“God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the kingdom of Heaven is theirs” Matthew 5:9 (NLT)

Persecution is being treated cruelly or unfairly over a period of time especially because of your religious or political beliefs.

Another definition of persecution is to deliberately cause difficulties for someone by annoying them often.

My point therefore is; persecution is not only when you take a man and hang him on the cross for a sin he did not commit, persecution is also deliberately making someone go through a difficult situation or difficulties by making them get angry all the time.

So when you do things deliberately too often to people that gets them angry you are persecuting them.

Again I have often heard people misquote this verse of the bible to mean that God will bless those that are persecuted when they get to heaven.

Some people interpret this to mean that, when people persecute you it is criteria for you to get to heaven.

This is why you hear some Christians sing sorrowful songs to make people feel sympathy for their situations.
