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 headline should say “execution of converts to Christianity”
Still, we’re talking about a bunch of throwback, savage, barbarian, uncivilized, subhuman brutes who expand their death cult by murder, bombings, intimidation, harassment, torture and rape.

A pattern of 10kT weapons would be more effective and raise less dust.

This is no aberrational decision by a fanatical regime. Islam calls for this. Let’s not hold our breath waiting for the media to let that simple fact get out.

Islam does not allow for peace with the Infidel domestically or internationally. If it means wiping out the majority of the world’s population if we do not submit to Islam, that is a God’s Good Work in their eyes. Period.
