It is a term used by Indians and Pakistani people. So we have identified our Islamophobe's background. Sheds light on where her hatred may come from. She is possibly of a minority faith and was oppressed in her country.[/quote]

If she is Pakistani, she is not a minority and indeed Pakistani Sunni oppression of Christians and minority Muslim sects is common:

Ugh. Of a minority FAITH, of course. Christians are discriminated in Pakistan, as are other minorities. That has to do with Pakistan's culture, not Islam.[/quote]

discriminated is not the right word.  Murdered is more accurate.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A mob accused of burning alive a Christian couple in an industrial kiln in Pakistan allegedly wrapped a pregnant mother in cotton so she would catch fire more easily, according to family members who witnessed the attack. Sajjad Maseeh, 27, and his wife Shama Bibi, 24, were set upon by at least 1,200 people after [b]rumors circulated that they had burned verses from the Quran,[/b] family spokesman Javed Maseeh told NBC News via telephone late Thursday. Their legs were also broken so they couldn't run away.

"They picked them up by their arms and legs and held them over the brick furnace until their clothes caught fire," he said. "And then they threw them inside the furnace."
