Christians are one of the most perscuted groups in the world, but to say they are the most persecuted group is clearly an unescessarily extreme position to take, which is going to invite ridicule and do nothing to help the issue.
I guess he was talking about stuff like this, which seems to be getting worse.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/10642979/Boko-Haram-kill-over-100-in-village-massacre.html
The most depressing thing I heard recently was that Christians in Africa have been targeted because of the Anglican Church's relaxed stance on homosexuality. "We should stand up against persecution of Christians and other faith groups wherever and whenever we can." Is not something I would argue with, but from his mouth comes accross as a cheap soundbite.
