“Are they being persecuted for being Christian or for being Catholic?”
In Muslims countries they’re persecuted for being Christians. In the other places they’re usually persecuted for being specifically Catholic.
This is nonsense. Muslims are out to kill every non-muslim in the world and you folks are trying to stir up problems within Christianity.
Catholics have been persecuted in history. Catholics have also been the persecutors of others.
What places are targeting Catholics for being catholic?
