Does that surprise anyone? 10 countries are considered "tier one" regarding the level of suppression practiced against religious beliefs; that is they are the worst and most egregious offenders when it comes to persecution based in what one believes. This will come as a surprise to those who firmly believe it is Christianity that holds the title of worlds most oppressive religion, as it is Muhammad that has a hold of these countries, not Jesus.
