Religious Freedom Or Lack Thereof

In its newly released annual report, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) is urging the State Department to designate or redesignate 17 nations as “countries of particular concern” (CPCs) because they are nations in which “particularly severe violations of religious freedom are perpetrated or tolerated.”
The nations are Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, the Central African Republic, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Tajikistan, and Vietnam. 

So let's review:

COUNTRY                        DOMINANT RELIGION

BURMA                                      NONE (80%)
CHINA                                        OFFICIALLY ATHEIST

ERITREA                                    ISLAM
IRAN                                            ISLAM

N. KOREA                                   NONE
SAUDI ARABIA                         ISLAM

SUDAN                                        ISLAM 
TURKMENISTAN                      ISLAM

UZBEKISTAN                             ISLAM

CENTRAL AFRICAN                ANIMIST
      REPUBLIC
EGYPT                                        ISLAM 
IRAQ                                           ISLAM
NIGERIA                                    ISLAM 
PAKISTAN                                  ISLAM
SYRIA                                         ISLAM
TAJIKISTAN                              ISLAM  
VIETNAM                                  NONE (81%)


The report seems to indicate that Islam is not a very tolerant religion. How does that make you feel, Angry Muslim Guy?
