The Mahablog challenge

The always excellent Mahablog has issued a challenge to her readers. I think its a challenge worthy of PKers as well:

You’re on, toots. The only oppression of Christians in this country of which I am aware has been at the hands of OTHER Christians. Here’s an example. But if you can find a SINGLE EXAMPLE of Christian Americans being oppressed by non-Christians, or of any government officials at federal, state, or local level locking churches or throwing Christians in jail because of their beliefs — not for something they did, like break a law — then please tell us. Tell us here. Provide links. That goes for anyone else breezing through this blog. Put up or shut up.

Outstanding.

There is a serious persecution complex among quite a few Christians in this country. But are there any real examples of Christians being jailed in this country because of their beliefs? Is there a single example of a Christian being persecuted here in the US (specifically meaning to be harassed by ill treatment or persistently harmed)due to their beliefs?

To echo Maha: put up or shut up.
