Religious persecution is on the rise throughout the world, according to a recent report by The Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Some religious freedom experts suggest that this Administration's culture of accommodation has lead to an increase in violent bloodshed of religious minorities in countries like Egypt and Pakistan.
