Christians free to exercise their religion in Iran? YGBSM. Christians and other have been severely persecuted and most have fled the country. The Christian population is more like 4 tenths of a percent now compared to 1.5% before the "Islamic Revolution." I guess that's why I know so many Iranians that have fled to the US.
Christian services cannot be conducted in Farsi.
Christians must have special ID cards to attend church.
Meetings only on Sunday and no other day.
All new members of a Christian church must be reported to the Ministry of Information and Islamic Guidance.
Cannot sell a Bible in Iran.
Apostasy illegal with severe penalties . . . like death.
Severe penalties for Muslim converts to Christianity . . like death.
Churches are being systematically shut down.
Oh, yea. The theocracy in Iran is a real bastian of freedom and truth. Of course, you probably think that those Brit sailors that were taken hostage, were in Iranian waters too, at least in the second set of coordinates that the Iranians gave when they figured out their first lie was a mistake.
