RESPONSE:
Before you profess to know something you have to know a little more than you
seem to know. While Europeans are allowed to practice Christianity, Asian
Christians have to go underground to practice their religion in Saudi Arabia.
And it's not as if Indian Muslims are feted, placed on a chair and carried
around town. No Arab considers Indian Muslims to be their "brethren". So you
see, the humiliation is not directed towards religion per se, it is racial, so
stop acting like a martyr.

RESPONSE: I can almost imagine you perched on a wall at the crack of dawn, with
that bit of cockalorum.
