Iran sends jailed US pastor to ‘hanging judge’

More from another soource:

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which focuses on constitutional and human rights law, announced Thursday that American Pastor Saeed Abedini, a U.S. citizen being held in an Iranian prison because of his Christian faith, has told his family that he is being threatened with death.

The letter, released Thursday to family members in Iran, comes just days after the ACLJ learned that his case has now been turned over to an Iranian “hanging judge.”

“The life of Pastor Saeed is in grave danger,” said Jordan Sekulow, executive director of the ACLJ. “When you read Pastor Saeed’s own words, you understand that Iran has absolutely no regard for human rights and religious freedom. And now facing one of Iran’s most notorious judges, Pastor Saeed is in a real sense an American abandoned in Iran.

“The U.S. State Department has done very little to help this U.S. citizen. We continue to press the Obama administration to engage this case—to speak out forcefully on Pastor Saeed’s behalf and put pressure on Iran’s allies to free this American. Time is of the essence.”

In a letter released to family members in Tehran Friday, Pastor Saeed underscores the danger he faces daily:

“This is the process in my life today: one day I am told I will be freed and allowed to see my family and kids on Christmas (which was a lie) and the next day I am told I will hang for my faith in Jesus. One day there are intense pains after beatings in interrogations, the next day they are nice to you and offer you candy,” Pastor Saeed wrote.

If they send an actual pastor to a hanging judge,
A pastor not guilty of hurting little kids or anything,
then there must exist a special kind of evil in them.
They must have some huge fire pits with their
names in neon lights,complete with demonic fanfare
awaiting them below!

Do you send your prayers to the kids slaughtered by drone attacks?

Because they are probably needing some prayer right now.

Sounds like they're in the process of brainwashing him. Poor guy. I wish I could send him a message. I'd tell him to keep his mouth shut. It's the only thing that will keep him sane. They will brainwash him in the end if he doesn't.

we can not let this happen

Like our hands our clean...
How many civilians have we murdered over there in the name of democracy.
Perhaps we should offer them a deal where he serves out his sentence at Guantanamo.

Savage Muslims are disgusting. They won't stop till every American/Christian/Jew/Westerner/Non-Muslim is dead.

Unfortunately our president is sympathetic towards them.

Stars thanks and praying for all our Front Lines for the Kingdom

Done

I had just prayed for GLP and this kind of thing, thanks OP

Persecuted Christians Have New Allies: World Watch Monitor and Morning Star News

knew you would support this one

I agree with you. We must kill them before they kill us.

They don't want peace. They only want to see us dead.

The non-denominational Christian relief organization Open Doors has said about 100 million Christians face persecution around the world. The group pointed to an increase in persecution in Africa and the Arab world.

100 mil I am glad we get to post here and sometimes we get name called and red Karma and we all have a purpose , but these people on front lines

preaching Jesus in their country? it's against their laws isn't it? he should have known better and it's out of our hands. he's going to pay the consequences.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, OP. I will pray for this pastor, that his fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, whether they be in power or not, come to his aid in this fight for his life.

I caution everyone here not to jump to conclusions with this story, with the level of attention it has received in the media, Iran is most likely carefully weighing the consequences of it's actions with regards to this case. Please pray that justice will prevail, and that those who are innocent be set free.

When you give your life to Christ, you submit to God's will and, yes, sometimes that means persecution. It's not about 'knowing better.' It's about choosing the will of God in spite of the danger and the consequences in this life. It may be out of our hands, but we have the power of prayer. And nothing is too great for the Lord to overcome.

I'm sure Obama will tell Hillary to order some State Dept. flunky to write a strongly worded letter to the NYT decrying this Muslimity.

Hey! I've got an idea. Why don't you list all your answered prayers, Lisa Lisa?

I have a better plan. Actually, it's Ann Coulter's plan:

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

Jesus is a central figure in the Islamic faith, they preach a lot regarding Jesus and all the characters from the Old Testament.

waah! those muslims won't let us go to their country and try to convert them! poor, poor persecuted christians we only wanted religious freedom for them!

and an absolute disregard toward people who tell you to shut the fuck up, or don't go preaching your religion in their country because they don't want it.

There's nothing you can do about it. America set the precedent at Gitmo Bay for the rest of the world to follow.

Say a prayer instead, for the innocent women & children bombed by drone attacks.

Then you might get some sympathy.

Coming from a country that also has the death penalty...

If he'd be a muslim by the same name, no one would care.
