Very broadly speaking, there are perhaps many parts/stages/phases that go towards a build up of persecution complex..
1. data collection
2. data reconstruction
3. institutional support
4. some triggering event
5. actionable items.
In no particular order. There is a complex interplay of things.. In some cases a evangelical foundation (#3) whose only purpose is to devour other civilzations would commission a study (#4) asking a loaded question "how many times does a typical hindu burn his wife" followed by statistical whizkids who will go after 'data' (#1) followed by appropriate stories planted in appropriate places (#2) culminating in protest by feminist groups that demand to stop "genocide of women" by stupid hindus of India, for example.
Similarly there might be other combinations too. <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->
