The Islamic oppression, subjugation and slaughter of non-Muslims living in Muslim countries is ignored by a leftist, sharia-compliant press unhinged by an administration that wants to do something about this ongoing genocide. This is the regime that Barack Obama enriched with billions of dollars. This is the regime that has repeatedly vowed to wipe Israel off the map. This is the regime that its people, yearning for freedom, are doing all they can to rid themselves of — while the international media largely ignores their protests, as well as the Islamic regime’s support for international terror groups.
“Christians in Iran Seized from Homes, including Violent Imprisonment of Pastor,” Morning Star News, July 25, 2018:
(Morning Star News) – Three Christians in Iran were arrested from their homes today and yesterday following the violent arrest of pastor Yousef Nadarkhani on Sunday (July 22), according to advocacy group Middle East Concern (MEC).
Story continues below advertisementPastor Nadarkhani, a convert from Islam like the others arrested, was awaiting a summons to begin a 10-year prison sentence after his appeal of a conviction for “propagating house churches” and promoting “Zionist Christianity” was upheld in May.
“Around 10 police officers arrived at the house and physically assaulted Yousef’s son when he opened the door to them,” MEC reported. “Both Yousef and his son were tasered, despite offering no resistance. The manner of their arrest was probably an attempt to intimidate the Christian community, but their friends report that the church has not given in to fear.”
Pastor Nadarkhani was sentenced on July 6, 2017, along with fellow converts from Islam Yasser Mossayebzadeh, Mohammadreza Omidi and Saheb Fadaie. Mossayebzadeh was arrested from his home today, and Omidi and Fadaie were arrested from their homes yesterday evening (July 24), according to MEC.
Pastor Nadarkhani ad [sic] Omidi were also sentenced to two years of internal exile, according to MEC.
“Both will serve this sentence in the south of Iran, far away from their families in Rasht,” the group reported in a press statement.
The three Christians arrested today and yesterday have been taken to Evin Prison in Tehran to join Pastor Nadarkhani, who has been put in a “quarantine” ward normally reserved as a form of punishment, according to MEC.
“Please pray that the Lord will comfort and strengthen those arrested and their families and that the Christian community in Iran will trust the Lord and not be intimidated,” MEC’s statement read, also requesting prayer that “Iranian authorities will treat converts and other religious minorities with respect, and that they and their families will not be wrongly and aggressively handled.”
The four Christians were arrested in Rasht on May 13, 2016 during a series of raids by security agents on Christian homes, according to advocacy group Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW). They were sentenced by Judge Ahmadzadeh, head judge of the 26th Branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran, who is accused of miscarriages of justice and is subject to financial sanctions in the United Kingdom, according to CSW.
“Their appeal hearing on 13 December 2017 took place before Judge Hassan Babaee and Judge Ahmad Zargar, both of whom are alleged to have played prominent roles in the crackdown on freedom of expression in Iran,” CSW said in a press statement.
Judge Zargar, a Hojjatolislam (clerical position immediately below an ayatollah), was among several Iranian officials deemed responsible or complicit in serious human rights violations in 2012, according to CSW. He was also one of six judges accused in 2014 of lacking judicial impartiality and overseeing unjust trials of journalists, lawyers, political activists and members of Iran’s ethnic and religious minorities, the group reported.
“The national security charges leveled against these men were spurious, and their sentences are excessive, amounting to a criminalization of Christian practice,” CSW Chief Operating Officer Scot Bower said in the press statement. “We are calling for the unconditional release of Pastor Nadarkhani, and for his sentence and those of Mr. Omidi, Mr. Mossayebzadeh and Mr. Fadaie to be quashed.”…

Praying for a violent revolution in Iran one day where all the leaders from the Ayatollah as well as all judges are hung in the public square.

Islam is inferior to a ant hill
Because the ants not only allow a Queen,
But gave her wings to go and create new colonies.
Islam is so insecure, and all females so coveted,
That they can only kidnap and rape someone else’s children in order to propagate..

Iran is a laugh
The Iranian Ambassador to the UN finished giving a speech and walked out into the lobby where he was introduced to a United States Marine Corps General.
As they talked, the Iranian said, “I have just one question about what I have seen in America.”
The General said, “Well, is there anything I can do to help?”
The Iranian whispered, “My son watches this show called ‘Star Trek’ and in it there is Kirk who is Canadian, Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is from Scotland, Uhura who is black, and Sulu who is Japanese, but there are NO Muslims. My son is very upset and doesn’t understand why there aren’t any Iranians, Iraqis, Afghans, Egyptians, Palestinians, Saudis, Syrians, or Pakistanis on ‘Star Trek’.
The General leaned toward the Iranian Ambassador and whispered back, “That’s because it takes place in the future…”

I’ve read a version of this where it’s Gene Rodenberry who says the line.

The Iran – Hussein Nuclear deal to the Mullahs, who hate women and Christians, was “so corrupt” we’re still learning about it.

The stupid Leftist FOOL of delusion and deranged do not realize what they are not reporting about is what will happen to them once COMMUNIST or their favored Moslems, Megroes, Mexicans, Migrants and Mongrels take over.
They will be the FIRST to DIE!!
Yet, they wish for the death of their defenders (1st Amendment) of Conservatives who give them the theater in which to operate and the principles to thrive.
Which should be PROOF of which side they should be defending and come to their senses and is PROOF of their DERANGEMENT syndrome in the same vein as SATAN who is completely DERANGED.
Even Yahuah will make the final OFFR to Satan.
OVERWHELMING FORCE and FEROCIOUS RETALIATION!

Some 7 years ago an Iranian muslum told me “Christians are treated better than anyone” in the Iranian Repugnant. He couldn’t have been lying could he?

Pastor Nadarkhani is a Christian convert from Islam who is apparently a very effective witness for Christ. He seems to get arrested and abused more than most. And those who convert from Islam are treated more harshly even than those born into Christian families. He needs our daily prayers. Pastor Nadarkhani has been imprisoned more often than I can remember now. I hope some other Christians here will remember him in their daily prayers, especially now that they intentionally sent him to a prison far from home. They always try to convince Christians that they are forgotten, so a letter to him with a few appropriate verses of Scripture would probably be much appreciated. AND Muslims in the prison system are always shocked to find out that we have genuine love in our faith.

Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians and the Baha’i are probably treated like trash every week in Iran, most of the secret abuse and persecution just doesn’t reach the Western media.

The percentage of non-muslims in the Iranian Repugnant is less that 1% so there’s very few of them for the muslums to persecute.
