Compared to Canada

70.3% in Canada are of the Christian faith.
Soo... because Canada is only 70% Christian... Afghanis mistaking Canada for a 'Christian nation' is totally out to lunch? I don't think its a far off assumption for them to make... just like Azure assumed they were Arabs, and he (presumably) has a first-world education. Seems easy to misconstrue other nation's make-up and intent, that was my point. I'm not surprised some Afghan's would believe we're part of a 'Christian' oriented occupation force.
