Yousef Naderkhani: Christian Pastor

Hoping appeals court reverses death sentence

AP: The lawyer of an Iranian pastor sentenced to death for apostasy is hopeful an appeals court will acquit his client. Attorney Mohammad Ali Dadkhah says he believes in a "95 percent chance" of acquittal for 32-year-old Yousef Naderkhani. Naderkhani turned to Christianity when he was 19 and later became a pastor in the northern Iranian city of Rasht. He was convicted of apostasy in 2010 and remains in prison in Rasht >>>

Here is an issue that is of interest to Iranian Americans.

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

The treatment of christians in Iran, like Naderkhani who faces execution is a clear issue of interest to Iranian Americans.

Where is the NIAC on this obvious issue of interest for us?  The govt of iran needs to be asked to change course and if it does not then the IRI actions must be condemned by the NIAC.  Yet again it's time for NIAC and it's supporters/defenders who don't question its allegiances to prove their credibility. If the NIAC finally acts appropriately on this important issue, many people will only feel that the NAC was only incompetent by not addressing this issue for Iranian Americans until a late stage, which is better than if they fail to act as it will yet again give evidence to Iranians who the NIAC is working for instead of those they say they represent.

If this pastor is murdered

by Simorgh5555 on

If this pastor is murdered then the IR Terrorists would not only make an enemy out of the Zionists but also with Christian movements across the world including the Evangelical Right who will stop at nothing to pressure the US government to remove this evil regime occupying Iran. 

It will also be an egg on the face of Trita Parsi who will have great difficulty arguing why Americans shouldn't launch airstrikes on the Revolutionary Guard. NIAC has not released a single statement condemning the imminent execution of Nader Khani as it looks likes they are in a sticky situation as how not to piss of Americans and keep their benefactors in Iran happy at the same time. Check NIAC fo yourself:

If Naderkhani is executed Muslims will not be allowed to use their sob story to condemn the establishment of the mosque in Ground Zero or the burning of the Koran.  

Finally, the murder of Naderkhani will tighten the resolve to do destroy the Islamic Republic once and for all.  

Death to the Islamic Republic. Condemn it. Fight it. Destroy it.

Please support military action

We need to condemn all capital punishment in Iran...

whether it is for one's choice of faith or one's political affiliation.

 Capital punishment is State sponsored murder and MUST stop in Iran and else where.

'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory

Evil is Evil  ..... and there has always been one devil who just changes title....   

Think of it as an Energy .. A very dark and negavtive and devilish energy 

 What does the law of conservation of energy in physics say? . ... it can be transformed from one form to another but not destroyed .. 

By the way , the term dark ages was given to Christianity as the comparison to the Islamic golden age that captured Spain before then. 

now it is Islam that is experiencing the dark ages ... I guess it should be compared only to its own golden age back then .....  and then see how they have lost it ... BIG TIME ... and all thanks to IRI... and the rest of the so called Islamic country like SA.

Are you claiming that the Spanish inquisition was an islamic one in nature cloaked as christian?  Given their level of violence I am sure one can easily label the [Medieval] Spanish as having been islamic due to their violent deeds. However we have to bear in mind that the Iranian regime is an islamic regime, not a christian one.  One can compare Iranians to Saudis, Pakis, and other muslims, who adhere to islamic values. True islam requires total submission.  Freedom and submission are diametrically opposite in concept and in practice. :-)

Her name at 0:33 reads:

That's what the tribal elders told her before she left for the British Isles!

Islamist barbarity

by Fred on

The only way out of this Islamist barbarity is the imposition of airtight sanctions on the Islamist Rapist Republic and at the same time materially helping the Iranians to overthrow their Islamist Rapist tyrants “reformist” and all.
