Citation, please? I've heard a fair amount of such talk, and don't ever recall the 10 Commandments being proposed as a solution.
A quick Google search for "Christian persecution ten commandments" gives articles like this one where the author gives the "trashing of the ten commandments" and the inability to put them up in public places as evidence of the persecution of Christians. The point seems to be that if we want to reverse this persecution of Christians, we need to stop preventing them from putting the 10 Commandments up.
I'll admit this is less explicit than "If you want to stop persecuting us, you must put up 10 commandments everywhere".
Yeah... in general, it's the stopping someone from putting them up that they view as the problem. You might find weak support for putting the 10 Commandments up more often, but that's not what they're actually talking about, and few Christians would argue that putting up the 10 Commandments somewhere would actually improve things much. That is, they view the removal of them or the refusal to post them as a symptom, not the problem itself.
