Let me be clear for you as you are find this such a difficult concept:
We agree it was a generalisation about Christians.
The sentence was derogatory about Christians frequently harping on about persecution
Not all Christians do frequently harp on abortion persecution
Once again, the sentence was not about all Christians.
The generalisation is incorrect and derogatory
Please define 'generalization' as you are clearly using a different definition than any you have posted to date. Certainly the definition you posted from a dictionary with a very long list of examples does not support your current usage.
Better yet, simply make your argument without using the word 'generalization'.
I believe you are claiming:
1. That the statement was about all Christians.
2. That the statement was claiming that it was supported by one example and only one example and that example was being used to prove the statement.
Obviously 1 and 2 are false.
