Middle Eastern Christian vs. American Christian [View all]
Sorry about the small text. The first two panels are transcribed below for those on mobile devices or in need of reading glasses.
Panel 1: I'm a Middle-Eastern Christian. In Egypt we can't build new churches, and the authorities ignore the frequent violence committed against us. Almost all of us have been pushed out of Iraq. In Saudi Arabia we have to hide inside to have church services. In some Muslim countries converts to Christianity are sentenced to prison or death. In Sudan we are decapitated for our faith by Islamists. We face a lot of religious oppression.
Panel 2: Oh, I know about oppression too. I'm an American Christian. In the US we aren't always allowed to put our religious symbols on every single public building. Sometimes bosses aren't allowed to restrict their workers' access to contraception. People sometimes say mean things about us on blogs. And worst of all during Christmas some people say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." I truly understand what you mean by religious oppression. I sure wish I had religious feedom (sic).
