According to confirmed reports from inside of Iran, 14 ex-muslims who converted to christianity were arrested a week ago in cities of Karaj, Tehran and Rasht.This would be an excellent time for all civilized persons, including moderate Muslims, to express their outrage at this barbaric act of the Iranian government.Reports from US backed RadioFarda.com tell us that these new christians were trying to hold religious gathering to celebrate christmas and they are charged with converting from Islam to christianity and according the sharia law, the penalty for such act is death.
Their bibles, religious books & symbols, CDs and other personal stuff were seized by the authorities.
The families of these detainees staged a rally in front of the judicial ministry but their peaceful gathering was met with brutal actions of the ministry of intelligence agents.
The name of the christian detainees are:
In city of Rasht: Shaheen Taghizadeh, Yosef Noorkhani, Mathias Hagh-Nejad, Parviz Khalaj, Muhammad Belyad, Peyman Salarvand, Sohrab Sayadi, Mr. Davood and Mr. Amin.
City of Tehran: Mrs. Shirin Sadegh, Mr. Behrooz Sadegh, Mr. Hamid-Reza Tolou'ee
City of Karaj: Mr. Behnam Irani & Mr. Bahman Irani (brothers)
The families of these above mentioned detainees ask all people from all around the world to raise their concern with their governments and help secure the release of their loved ones from the jails of the Islamic regime of Iran.
Via Stop the ACLU.

"I'd would like to know what Mo, or Mohamed Gure think of that. I hope neither would try to justify it."
I am waiting to hear either of these two, who posted earlier on the 'child abuse' thread, say they comdemn this action on the part of the Iranian government. Unqualified condemnation. No 'yes-but' type responses.
I will extend the invitation to any Muslim reading this article! Say you condemn the actions of the Iranian government, as described above. Say it without the 'yes-but' qualifier. Can any of you do it? Any of you?
I want to see the humane, unbiased, tolerant, religion of peace you are all so busy telling us about.
This article is all about why I would rather fight till my dying breath, than ever see Sharia law take root in the USA. If there are no Muslims out there to condemn this, I'm ashamed for ever standing up for those of you who claim to be 'moderate'.
That's all I'm going to say here. Now let's watch, and see who responds.
USA all the way!
