Irrelevant as per. Christians are persecuted in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and indeed across the Moslem world. Christians in these countries are not Westerners, but local people. Coptic Christians pre-date Moslems in Egypt and were once the majority population. In Turkey - of course one of those 'corrupt dictatorships' you always go on about - the Ecumenical Patriarch has a very difficult time operating even though Bartholomew I is a Turk. 

I think the Pope has a point when he says we should demand 'reciprocity'.
