"One of things that is a classic trope of the religious bigot...

...is while they are denying people's rights, they claim that their rights are being denied; while they are persecuting people, they claim to be persecuted; and while they are behaving colossally offensively, they claim to be the offended party. It's an upside-down world." - Salman Rushdie from Real Time with Bill Maher

Well said, sir.
