That sounds serious! In fact, that problem's so widespread that you were able to come up with one whole example!
I don't know anything about the case you cited (I'd be able to learn more fairly quickly if WSN would take advantage of the fact that they have a website and actually get their writers to include links), but pardon me if I don't take your word for it that this was targeted specifically at Christians, and someone in a hijab would get a free pass. Besides, the idea that anti-Christian bigotry is a widespread epidemic while Muslims get a free pass because of political correctness is flatly ridiculous. How many Muslims do we have in Congress? One. How many Muslims have ever served as major party presidential candidates? (If your answer is anywhere above zero, there's no hope for you.) Meanwhile, numerous powerful members of Congress feel free to be openly anti-Muslim, although something tells me they wouldn't get away with saying the same about Christianity.
How many ridiculous, self-pitying "straight Christian white people are being oppressed" columns are you guys going to run before you finally get embarrassed?
