Doesn't America call itself a "Christian country"?But all its citizens,ostensibly,have the same rights.The same is true for Israel, at least when I was there-granted many years ago.I'm sure there are individual incidents of bigotry as there is in EVERY country.Israel has synagogues,churches AND mosques.Why don't we hear any complaints about these "Islamic states" where you can get a death sentence for converting from Islam.There are also no churches,let alone synagogues-I am not even mentioning womens' as well as basic human rights.Oh yes,we buy oil from them,so we'd better shut up.
