Of course, there are places where any sign of celebrating Christmas would trigger immediate persecution. In any part of Mesopotamia presently controlled by the Islamic State (ISIS), practicing Christians would lose their heads.
当然，有一些地方，任何庆祝圣诞节的迹象都会立刻遭致迫害。在目前由伊斯兰国控制的美索不达米亚地区，身为基督徒可能会让你掉了脑袋。这是最糟糕的情况——伐异和杀戮划上了等号。但伐异还有其他形式，比偏执的圣战要温和许多。这样的伐异不会杀害任何人，但贬损我们所有人。
