In some of the middle-eastern nations where the national government is controlled by a religious group, and that government does not stop (or do much of anything about it) members of the religious group from imprisoning, torturing, or executing Christians, then it essentially is almost as if the government itself is sponsoring the activity. More middle-eastern nations should be listed in answers here, as their actions speak louder than their official words. | |

Such countries are known to try to pretend that they are free and democratic, and despite no law explicitly forbidding something, you can still be imprisoned or tortured on made-up charges (or no charges at all) if you do something they don't like. | |
