2. That's exactly where the problem is...

In the USA of A, if you a virulent secularist (no matter what kind of religion), you are not welcome.

Even if she is a "conservative", which she hardly is, she has the right to have an opinion.

She has the right to have protection for that opinion, when that opinion makes her risk death.

In a democracy there are no laws against "blasphemy". You have the right to say that Jesus was an idiot or Muhammed a sissy wothout any other risk than to be countered verbally. Not with a knife or a gun.

Guys like Mitt Romney and Huckabee in France would never be supported by millions like in the USA, they would be considered as
fringe fanatics.

You obviously don't understand the basics of freedom of expression, separation of Church and State and democracy.
Not to talk about the rights of death-threatened refugees.

Sadly it took her 4 years to understand that. You still don't.
