Iran Proposes Execution of Christians

What Would They Do to Jesus? by Bill Levinson

Parliament debates execution for Iranian Christians Iranian converts to Christianity may soon face legal execution.

According to Compass Direct News, two middle-aged Iranian Christians have been released from prison, after being in jail for apostasy since May 15. Parliament has already passed a bill calling for execution on the basis of apostasy, but it will be debated again in the Legislative Commission before Parliament votes on it again at the next session.

Abe Ghaffari of Iranian Christians International says the death penalty has only been one of several options for punishment — until now. “The death penalty will become an automatic and mandatory thing for the apostates,” he explains. “Anyone who abandons Islam will be executed.”

Iranians Turn “Massively” To Christianity, Despite Execution Threats

Iran’s theocratic regime strictly forbids “the proselytizing” of Muslims and targets any citizens believed to have abandoned Islam, human rights watchers say. Under Iran’s strict interpretation of Islamic law, anyone who leaves Islam for another religion has committed a capital offense and could be executed.

Iran Arrests 12 Christian Converts

“In many cases, some (Iranian Christians) just disappear,” Moeller says, according to OneNewsNow. “And of course we assume, and evidence in the past has indicated, that these people are either killed outright or die during torture.”

The good news is that we set aside $20 million dollars to relocate some of the “religion of peace” types to be on perma-welfare from the US taxpayer.

“If death is peaceful, then yes, this is a religion of peace.”

It would be peaceful if those damned infidels would just sit quietly while islam’s peace warriors remove their heads. They need to stop that annoying primal screaming.

Far more accurate, however, to just say “It’s a religion of death”.

This won’t play well in the areas outside of the cities. They are the red to the Iranian cities’ deep blue.

Tyrannies lose sight of not only the needs and wants of the people, but their capabilities.

Don’t worry about this folks. Obama thinks Iran is reasoned enough to negotiate with. So he’ll take care of this. /s

Islam is soooooo prepped to serve the Antichrist when he comes.

And I think the al-Mahdi they are looking to soon appear will be him.
