In 2009, two young Iranian women were sentenced to death by hanging for one reason: they had become Christians, and they refused to deny it.
Marziyeh Amirizadeh and Maryam Rostampour were born into Muslim families in Iran. After converting, they studied theology and returned . Under cover of night, they put New Testaments into mailboxes across Tehran and other cities.
In less than three years they distributed about 20,000 Bibles and helped start secret house churches, mostly among women and young people.
Sharing the Christian faith is treated as a crime in Iran. Converts from Islam are not recognized as Christians. Only people born into recognized Christian minorities, such as Armenians and Assyrians, are officially allowed to practice.
Someone reported them. In March 2009 the IRGC arrested them. Officers asked if they were Christians. They said yes. Bibles were found in their apartment. They were charged with apostasy and promoting Christianity, and a judge sentenced them to death by hanging unless they returned to Islam.
They spent 259 days in Evin Prison in Tehran, a place known for torture and executions. They were interrogated for hours, threatened with hanging, and held in brutal conditions. They say they kept sharing their faith with other prisoners.
They did not know that Christians outside Iran had started a campaign for their release. Amnesty International and church groups pressed the case.
Pope Benedict XVI sent a letter to the Iranian government calling for them to
be freed. After nine months, the regime released them. They later left Iran.
Their account is told in the book
‘Captive in Iran’.
The poster is right about the 20,000 Bibles and the death sentence. It leaves out that there were two of them, and that they survived. The regime tried to silence them. It failed.
Iran still jails Christian converts for house-church meetings, prayer, baptism, and possessing Bibles, often under "national security" charges.
The law has not changed.

Vote for @MikeRogersForMI to save Michigan! El-Sayed is an anti-American radical lying Muslim!
Some political races are more important than others!
Abdul El-Sayed winning is the first step to us becoming like France.
His only qualification is that he is a radical Muslim running in a state that elects Democrats for statewide office.
Vote Mike Rogers on November 3. Comments?

In the indictment they quote her as saying, "This is our last chance at generational wealth. I’ve gotten too old to not be greedy."
Have fun explaining that recording to a jury. 😳

Both El Sayed and Mamdani are evil men that practice "Taqiyya" (a concept in Islam that says it is okay to lie, deceive, or conceal their true beliefs if it serves a higher purpose) as part of their radical Muslim faith. Vote Mike Rogers!

James Talarico is a groomer who pushes a sexual agenda on kids.
Anyone who doesn't vote for Ken Paxton and lets this radical leftist become a Texas senator is NOT a conservative.

Think about these things that came out of Talarico’s own mouth before you vote if you haven’t already, Texas.
Ask yourself, is he a good fit for Texas? Is this who you want representing Texas as Senator?
If you listen to these eight things alone , that should tell you he ues.
They are quite something. SMH 🤦♀️ You decide.

How do you call yourself Christian and ignore the genocide of Christians in Nigeria for 25 years since it began on the same day as 9/11? A quarter of a century has passed, over a hundred thousand innocent men, women & children murdered and churches have done very little. The Pope/Vatican are a disgrace.

Muslims are killing Christians in African countries like Nigeria, as we sleep comfortably in our beds.
These same Muslims are sending their most charismatic operatives, like Mamdani and El-Sayed, to infiltrate America.
@TheDemocrats @DNC @DemSocialists are mum on this issue … ude that they support what the Muslims are doing to Christians.
There are no “pro-African Christian” or “Stop the Genocide of African Christian” riots going on in our universities or on our streets by ANTIFA or the left … because they don’t really care!
They are all atheists who are helping Muslims, thinking that the Muslims will take care of their problems. When the reality is … the Muslims are just playing them too.
Currently … More than 3,000 members of Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo’s church have been killed. And he has already conducted over 200 mass burials for his congregation.
This year alone, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Gazans in 3 years of war. But no one seems to care, and the media remains silent.
It’s all by design!
The above is my 1st Amendment right to state … while we still have the right to our opinions.
