Those against capital punishment apparently only care about cop killers, not Christians.

Where are the opponents of Capital Punishment now? If anyone is an innocent victim of injustice, this man is.

Why are not churces worldwide shaming the UN to shame Iran? CAIR would do more for their ilk than Christians would.

Coming to a Zero sharya neighborhood near you soon. This is a precedent supported by Zero to start this “worldwide”.

And to think Columbia University invited Anutjob, gave him a forum and promoted his ‘talks’.

These pleas may or may not work. But we should all have faith that God has a plan for Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani. He seems at peace with his fate. A peace that comes from knowing Christ. Let’s not get caught up in demanding his release. Admire this true hero.

Islam is a disease on the world. I have a good sword. Time for the ninth crusade.

Demand his release. But, if he is martyred, go out in the world and remind the liberals, especially the liberal “Christians” who believe that Christianity and Islam are equal, that this is the difference between the two.

I know several of these people who believe in a form of univeralism where everyone gets to go to heaven for just believing in something. They make me sick when they sit in my church and proseltyze over the “beauty” of islam. Even when you remind them of John 14:6, they dismiss it and say that “it can’t be ONLY way”. Yes, they call Christ a liar and still profess to be Christian. They’ll ignore this man’s martydom, if it comes to that, and then cry over some alleged claim of “islamophobia” or they’ll even equate his execution to some name-calling event or maybe they’ll remind us of the Crusades. Disgusting.

Go to the article which provides an e-mail form you can use to send Iran a mesage to let this guy live in peace.

Is islam so delicate a faith that it cannot stand on its own truth? Is islam so weak that it is easily topppled by the free-will thoughts of a simple amn or woman? Say it ain't so.

Agreed. I didn't mean to say we shouldn't demand his release. I meant that we need to remember the big picture. God's plan involves martyrdom. Early Christians embraced it. This man's acts are truly heroic. He likely will be killed because he will not renounce his faith. And he seems at peace with that. He reminds us that death is not an end.

He also reminds us that, as you say, Western Christianity has become a soft, feel-good religion. We don't want to believe that the nice man across the street won't go to Heaven. We don't want to believe that our wayward brother or sister who lives a life of sin will burn in Hell. We stop thinking that Christ is the way and become unmoored and start believing everyone will go to Heaven, or that God will give us a car if we pray for it, or that God doesn't judge.

I went to the e-mail and it turned my stomach. This beautiful man is suffering and about to die. I’m not going to address some a@@hole as his ‘excellency’ and pretend I’m not a Christian. Do you really think this bloodthirsty Islam monkey cares about what I think?

I will pray quietly for him, thank you.

Iranian Pastor Faces Execution for Refusing to Recant Christian Faith

I wish this info had been out earlier and LOUDER.

Signing online petitions is such tricky business. Send the email through this organization and next thing you know, you’re on their mailing list, their associates’ mailing lists, and so on.

I’d be happy to write a letter or email directly to the Ambassador. Will look it up at their website. Or maybe sign the petition as Bill Maher or Michael Moore.

I will add Pastor Nadarkhani to my prayer list,

"Where are the opponents of Capital Punishment now?"

Good question.
