Thanks, gentlemen, we should remember Muslim Persecution of Christians: December 2012, even if liberals of whatever or no religious persuasion don't.

You're right Chris , because we are soo politically correct. Well the powers that be are politically correct leftist pacifist .... I can go on and on, so can everyone else. God bless our fellow pastors leaders and teachers abroad and at home who are being persecuted for standing up for Jesus. May we learn from their examples of faith because its coming here soon too.

Whenever the US supposedly mistreats a prisoner, all hell breaks loose. The Liberals amd the ACLU cry foul and countries riot against US embassies. Whenever one of our own, or someone is being persecuted, abused abroad, they get a paragraph on page 17 and life goes on.

I believe this is the pastor's suffering in Iran that SermonAudio has been following. It is a shame, that our country can't do something to Iran to make them free him. Unfortunately, many Christians in Iran are made to suffer, Threat of Prosecution Remains for Some Freed Christians. This is how Islam operates, "If They [Muslims] Had Gotten Rid of the Punishment for Apostasy, Islam Would Not Exist Today" :: Gatestone Institute.
