black people, Hispanics or most minority's. Christians bought slaves in the south before the civil war. This was sanctioned by the Church.
During the 1930's depression. Jobs were hard to come by and the dust bowl in Oklahoma made many South & mid Western people moved to California. They were taking much needed jobs away from people who lived there. It was almost a war of persacution inflicted upon them. Rather than help the starving people migrateing there to find jobs and food. They were severly persacuted and told to go home. By good Christian people.
Consenesas objectors. During the Viet Nam era they had the draft and everyone was expected to go fight the war. Many people didn't agree with the war and didn't want to go die in the jungle for nothing. So they burned their draft cards.
Most of those drafted were poor and only 19 years old and didn't want to die for something they didn't agree with. Some were killed for not going. Others were put in prison as the churches told them they should do their duty and go to war. 56,000 died as the Christians cheered on those who went and condemed those young men who didn't. Knowing they were sending them to almost certain death. Just like they are doing to the young men today in Iraq. They have a lot of blood guilt.

I'm a Christian and I have not nor will persecute anyone for any reason. God is judge. My right to believe in what I see fit is not a form of persecution. It is when people take matters into their own hands.

People can do anything in the name of God,Jesus. It is by their works that you will know them.Christians, such as the founding fathers of the west did the best they could with what they had,our countries are a testimony to that fact,in that we are blessed with freedoms that most can only dream of. Is it a coincident that all Christian nations of the world are blessed with economic prosperity,military might,freedom,democracy,while the all the
non- Christian nations are still trying to become developed,and or live in total oppression.
To answer your question.
Christians love their fellow man as they would want to be loved,knowing we are all of God's creation. We all follow after Jesus who indeed teaches love.
You as He said, "will know them by their works". Can a good tree bring forth evilness,can an evil tree bring forth goodness?

Actually, me. Mom found my Wiccan stuff and went ballistic. I feel horrible about having to hid myself from everyone around me, but I just can't live like that.
Or, if you mean a group of people, I'd say everyone. Christians like to persecute homosexuals, minority religions, books, television, Catholics, Protestants, Mormans, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.

Yes, anyone who is not Christian is told that they're going to burn in Hell. Sounds like persecution to me.
