Iranian court upholds apostasy conviction and death sentence for convert from Islam to Christianity
International pressure got the hikers freed; theirs was a fashionable cause in the mainstream press and among prominent left-wing figures. Would Hugo Chavez, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Cindy Sheehan, Noam Chomsky, and Sean Penn care to stand up for Yousef Nadarkhani's human rights?
An update on this story. "Christian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani faces potential execution," by Jordan Sekulow for the Washington Post, September 27:
Just days after Iran released two Americans accused of spying, an Iranian court has upheld the apostasy conviction and execution sentence of Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani.The 11th branch of Iran's Gilan Provincial Court has determined that Nadarkhani has Islamic ancestry and therefore must recant his faith in Jesus Christ. Iran's supreme court had previously ruled that the trial court must determine if Youcef had been a Muslim before converting to Christianity.However, the judges, acting like terrorists with a hostage, demanded that he recant his faith in Christ before even taking evidence. The judges stated that even though the judgment they have made is against the current Iranian and international laws, they have to uphold the previous decision of the 27th Branch of the Supreme Court in Qom.
I thought someone said these people were politarian, peaceful and tolerant of other religions?

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I should have known. It was just a matter of time. [B)]
For some brilliance is obvious while the rest will vote for BO again.[8D]
BTW NH when are you converting to christianity? [;)] [8D]
If you are a Muslim and convert to Christianity they cut off a peace of your body, your head, because Islam is peace.
If you do a minor crime they just cut off a smaller peace, your hand.
Again, because Islam is peace.
