Iran - Persecuting Christians

Saudi Arabia is not the only country doing it.

The Constitution of Iran declares the official religion as Islam, so all laws and regulations must be consistent with the official interpretation of the Shari'a (Islamic law). Religious freedom is totally restricted by the government.

According to an Iranian source obtained by the Compass Direct, the recent massive crackdown on Christian converts was coordinated by the representatives of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).

The Compass Direct reported that some Christian leaders were visited by MOIS after Tori’s killing and ware being warned, "The government knows what you are doing, and we will come for you soon."

An Iranian source told the Compass Direct, the new Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has openly declared his opposition to house church movement and Christianity during a meeting with the nation's 30 provincial governors.

Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying, "I will stop Christianity in this country."


Remember how we are told that it's Islamic militants that have hijacked the peaceful and tolerant religion of Islam? Are the people saying this, saying that Ahmadinejad is a militant? If so, are they ok with him getting nukes?
