Banning headscarfs in france is also persecution but I don’t see you shouting about that. Forcing Jews to wear a yellow badge so they could be identified was persecution. Keeping black people into slavery was persecution. Transporting black people from Africa to the US and the death of millions along the way was persecution.

1. The head scarfs are not banned in France only burkas (head to toe covering). 2) Slavery was very common in Islamic world too & even today in Pakistan there are estimated 2 million+ boded laborers (modern day slavery). Btw, none of those things justify persecution of this group.

Law to stop Ahmadis (which is a cult that was formed by Mr Mirza Ghulam Ahmad) to stop impersonating as muslims when they are not, is not persecution but for public good of the larger society.

In west many people consider Islam to be a cult, too, yet people are allowed to practice and preach Islam. Btw, what public good are you taking about?

If they stop calling themselves muslims then they are totally free to practice their faith. They enjoy high positions in Pakistan and have their own places of worship. They face no persecution, although many of them will claim being persecuted in order to get asylum in the west where many of them are nowadays.

This is pretty much Taliban thinking, too. How is what you are saying different from what Taliban are doing by sending in suicide bombers to kill people in mosques b/c according them they are sufficiently Muslim enough?
