Yes Mancie I do ! Simply because of the rules governing equality which are meant to be applied equally across the board to all creeds, colours, genders & persuasions, are more forcefully applied when dealing with a perceived attack on a "minority". Those taking up the torch would see the issue more as a racial issue than a religious one simply because they have a better chance of success on race grounds than religious ones, religion would be a secondary issue.

The press abounds with such tales of discrimination in all walks of life, as I've mentioned elsewhere there is a level of racism & discrimination in all of us & that will never change. As long as we remain human & can't be programmed to think & act in a certain way prejudices will be eternal.
