Iran is a Sharia state. Yet in the West, if anyone dares say Sharia is incompatible in numerous particulars with Western pluralism, he will be vilified, ostracized, and marginalized.
“‘Simply being a Christian is enough to get you arrested’ in Iran: British government report,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Fox News, October 31, 2022:
A shocking new report from the British government details that the violent persecution of the Christian minority population continues unabated in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“Simply being a Christian is enough to get you arrested” in the Muslim-majority country, noted the United Kingdom’s study on Christians and Christian converts in Iran. The report said that “many arrests reportedly took place during police raids on religious gatherings” and that “Christians, particularly evangelicals and converts from Islam, continued to experience disproportionate levels of arrest and detention.”
Late last month, the United Kingdom published its study detailing the severe mistreatment of Iranian Christians, who compose between 500,000 and 800,000 people of an estimated total population of 86.7 million in 2022. The number of Iranian Christians may exceed 1 million, based on other estimates, noted the study.
According to the report, 99.6% of Iran’s population identifies as Muslim, with Iran classififying [sic] Twelver Ja’afari Shia Islam as its state religion.
When asked what the U.S. and other world powers can do regarding the crackdown on Iranian Christians, Mansour Borji, an Iranian Christian who is the director of the religious freedom NGO Article 18, wrote in an email to Fox News Digital: “We believe the world leaders can play a positive role in helping the persecuted faith communities and end the religious apartheid in Iran. One of the effective measures that Western governments can take to help is sanctions targeting Iranian oligarchs and their families that are close to the regime, living abroad, by blocking their assets, imposing travel bans against them.”…
According to the U.S. State Department spokesperson, “Since 1999, the United States has designated Iran annually as a Country of Particular Concern for engaging in or tolerating ‘particularly severe violations of religious freedom.’ The designation is based on information from all relevant sources, including the annual International Religious Freedom Report.”…

Somehistory,
Being Christian was always a crime in sharia paradises of islam. But they allowed them to be fleeced by other means such as, zakat, taking infidel women, infidel properties etc. It looks like the idea was to percolate the islamic concept of war and subjugation down to the last man.
Now, they have gone to the basics that Christians don’t deserve to live peacefully, reminding the Islamists once again that all forms of jihad and genocide is just as fine. This also proves that islam is paranoid of infidels, especially Christians. This probably opens another chapter of Iranian politics of its desire to be more like Afghanistan. The world is in a deep slumber despite all this.

Islamic Republic of Iran: ‘Simply being a Christian is enough to get you arrested’

Grimly true. That Biden is playing footsie with the Mullahs is appalling.

Hopefully not much longer… if regime figures are trying to flee the country, they know that it’s about to collapse
Walter Sieruk says
Of course, in that Islamic tyranny of Iran simply being a Christian is enough to get a person killed.
Therefore, concerning the subject of the persecution regarding the harassment and imprisonment and even torture of Christians of Iran further exposes the intolerant brutal and murderous “mullah regime “ of Iran
First, it would be naive not to understand those mullahs and ayatollahs didn’t have a hand in having their stooges, who are Islamic state police, the Revolutionary Guard s arrest so many Christians because those in power in the Islamic tyranny are ruthless and cruel.
Second, this is further proof that Islam is such a weak and fragile religion that the arrest of those few Christians was felt necessary by the ayatollah, mullah and imams of Iran. For those Muslim clerics are afraid that if the Iranian people even have a chance to examine and thus compare and contrast the Bible and the Quran the people of Iran might discover that the Bible of the super of those two books.
Since the foundation for the tyrannical regime of the Islamic “Republic” of Iran is based on the Quran, which is also the entire foundation for of Islam, the Muslim clerics fear that their power base might collapse. So, the arrests and sentencing to death of Christians reveals extreme fear those Muslim clerics have of the Bible, For this also show that those Muslim clerics in power in that “mullahs regime” of Iran will use. the Islamic state police and their tools to stop Christians and keep the Iranian people in in ignorance of the Bible and in the darkness of Islam.
Third, those mullahs and ayatollahs and imams of Iran with their falsehoods and deceptions of the many false doctrines of Islam in which they brainwash the Iranian people in believing is something that is both sad and tragic. Those ayatollahs and mullahs are, no doubt, just as deluded as the people who they thoroughly indoctrinate with false teachings of Islam. Of such demonic deception by false teachers who are also deluded such men a have been predicted in the Bible. For in the Bible it’s written that “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.” Second Timothy 3:13. [K.J.V.]
All those mullahs and ayatollahs are, according to the doctrines of the Bible, Isaiah 8:20. false religious teachers. Meaning false teachers who teach and indoctrinate the false doctrines of the false religion of Islam into the hearts and minds of others . Such false teachers are described in the Bible ,in Second Peter 2:1. “There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
In addition, it should be made clear that in the context and meaning of the above Bible verse Second Peter 2:1. The word “destruction” does not mean “loss of being but loss of well-being ,as the destruction of well- being . That is “going to ruin” by ending up and a terrible place of awful suffering which the Bible call hell, Luke 16:19-31.
