	Persecution
		Persecution is particularly relevant to catastrophic millennialism, the belief in an imminent cataclysmic transition to a collective salvation.
		Persecution strengthens catastrophic millennial beliefs, hardens the boundaries drawn between "us" and "them," and causes millennial groups to become caught up in violence that may be initiated either by the believers or by outsiders who assault them.
		In such cases, persecution serves to weaken a group that is already suffering from internal stresses, and thus might motivate believers to resort to violent actions to preserve their religious goal.

	UNHCR - Refugees Magazine Issue 101 (Asylum in Europe) - Persecution complex
		Thomas's big mistake was to be persecuted by a faction rather than by official state authorities such as the army or secret police.
		Persecution, according to the restrictive interpretation, can only be carried out by a government or - a recent concession in some asylum countries - by some other "state-like" authority.
		A March 1995 UNHCR information note addressed to the member states of the European Union stated: "Persecution that does not involve state complicity is still, nonetheless, persecution." To someone unacquainted with the non-state issue, this might appear to be stating the obvious.

	Do religious people stereotypically have a "persecution" complex? - PbNation
		I think there is real persecution going on in places for various religions, but I think it may be that mostly is dependent on the "rulers"/authorities of the area, and their use and abuse of religious beliefs.
		Also, the persecution complex comes from the loose use the word/term and that is always something to watch out for.
		But the persecution complex is used to fuel a lot of movements not just religous, but also race and social ones as well.

	Persecution Complex?
		If you want to really energize a social force, let them feel that they are being persecuted or in danger of being crushed and they will really get out the workers.
		In some ways, Western Christians speaking of "persecution" is almost an insult to those around the world who have truly suffered for their faith.
		Those who have been imprisioned, shunned by families, starved, refused any but the most menial work, or who have been killed for their faith, those who must meet in secret to hear about Christianity, must be amused by our stories of "persecution" which amounts to little more than inconvenience and bad press.

	slacktivist: Persecution (cont'd.)
		Believing that you are persecuted, with an attitude to the evidence which is not so much defiant as wilfully ignorant, has been fundamental to some people's political identities through the ages.
		This basically required that england's holy resolve be defended from the various catholic conspiracies that threatened to weaken the country's holy resolve and to kill catholics and any rulers seen as supporting catholics (by not ordering the mass slaughter of the irish and stealing all their land for instance).

	The Mormon Persecution Complex - the give and take of Mormon persecution
		Therefore, Mormons had to be persecuted in order to prove that they were the "one true church".
		While the persecutions Mormons received were at times horrible, and many of the persecutors did things that were totally unjustified, these Sunday School answers don't do justice to history and what really occurred.
		The deciding distinction between (other closely bonded religious) groups and Mormons was that the former neither sought political power nor pressed their opinions on outsiders through newspapers or proselyting.

		Meanwhile, they seek constantly to entrench the persecution complex ever more deeply in the minds of their followers in order to allow their own betrayal to escape scrutiny.

		Indeed, in the beginning it was Roman Catholics persecuting against Christians, and now its people that don't believe in God at all that persecute Christians.

	The Carpetbagger Report » Blog Archive » The right’s paranoia leads to a persecution complex
		I happen to be Christian (one who actually tries to follow Jesus’ teachings) and want everyone in the USA to be free to practice their own faith (as long as it doesn’t involve anything illegal of course) or to follow no faith.
		These conservative religious wingers have no concept of what persecution for their religious beliefs is. No one is stopping them from praying, from attending church, reading their Bibles, etc. No one is knocking on their doors to haul them off to prison or killing them for practicing their faith.
		The scary thing is that I’ve noticed that some in the rank-and-file–the ordinary Evangelicals whose actual beliefs are often much less conservative than their leaders–are starting to unconsciously internalize the persecution complex and eliminationism that has become so typical of their leaders.

		What the persecuted Christians are advocating, with their lines about getting next to nothing through the democratic political process, is the idea of tyranny of the majority.
