Muslim Anti-Christian Violence

Interesting article here about the rise of anti-christian violence in Muslim countries:

I have noticed for a while that a lot of the intervention by the the western powers in Muslim countries seems to work against the local Christian population: e.g. the Christian population in Iraq is now under attack and the biggest losers in Palestine are the Arab Christians who seem to have been driven out as the Israeli / Palestinian conflict has become a 'holy' war between Jews and Muslims.

A lot of this comes about as the western powers are seen, by the Muslims, as Christian nations; something from which their populations are increasingly identifying with less and less.
