Iran: New discovery will collapse Christianity

Iran's Basij Press is claiming that a 5th or 6th century version of the Gospel of Barnabas, found in 2000, predicted the coming of the Prophet Muhammad and will prove that Islam is the final and righteous religion. 

In Tehran, they're expecting the revelation to cause the worldwide collapse of Christianity.

Terry Jones Agrees to Postpone or Cancel Koran Burning

According to an official press release from Terry Jones' office, today at 8:45am ET, General John R. Allen, Commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) called Dr Terry Jones.  General Allen expressed his fear of retaliation against the US Military in Afghanistan if Jones was to carry on with plans for April 28th.



Dr Terry Jones responded with his larger concerns for the situation in Islamic countries such as Egypt and Iran where Christians are being killed on a regular basis, houses and churches are burned, girls are kidnapped, raped and forced into Islam.


“I am sure you are as aware as I am of the horrors of the religion,” said Dr Jones, “but Islam is killing people.” He pointed out that the military personnel willingly enlisted, are trained, armed and well funded. People like Pastor Youcef did not volunteer, are not armed, have no budget and no one to fight for them.


“By no means do we take this situation lightly. We are just as Christians, as human beings very desperate for some kind of relief for those people who die on a daily basis at the hands of radical Islam.”


Dr Jones stated that he would be willing to cancel or postpone the April 28th event if concrete steps could be made to bring change to the situation concerning human rights and freedom of religion in Islamic States.

Iranian Christian to be executed for being a 'Zionist'

The international community was furious when it learned that Iran was going to execute a young man for converting to Christianity and wanting to start a church. So Iran on Sunday altered the charges and said it is instead going to execute Youcef Nadarkhani because, among other things, he loves Israel.

Nadarkhani was arrested and convicted in 2010. Legal documents obtained by CNN accused Nadarkhani of "turning his back on Islam, the greatest religion..."

In Iran, the punishment for apostacy is death.

But with pressure mounting for Iran to cease its brutal repression of religious freedom, Gholomali Rezvani, the deputy governor of Nadarkhani's home province, announced that the charges had been changed.

"His crime is not, as some claim, converting others to Christianity. He is guilty of security-related crimes," Rezvani told the Fars news agency.

And what kind of security-related crimes had Nadarkhani committed? He "is a Zionist," declared Rezvani. And just in case, Nadarkhani also had charges of rape and extortion tacked on to his rap sheet. Both CNN and Fox News later pointed out that the original 2010 court ruling did not contain one mention of rape or extortion.
