To show a 'well-founded fear of persecution', an alien need not prove that it is more likely than not that he or she will be persecuted in his or her home country.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Persecutions are inevitable as a Christian. We are not greater than our Master, Jesus Christ, in whose Holy Spirit we gain strength to endure.
Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.
Religious persecution may shield itself under the guise of a mistaken and over-zealous piety.
While America has always been and always will be a safe harbor for those being persecuted by tyrannical governments we must be vigilant to ensure those individuals are not taking advantage of America's generosity and good will.
I do not want to be misunderstood that you need a dose of persecution in order, really, to have a sense of your identity. Otherwise, you know, there would be no American Jews. Even if you're not strictly, fiercely Orthodox, you commit yourselves to a community of memory.
You can easily see why the experience of Jews would be helpful if you're looking to get action on religious persecution.
Jewish persecution is a historical memory of the present generation and people fear it in the present day, and that's why those references are so much more powerful. I just understand that better now.
Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts of apathy to one of brotherly love.
Religion which requires persecution to sustain, it is of the devil's propagation.
Persecution is the first law of society because it is always easier to suppress criticism than to meet it.
