How to use Persecution in a sentence?
George Orwell, 1984 Book 3, Chapter 3:
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.

These threats have been growing, they have been growing for decades but never have the threats been greater to religious liberty than they are right here and now today, these threats are not imagined, they're not made up.

We see here a combination of the two persecution engines – Islamic extremism and organized corruption – where the vulnerable position of religious minorities, such as Christians, is being exploited, Kats said. Corruption is deeply rooted in Iraqi society, right up to the highest levels. Also, it is especially people in or close to political power who are occupying not just Christian-owned homes, but also churches and monasteries.
