In America, "terrorism" is a term used to justify all sorts of suppression of fundamental rights—usually directed as a religious minority. There is both government and social suspicion of Islamic groups that have no connection to terrorism, they just make people uncomfortable. I strongly, strongly support the freedom of expression of people in the US under vague suspicion of terrorism. And even Christians in the US can get on the wrong side of this. My old church has a Hispanic congregation that worships in the early afternoon, and some ICE agents came by, not to worship, but because they heard there was a "large Hispanic celebration." My pastor dragged them out. https://theintercept.com/2018/01/19/ice-new-sanctuary-movement-ravi-ragbir-deportation/ https://theintercept.com/2018/01/19/ice-new-sanctuary-moveme... I can see a very small distance from where we are in the US to declaring that sanctuary churches are aiding terrorism, to defining (as in China) a state-friendly Christianity that is acceptable because it reinforces the desired social engineering of the powerful and a rogue Christianity whose believers need to be arrested for reasons of national security. (Full disclosure, I am ethnically an Indian "St. Thomas Christian," and although I was born and live in America I was baptized in India, so I might be slightly reacting to your comment out of that. I don't think I am, though, although I certainly haven't kept up with the facts on the ground in India.)
