The government plays the two religious groups against each other and has a habit of leaning against one to get favors from the extremists of the other. Recently, they prosecuted a Christian woman who converted to Islam and they handed her back to the church, who in turn revoked her conversion and punished her. Previously, they released a Muslim man who stabbed a Christian man, etc. etc.
As you, Gobbles, know (I know you just signed up, but why the trollish handle?) fascism works best when the public is kept in fear, hateful of each other, and divided.
