World Net Daily, the ultra conservative, evangelical, Christian right news site has a history of pandering to a targeted demographic of reader. Even after President Obama furnished his long form birth certificate, the site continued to suggest the "birther" conspiracy theory.
Previous articles on the website have reported such nonsense as that a new trend is that gay parents are selectively aborting heterosexual fetuses, and that gays and Muslims are trying to infiltrate the Republican party. Let's just say, the website is an acquired taste. According to their site, they receive 40 million views and 5 million unique visitors per month, so somebody out there is reading what they're saying.
This morning, they printed an online survey asking, "Do you believe U.S. Christians are being persecuted?". So far, 94% say YES. 3% say MAYBE.

According to Wikipedia, 76% of the American population is Christian. How can the overwhelming majority of a country's residents feel threatened or terrorized by the minority. Doesn't it work the other way around?
