[SarahPalin]

how many times must you ask this same question

[Rob]

Jehovah's Witnesses. Jesus stated at John 15:18-20 that if you are part of the world, you would be fond by the world. If you keep separate from the world, you would be persecuted. Witnesses are the only ones that make sure that they, including me, keep separate from the world.

[Pangelhuggingtheworld]

I suppose that depends on where in the world you are
I think they all have been at some point .. somewhere
but it seems to be more cultural persecution than religious

[CarL]

Jews... everybody hates the Jews...
Think about it..
What does the it mean being the Chosen people?

Jews are the first monotheistic religion and therefore have been around the longest. While there are not many Jews in the world, they are blamed for most of the problems and therefore have been the most persecuted.

Jews have been persecuted longer than any other religion.
