  What do nearly all of these countries have in common? They're led by authoritarian dictators. Put in place a leader with authoritarian tendencies and you can rest assured that one of the first things they'll do is demonize a non-dominant religion. The next thing they'll do is outlaw said religion. If the dominant religion happens to be the one to which you subscribe then everything is hunky dory. If not, well, that's a different story. Just ask the Jews who survived Hitler's reich.
  
  We just elected a leader with strong authoritarian tendencies. His first step has been to try to demonize Muslims. If we don't stand up for our Muslim brethren now and defend their religious freedom before anti-Muslim sentiment gets out of hand then we're no better than the German Christians who looked the other way during WWII.
