re: Report: Christians are most persecuted religious group in the world

Wish it would go further into how long this has been going on. Increased under obama no doubt.

Trump putting the muslim brotherhood, obamas buddies and WH guests aplenty, on the terrorist list is key. We just need him to start tweeting more about the killings, and destruction of Christian sites.

You want to make war against the USA? Because the USA will probably fight against the Christians in some kind of future Crusade.

We have to contain Muslims, when Omar got elected to Congress, I damn near shite my pants, you can just see us evolving into the UK, the Catholics will rise before the swine Muslims gain the majority here

Of all Christians in the USA, Roman Catholics account for less then one in four. Of that one in four, many of those are very elderly folks.

So, no, I don't think that Roman Catholics will be able to muster any kind of numbers that would be sufficient.

In terms of absolute numbers it may be true Christians suffer more persecution than other religions for the simple reason there are more Christians than any other religion.

In terms of percentages and seriousness of persecutions, I strongly suspect the people of the Bahá'í Faith suffer far more.

From Wikipedia:

Bahá'ís continue to be persecuted in Islamic countries, as Islamic leaders do not recognize the Bahá'í Faith as an independent religion, but rather as apostasy from Islam. The most severe persecutions have occurred in Iran, where more than 200 Bahá'ís were executed between 1978 and 1998,[82] and in Egypt. The rights of Bahá'ís have been restricted to greater or lesser extents in numerous other countries, including Afghanistan,[121] Indonesia,[122] Iraq,[123] Morocco,[124] Yemen,[125] and several countries in sub-Saharan Africa.[64]

Jews haven't exactly had an easy time of things either.

Lots of groups in Islamic countries are persecuted. Yazidis, Druze, Shia Muslims. From a bodycount point of view, Shia Muslims are up there as well. Something like 2000 have died since 2012 in Islamist violence in Pakistan, which is on top of a consistent effort by Islamist groups to kill them since the late 80's, which has resulted in upwards of 15,000-20,000 being murdered. I'd even call it a genocide, as there are groups in the country that are dedicated to wiping out Shia Muslims exclusively. This is not to mention the Anti-Shiaism of ISIS, where Shia homes were marked with the slur of Rafida in places ISIS conquered, and thousands killed. Broadly, the ethnic cleansing that occurred included Christians, Shia, and Yazidis, among other minorities, basically anyone who wasn't Sunni Muslim.

Speaking of genocide, what occurred to the Yazidis was straight up genocide as well. The Yazidis predate both Christians and Muslims to the area, and only number about 1 million. Official reports say that around 5,000 were killed, but I'd wager that number is much larger, as pretty much the entire population of Iraqi Yazidis were displaced by ISIS.

This is where the UN should step in and form a tribunal to try ISIS members, which would allow states to prosecute members returning to Europe where legal technicalities do not allow their prosecution. That it hasn't occurred yet is confounding to me.

Revelation 19 King James Version (KJV) 19 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Per capital it’s Jews. Total it’s Christians. Being anti-Christian is the only universally accepted prejudice.
