While Obama Celebrates, An American Christian Pastor Is Found Guilty in Iran

With all the rights that Americans fight about, you would think this would be all over the news...but hardly a peep.

If he was a college student, a homosexual, a reporter, a politician?

The charge is for helping children, in his opening education facilities, and teaching about Jesus....so, if this was here in America, this would be the government saying you couldn't have a Bible Study....or die.

As a Christian, I realize I have no real rights. Being a Christian means, submitting to the words and will of God, through Jesus Christ my Lord and savior.

When Jesus told His Apostles, before they even were His Apostles, "Follow Me", that was freely becoming a slave to Jesus. To do as He said and follow Him. To any Jew, coming from slavery, that would be one of the last things you would want to go back to...and yet, this is what they did.

Pastor Saeed, has been told to recant his following of Jesus, and call allah his god...or die. He wouldn't.

Now, a 'hanging judge' is sentencing him today, in Iran...and as Obama and His minions celebrate...not a peep of the death coming of an American.

This needs to get out. Call your respresentatives, put this on Facebook. Tweet it, email it.

I shudder to think how many calling themselves Christians, would be able to go through HALF the terror and death and rapes that Islamic terrorists do, to murder countless Christians in the Middle east and Asia.

Pastor Saeed’s Trial: Will Iran Uphold Its Obligations to Protect R...

Today Pastor Saeed Abedini appeared before Judge Pir-Abassi in Branch 26 of the Iranian Revolutionary Courts. The prosecutor charged Pastor Saeed with attempting to undermine the Iranian government by creating a network of Christian house churches. The court presented evidence that dated back to the year 2000, the year Pastor Saeed converted from Islam to Christianity. The regime alleged that Pastor Saeed intentionally sought to sway the minds of Iranian youth by turning the youth toward Christianity and against Islam, the official religion of Iran.

Pastor Saeed is represented by Dr. Naser Sarbazi, a Muslim lawyer in Iran who is dedicated to preserving human rights and upholding the right for all individuals to practice their faith freely. Less than 24 hours before the trial, Dr. Sarbazi was permitted to meet with Pastor Saeed to prepare a defense. Dr. Sarbazi presented a strong defense as to why Pastor Saeed’s Christian activities were not a threat to the national security of Iran. He presented arguments as to how Pastor Saeed’s Christian activities were motivated solely by his faith and without a political agenda. Pastor Saeed’s father was the only family member allowed in the courtroom.

Dr. Sarbazi told Pastor Saeed’s family that today was his only day to present a defense on Saeed’s behalf before the court. However, it is known that several lay church leaders have been summoned to give testimony before the court tomorrow. It is unclear at this point whether the court will continue to question witnesses in the case tomorrow or whether today’s hearing represents the complete trial.

Although we are confident that Dr. Sarbazi presented a strong defense, we recognize that Pastor Saeed’s fate still lies in the hands of the Iranian regime, a regime whose actions remain unpredictable. It is still unclear from the trial what sentence, whether a lengthy prison term or even death, the regime seeks to impose on Pastor Saeed. Judge Pir-Abassi could render his verdict as early as next week, which means there is still time for the leaders of the free world to speak out loudly on Pastor Saeed’s behalf. We know from past cases that strong international support is crucial, but the responsibility to support a U.S. citizen starts with our own government. While we patiently await Pastor Saeed’s verdict there is still time for President Obama and Secretary Clinton to stand publicly with this U.S. citizen.

Do your part today and sign our petition urging the U.S. government to stand publicly with....
