Bad analogy. A person’s deeply-held belief that a given religion is true, and calling others to that belief, is not the same as saying “you were born of a lower caste and should never be able to escape that.”

Of course, it goes without saying, perceiving you belong to the true faith does not justify violence or discrimination. But faith-based identification is not analogous to a caste system.

Are we going to lightly dismiss the prosecution of polytheists in many Islamic countries?

They were clearly talking about faith-based discrimination. Why would you assume that they were talking about faith-based identification, especially given the context?
