Even if religious uniformity were theoretically desirable, experience has shown it to be unttainable except by means such as the Inquisition, torturing and burning heretics, or fining and imprisoning persons for their beliefs. - Thomas Jefferson

christianophobia?

Yes, that's right. Christianophobia. In an ongoing campaign to have its hallucinatory persecution complex nurtured, the Vatican has proposed that the term be "recognized as an evil that is equal to hatred of Jews and Muslims."

"It should be recognized that the war against terrorism, even though necessary, had as one of its side effects the spread of 'Christianophobia' in vast areas of the globe," [Vatican foreign minister, Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo] told a U.S.-organized conference on religious freedom in Rome.

Hmm. Perhaps that's because this administration, along with its Generals, have pitched the current Iraq war as a "crusade". Might that have anything to do with it?

And what if the UN *doesn't* agree to it, is it yet more evidence of Christophobia? Indeed, it's actually just more evidence that 'religious tolerance' is seeking to become 'religious immunity'.
