We are so lucky to live in America. Amazing faith these people have, living in China or the Middle East.

How long before Berkely invites the judge to speak on campus?

I thought Christians were people of the Book protected by Islamic Law provided that they paid the extortion money.

When asked to repent, Nadarkhani stated: “Repent means to return. What should I return to? To the blasphemy that I had before my faith in Christ?”
“To the religion of your ancestors, Islam,” the judge replied, according to the American Center for Law & Justice.
“I cannot,” Nadarkhani said.

I thank God I was born an American. I could not imagine myself any other way.

I’m sure the “talks” are in as we speak.

Apparently, according to that rule, he didn’t pay up!

I suppose the Iranian Judge will be awarded a peace prize for this.

Could you imagine being a Christian in such worlds? I’ve always stated, and daily convince myself I would die happily in the Lords name.
However, that has not come to us.....yet. I do believe it is coming. Now or in the near future, but I WILL NOT die without screaming my Lords name. Hopefully, I can convince a few to come along with me.

Generally, yes, but not if you're accused of apostasy from Islam--the penalty for that is death. As the Prophet Muhammad said in a well-accepted hadith, "Whosoever changes his religion, kill him." Of course, this applies only to Muslims, or supposed Muslims, who convert. Converting to Islam is fine and dandy under sharia. It appears that Nadarkhani's persecution may stem from his having had the temerity to protest his kid receiving Islamic religious education at school. Under Iranian law, all schoolchildren must undergo it, whatever their faith.

Sounds like the faith of Paul. Please pray for God’s grace, mercy, strength and peace for this Godly man. I only hope if I were in the same situation, I would do the same for Jesus Christ.

Morris continued: "Will President Obama, and the free world, allow the United Nations to continue in its cowardly silence on this matter?" My guess is YES. Especially Obama.

Exactly why would the Grand Wazir Obambi Grande intercede on behalf of an Infidel? Muslims hate Infidels and have sworn to enslave, convert, or kill them. Barry agrees.

Funny, or not funny. When I saw this article my thought was, “It’ll start in Berkley but it won’t end there.”

That’s if your parents are card carrying (literally) Christians. “Apostasy” is punishable by death according to Sharia.

You would. I believe The Holy Spirit would take over for all Christians and you’d die well.

I pray for this Christian minister and that the Lord will bless him to be released; however, I praise him for his courage and if the unthinkable happens, I am sure the Lord will accept his testimony and take him unto himself. May we all be so obedient to our God that we similarly would knowlingly face death for him when a simple denial would set us free.

If that time ever comes, as you believe it might, you’ll have the 1st Marine Division on your side. Take from that what you will. Your enemy will discover that Marines are not a happy meal.
