A Christian and a muslim were sitting in the pub talking. The Christian says, "Christians are so discriminated against in this country."
The Muslim says, "You're joking! Muslims have it much worse! Islamophobia is everywhere."
"Nonsense!" said the Christian. "What do you think, barmaid?"
The barmaid replies, "It sounds like you're having a competition for the title of 'most persecuted religious group'. You wear your alleged victimhood like a badge and actively seek out opportunities to take offence, as if every slight or critical remark is a vindication of your beliefs and a chance to display your piety." As she walked away she said, "It's rather pathetic, really."
The two stared at each other for a while and the Christian said, "See what I mean? She's attacking Christians!"
The Muslim said, "I think you'll find her remarks were directed at me....."
