This is a great post. It's true that communism is by it's very nature anti-religion or anti-faith.

We all need to pray for the Chinese and those who are being persecuted.

Dustin U. Schwyn

We have religious persecution here! Our country seems to pride itself in religious freedom until you come into a position of power, then its used against you because of your association unless its Christianity. Currently, Muslims are feeling the majority of this persecution because the majority in this country equal Muslim with terrorism. How oversimplistic and wrong. Muslim US soldiers and Marines are dying for the right of those that equate them there. After 9/11, it got so bad that a Muslim Army Chaplain removed from post. Sure, the US is not the same a China, but we should not minimize the persecution that takes place here by looking at other countries that are worse.

Dustin:

Give me a break. China jails and kills people who disagree with their atheist viewpoint, yet you feel compelled to point out that sometimes US Muslims are made to feel comfortable?

Whoa.

Dustin Schwyn

Yea, most "Christians" respond that way. Most people commit sin justify themselves by say, "At least I don't do that?"! Very typical. By the way, you should research the hate crimes against Muslim's in this country. Get back to me about how "uncomfortable" they have felt.

Mark Andrews

Both of you are right! It is really hard not to feel uncomfortable around Muslims knowing what they want the world to be. My question is why are only Muslim women required to show thier faith by wearing clothing outside?

Don Sherfick

"It is really hard not to feel uncomfortable around Muslims knowing what they want the world to be."

Huh?

Do we really need this kind of divisive comment in what's usually a reasonably civil, though often elevated discourse on VR?

Dustin Schwyn

Very true!
