This is a key issue. Islamic states such as Sudan and Iran have used
alcohol as an excuse to harass christian priests. After all alcohol is
forbidden in islam, although it is a moot point as to whether the
prohibition applies to unbelievers with a strict interpretation of the
koran.
	Nevertheles the USA government is all too willing to condemn
Iran and Sudan, (but not Saudi Arabia) without holding up the mirror
to their own policies.
