...assumption of power two decades ago by President Yoweri Museveni, a southerner who helped end the string of bloody reigns by northerners such as Milton Obote and Idi Amin. Former soldiers who returned north and felt out of favor soon formed a rebel groups with Christian roots but decidedly anti-Christian tactics...
...images per se were not the problem; many newspapers satirize religion and Muslim newspapers have published provocative anti-Christian articles and cartoons. Nor did Jyllands-Posten deliberately incite Muslim violence; the newspaper is aimed at the Dutch public, not Muslims in particular.

An election scorecard compiled by the ACL and other Christian groups gave the Greens 0 out of 26. Labor did little better, with 4. (The Coalition rated 16.) Shadow foreign affairs minister Kevin Rudd, a devout Christian, has expressed outrage at the notion that "God has somehow become some...
