You can bet the folks harassing this freedom fighter are supporters of Sistani and Jaafari.

Yay for my religion! So much better than Islam! Also note how Christian countries have FAR more strip clubs than Muslim ones. Of course I did see Somalis at the last strip club I went to.

Denmark is officially a Christian country. They have a state church. They also have gay marriage and opebo could probably live there quite happily.

And that does not explain the point being made in this thread, why is most of the porn and alcohol in the Middle East made by Christians?

Well, the Muslims probably pay a lot less attention to them than to other Muslims due to their being in a tiny minority.  Can you imagine what would happen in a place like Iran if a Muslim's neighbors knew that he was producing pornography?

So then why do the Christians not care? And all the countries being mentioned are not theocracies, Lebanon and Syria certainly aren't.

The alcohol is Christian because the Qu'ran forbids the consumption of intoxicating liquors, but the Bible is very pro-alcohol, using wine a metaphor for life and telling Christians to ritually drink alcohol to honor Christ in death.

Yes, Christianity is much more tolerant of alcohol but that doesn't stop denominations like the Baptists from banning it. Of course there are very few of those in the Middle East. That does not explain porn however. This simply can't be explained with the usualy Islam-apologist excuse that Christian countries are usually more modernized and secular since we're talking about the groups in the same countries here.
