Maybe because you're the loudest religion on the block.

If atheism was considered a religion, that wouldn't be true.

Iam an anti theist, we could do it in a couple of generations not through violence just through education
We should sacrifice our men and women to protect the Christians in a Muslim homeland? That then puts our asses in the fire and invites another attack on our country because we're picking fights over a matter that Muslims have proven they are willing to kill for. Yeah, let's go to war with the Middle East for another 20 years!
The staggering death toll of Christians alone, estimates the documentary, “Martyred in the USSR,” is 12 million.
By the 1960s, a fourth Soviet anti-religious campaign was under way, and half of the Russian Orthodox Christian churches were closed, along with five of the eight seminaries.
Several other Christian denominations were devastated, including the Baptist Church, Methodist Church, Evangelical Christian Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
The League of Militant Atheists, founded in 1929, aided the Soviet government in murdering clergy and devout believers, the documentary’s promoters note.
Along with the martyrdom of an estimated 12 million Christians, millions of Muslims and Buddhists also were killed because of their faith.

Perhaps not, but if our support was contingent upon protection of minorities, I feel it would be a huge step in the proper direction.

I'm still puzzled about what any of the Middle East's actions against Christianity has to do with the US.
Have you bothered checking the thread title, which mentions Christianity as the main focal point? I mean, America is in it too, but Christianity is the plaintiff here.
You posted a link describing all of these other countries persecuting Christians, then somehow managed to place the blame on America for not getting in their business.
I could have sworn complaints have been made about America UNABLE to mind it's own business.

Nonsense! The title, only, addresses the crime (Facilitation of "Christian Persecution"), and the defendant ("The United States"). There is no plaintiff mentioned.

You've got that backwards! The OP's suggestion is:
The US might be the blame BECAUSE of our "getting in their business".
I could have sworn complaints have been made about America UNABLE to mind it's own business.
If you weren't so blinded by your hatred of Christianity, you might see that the OP is, also, about America being "UNABLE to mind it's own business".

Unlike theism and atheism, God isn't the primary concern of politics.

You may claim your post doesn't contain any bigotry, I on the other hand will continue to contest that.
By your inane logic I can claim that things like police beatings and general misbehavior doesn't occur due to the police force being a minority whereas the American (civilian) populace is in the majority. The same for American government, the NSA? Nah, can't be happening due to the fact that they're a minority and we all know by your logic that a majority cannot be persecuted or treated ill.
My point is, you fail to realize that a majority does not equal freedom from oppression and persecution.
A Christian is complaining about Christian persecution. Therefore, I'm using the term "plaintiff" because a case has been made in accusation.
And I'm done with this back-and-forth between you and I. It's boring and pointless.
