Iran’s regime arrests famous Christian convert in Tehran
Jerusalem Post ^ | Jan 18, 2020

Posted on 01/19/2020 9:51:39 PM PST by nuconvert

Iranian authorities last week arrested Fatemeh Mohammadi, a woman who converted to Christianity, and was transported to a secret location.

The Persian-language news agency HRANA first reported on Mohammadi’s arrest.

According to the website Article 18, which seeks to promote religious freedom, “The 21-year-old, who after her conversion now prefers to be known as Mary, was reportedly arrested on Sunday near Azadi Square, where protests were taking place following the Iranian government’s admission of guilt in the downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane.”

Article 18 said, “A number of protesters were reportedly arrested on Sunday evening, as protests took place in several Iranian cities, though it is as yet unclear whether Mary was partaking in any demonstration. There has since been no news of Mary’s safety or whereabouts and her family are said to be very concerned about her.”

(excerpt)

Article 18 wrote, “Mary is a rare example of a Christian activist still living in Iran and she has already spent six months in prison as a result of her Christian activity, which was deemed ‘action against national security’ and ‘propaganda against the system.’”

To think that this beautiful young lady is probably undergoing unspeakable cruelty at the hands of the mullah’s storm troopers is so sad. And no leftist mullah apologist in the western world will speak a word about her. Hopefully PDT will hear of it and speak out. He has a big pulpit.

Her name is Mary! Appeal to Russia’s Putin to save her life and extend the arms of Russian Christians to preserve this brave woman. The Mullahs will not listen to Trump or America, but they might heed the words of Putin. Pray for her and those who follow Christ in that far away land. May God grant his peace—and soften the hearts of the Mullahs who claim to believe in Allah’s Mercy.

What is intriguing is that

1. Islam is decaying in Iran - since the 80s when it was apparent that Islam wasn’t leading to the promised land and in contrast the Ayatollahs and mullahs were corrupt. Mosque attendance is the lowest in the world - on Friday many mosques in Tehran are empty

2. People are moving to Zoroastrianism and looking at Christianity.

3. The recognized and protected Christian denominations like the Armenian, Assyrian and Russian don’t proselytize for fear of authoritatian crack-down

4. but the evangelical and underground groups are gaining more and more - by some rumours over a million converts underground.

The mullah regime will fall. It’s only a matter of time. Young people there are hungry for change. And not the type of change the mindless moronic leftist robots want in the U.S.A. They have had enough of mullahsocialism. And seeing the nations wealth squandered supporting the hezbollah dogs in Lebanon, Gaza losers and the troglydytes in Yemen makes them all the more seething.

Francis will make a statement any day now … to condemn evangelization and conversion.
