Tony Perkins, president of the Family Council, told Fox News that the two incidents shore up “the contrast between Islam and Christianity.” “You don’t have to plead with Christians not to riot and burn and storm buildings simply because they are offended,” Perkins said. “That’s the difference. That’s why Christianity moves nations forward and Islam moves nation backwards.” Thu, 27 Sep 2012 01:41:06 EDT Hollis Phelps c3a21e48-27bf-4352-8113-2fff7546a8fa https://religiondispatches.org/2012/08/20/what-religious-hostility-looks Tony Perkins’ sudden survey paints a picture of Christians under siege.
