On a serious note. People have been subjected to violence because of their religious, political or even football beliefs. Their gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race and who knows what else for probably as long as we have been on the planet.
People suck. As the late great Bill Hicks said -
We're just a virus with shoes.

“Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name.
This text is lifted is from the JW site: http://www.watchtower.org/e/bible/mt/chapter_024.htm
The person speaking in the text is Jesus, it is HIS name he is referring to, not the name Jehovah as you are implying with your video link to Jehovah's Witnesses being persecuted. There is am important significance in that.

Your OP quoted the scripture about being persecuted for a name indicating that was the sole reason the Jehovah's Witnesses in the clip were being terribly abused. By implication of your organisational name and beliefs about the Godhead, you are stating that the persecution was for the name of Jehovah. I am questioning that as the scripture say we will be persecuted for the name of Jesus, not the name Jehovah.
