"Your definition is not about persecution."
You appear to be re-defining the term to suit your defence of Christian persecution of other Christians - by the way - Savita Halappanavar - (she who died because a Christian law prevented a life saving operation) was not a Christian.
Can you provide a definition that says that if a law persecutes the entire population, then if is "not persecution"?
Or, on the other hand, are you saying that allowing a woman to die or preventing 2 11 year olds from having life saving operations on religious grounds is not persecution?
