Judolisco: iran has been shouting about muslim persecution in burma now they are keeping someone in jail for what dis is simply not acceptable islam is nt a religion they ar terrorist

Funjay:

You obviously didnt read the report well and u have not been following the story.

This guys is Iranian American. Born and bred in Iran but converted to Islam later in his life. Met an American citizen who was on a working visit to Iran, they fell in love and he married her. He became an American citizen by marriage but still visits his family regularly in Iran. Whenever he visits Iran, he does not hide his faith involving regularly in evangelism and charity works, it should be noted that the house fellowship/eveangelism he was involved in then was not a threat until receddntly.
He was arrested the last time he was in Iran and has been detained since and his wife threatened not to come to visit him in Iran or risk been arrested.

LagosShia: What does a christian living in america (even though iranian american) have to do with going all the way to iran on a mission he knows is illegal? Missionary work in iran is illegal.many of these evangelical pastors have been exposed of bribing the poor iranian youths especially with promise of US visa/citizenship upon converting to christianity.the iranian system of governance is built upon Islam.attempting to preach is viewed as a treasonable offense because it works against the regime or the system of things.this is viewed with high suspicion as part of america's war on iran for regime change.at a point in america being a communist is against the law and a criminal offense.likewise,even in nigeria you can't preach communism or advocate beliefs contrary to the system.you can't aim at regime change and think you'd be taken lightly.

People should know this incident is more political.it has nothing to do with Islam Vs Christianity or Muslims Vs Christians.indigenous iranian christians who have existed centuries in iran are given their place and due rights to survive as a community,without been offended in terms of existence.

Area_boy: ok oh!!
U must be a local fool to have say such a thing
That law in Iran has been there since forever. Why did he break the law? He flew all the way from America to Iran to break their well established law. Are there no more Americans that need to hear the "word"

People dip their hands in fire and cry fowl.. abeg

saxywale: Naija pastors especially the jet riding ones need to relocate to Iran and show them what aggressive gospel is all about.

Paris_Love: When it suits you quote 'there's no compulsion in religion and when it doesn't it flies out of window.

meetgaya:
God's law is supreme above iran's law. God ordered him preached to the whole world including iran that has dead religion. he has break any law he only obeyed God's word. he is being persecuted for Christ's sake.

But I did not read that he was charged for being a Christian. He was charged for preaching- this guy knew the rules before breaking them. You do the crime, you do the time. Polygamy is illegal in America, that limits the religious freedom of some Muslims living there.

Oya, start comparing and contrasting.

Warning: No fighting or insults.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Bakare19: I read this stuff on cnn blog yesterday,did'nt see any comments pointing to Islam...Seriously,the line of reasoning of people here is shallow

maclatunji:

Tell me about it. Many people here come from places where mosques are called "Hausa Church". Their exposure and knowledge base about Islam is pitiable. That is what is evident here and elsewhere on Nairaland.
