I'm a Muslim and am persecuted along with the rest of my brothers and sisters in Islam because the West fails to understand how we are and what Islam is about. The other day I was out with my husband getting food at the grocery store and two people said "Those Muslims are an embarrassment to the USA and we should leave until they get out of the aisle." I told my husband in the car and he told me not to worry about it. Other Muslims have their property damaged, their cars vandalized, or are the target of hate crimes due to the USA doesn't think Muslims deserve to be in existence at all.

Yes, I get persecuted and harassed by Christians (mainly) because I am an Ãsatrúar and because I am a lesbian. And I don't mean just online, I mean IRL too. I have had people vandalize my car, I have been threatened, I've lost a job once because of it, etc...

No. I'm not important enough to be persecuted.

No. Just because people sometimes don't agree with me doesn't make me persecuted....although it seems there are alot of cry-babies out there that think it does.

Not persecuted. Mildly harassed, maybe. My father would like me to give up this "lesbian phase" and get married.

No, not really. Actually, I take that back. I do feel that as a Woman, my rights are certainly being threatened in the current political climate.

Yes. Mom once found out I was interested in being pagan. She stole everything from me distantly related to magic. Now, to be able to do anything related to my religion, I have to hide.
