| Historically, no. On DCUM, possibly. |

Your title quotation left out a word:
"Christians were the most persecuted religious group, it found." |

Historically, no, but currently, yes. Don’t diminish the reality of what’s happening by snarkily including DCUM. This is about real people being killed for their beliefs. |

The report is specific to certain areas of the world; e.g., Sri Lanka and the Middle East.
Just to be clear, developed Western countries are not the context in discussion. |

The world is bigger than the developed West. |

OP didn't make any qualifiers. She titled this "Christians are the 'most persecuted group," and then gave a link with "This is BBC News, folks." The accurate title would be "Christians are the most persecuted religious group in certain non-primarily Christian areas of the world." |

Yes, there are certainly a bunch of martyrs on DCUM. |

| Not even close. Jews have more hate crimes against us per capita than almost any religious group. |

I wrote that comment and I actually didn’t mean it snarkily. I don’t see any other group attacked as regularly. Even when the topic is not religion, there’s little digs at Christians for their beliefs or practices. As a Catholic, DCUM is the only place where I am openly attacked for my faith. |

It makes sense with the qualifications to the claim that were left out by OP, in part because the Christian population is likely larger than the Jewish population in those particular areas. Also, this is in context of a recent upswing in violence against those of the Christian faith, so the claim should be temporally limited, too. |
