Orthodox Canadian Cousins

My Canadian cousins who are here for Chistmas are Orthodox. It has been wierd talking to them . They are sooooooooo anti-Muslim it isnt even funny. I was surprised by their animosity towards Islam. They are ususally rather liberal. But, not on this issue. They are convinced that Islam is the worst thing to happen to Christianity in the history of the world. They keep talking about how the christians are persecuted and everything. I dont deny that it isnt a cake walk being a Christian in a Muslim country, but the Christians have it relatively well. They keep talking about the extremeists as if all Muslims are extremists and that they can judge the religion based on a few nuts. They even had the gall to portray the Christians in Serbia as people under persecution. They convieniently ignored Milosovich and the sole reason that Nato has troops in the area.
