Yep.
However, I've noticed that when Christians say, "we're being oppressed for our religion," they often mean, "we are being forced to acknowledge the existence of other religions."
I can posit that the books do-or-don't advocate for Islam or against Christianity; without seeing the texts, I can't reach any conclusions about that. But I can look at the history of claims of "religious persecution" from educators in TX, and state that it's *likely* that a non-Christian would find no evidence of prejudice against Christianity--just a set of historical facts that haven't been skewed to show it in a positive light.

I have to admit, it sounds as if you think those you agree with SHOULD have the right to petition, and those you don't agree with should NOT.

No, everyone has the right to petition. And to have objectively-minded judges who are aware of their own preferences and know how to spot biased presentations, even when they agree with the goals of those biases.
