Since the time of Jesus, many Christians have experienced persecution from both non-Christians and from other Christians during the history of Christianity. Persecution has included confiscation of destruction, imprisonment, torture and even execution. Today, some of the worst persecution of Christians occurs in Islamic countries such a Saudi Arabia where Christians who openly profess their faith risk death.
