A dove and peace

PLANO, TX, US: This is with reference to David Martin’s article of August 17 titled ‘A dove stands for peace’.

Most countries with a majority Muslim population treat their minorites like cattle. There is little or no freedom to profess religion, build religious structures, etc. But in secular countries where there is a minority Muslim population, it demands these rights vociferously. In such an environment on what basis can the general Muslim population (leave alone extremists, political leaders and so on) claim that they treat followers of other religions equally?
