"Rowan Williams tells 'persecuted' western Christians to grow up."

Never has a monopoly ... the majority ... been so bizarrely paranoid.

Rowan Williams tells 'persecuted' western Christians to grow up; Former archbishop of Canterbury says UK and US Christians exaggerate 'mild discomfort', by Charlotte Higgins (The Guardian)

Christians in Britain and the US who claim that they are persecuted should "grow up" and not exaggerate what amounts to feeling "mildly uncomfortable", according to Rowan Williams, who last year stepped down as archbishop of Canterbury after an often turbulent decade.

"When you've had any contact with real persecuted minorities you learn to use the word very chastely," he said. "Persecution is not being made to feel mildly uncomfortable. 'For goodness sake, grow up,' I want to say."
