Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) who were persecuted historically were simply following and practicing their religion. People thought they Mormons strange and didn't want Mormon neighbors, so they'd run them out of town. Mormons only brought it on themselves by being unwilling to compromise their beliefs and principles. They weren't willing to change just to satisfy other people.

That's not true. All Mormons do not pride themselves on this fact, so since the premise of your question is flawed, there is no way to answer it. Mormons worship the God of the Bible, the same God as everyone else, believing only different things about Him.
