Is it any wonder that Westerners feel persecuted by Political Correctness gone horribly astray and that we get such a bad read on Islam? These types of examples are sadly too easy to find.

I don't see this as "PC gone astray"...rather, it's more like upholding the part of the Bill of Rights that says Congress shall make no law favoring any church or religion, that keeps us from turning into a Theocracy that burns people for not following the Official State religion...
