Pastor Yousef, the Qur’an, and the Enemies of Freedom
Pastor Yousef Nardarkhani sits in a jail in Iran awaiting his death penalty to be carried out. His crime? He is a Christian. The Iranian government believes that Yousef was once Muslim (though he denies it) and became a Christian. The penalty for leaving Islam (to become anything, including an agnostic or atheist) is death.
So, here we sit, waiting to see what happens. Nothing from the White House, though they were quick to condemn the military for burning the Qur’ans. Interestingly enough, it now appears as though the prisoners were using their Qur’ans to post notes to other prisoners. Islamic law maintains that if someone writes in a Qur’an, then it should be burned.
