TEHRAN, Iran — More than 100 reformists, including the brother of former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami, were arrested Saturday night, leading reformist Mohammad Ali Abtahi told Reuters.

"They were taken from their homes last night," former vice president Abtahi said.Authorities released the former president's brother, Mohammad Reza Khatami, on Sunday, his wife said. She said at least two other top leaders of Iran's largest reformist party, including the party's secretary-general, were also released early Sunday, but that others remained in custody.

Additional arrests were expected.

Iranian officials, however, disputed the claims and said the reformists were merely summoned and "warned not to increase tension." (snip)

“The Demoncrats should observe Iran about how to really steal an election.”

Democratic politicians are unprincipled and venal enough as it is. Don’t give them any ideas.

The Bible says that Satan is the god of this world.

For now.

Democrats and all the ungodly are under Satan's control.

Did you ever wonder why things in this world are so crazy, evil, and terrible?

The answer is Satan has his day. But, Christ will defeat Satan.......someday.

He has - by Christ's sacrifice and death. But, the bible describes Satan as the god of this world, and its prince. The demonic world boasts of his control, and every time you read the headlines, we know Satan holds the puppet strings.

God is sovereign, but until Christ casts the deceiver into the lake of fire, he is still here.
