Ah, and just to add a few more shades of grey (and perhaps irony)... this is a case which happened (provided it did happen) in Bavaria. That's the same Bavaria which is governed by the CSU, which is the political party known for its vehement fight for the right to display the Christian cross in the schoolrooms of public schools... a fight wich was successfully fought so far.
So, if we assume this case is true (I have certain doubts there), christian conservatives are "persecuated" by other christian conservatives here.
True. Plus, Bavaria is almost a different country to the rest of Germany.
