hanged for being a christian in iran

[jverne]

Eighteen years ago, Rashin Soodmand's father was hanged in Iran for converting to Christianity. Now her brother is in a Mashad jail, and expects to be executed under new religious laws brought in this summer. Alasdair Palmer reports.

no wonder Iran rarely gets criticized...they are so batshit insane nobody even bothers pointing out the obvious...lol


oh yeah...by iran i mean their government and all those who support such laws.

The news is old, and the entire fact that they're batshit insane is old.

New religious laws? What?

 

[Slime]

Laws tend to be of the religious kind when dealing with a theocracy, yeah.

But six months later, the police came back and took her father away again. This time, they offered him a choice: he could denounce his Christian faith, and the church in which he was a pastor – or he would be killed. "Of course, my father refused to give up his faith," Rashid recalls proudly. "He could not renounce his God. His belief in Christ was his life – it was his deepest conviction." So two weeks later, Hossein Soodmand was taken by guards to the prison gallows and hanged.

Bad decision.

Wouldn't God forgive you if you verbally rejected Christianity to save your life?

you can pretty much eat babies and still go to heaven ..so long as you recant your sins before death you're good to go


also i read the thread title as " hanged for being a christian" and thought to myself "about time" ..but then I saw it was in iran and thought perhaps it wasnt such a good thing

Yeah, but the other options is so classy. Oldschool roman type of thing.

You could even pretend one of the Iranians was Nero!

LOLOLOL! Awesome. Exceptionally funny. But yeah, the whole Iran part of this makes it quite a good deal less appetizing.

Man though, what if Christian countries started hanging folks for being Muslim?? This world would be in a much different state. A sadder state methinks, but a different one nonetheless.

I was secretly hoping the real thread title was:

"Bush hanged for being a christian"


ya I know wishful thinking

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Are you sure its just the Telegraph?

 

[PvtRyan]

I read it like:
"Hung like a Christian."

How big is that?

*stretches arms all the way to the side*

?
