رشد مسیحیت در ایران: کلیساهای خانگی و آزادی مذهبی

Did you know that Christianity is the fastest-growing religion in occupied Iran?

You heard that correctly. Iran, the country that has been occupied by the most brutal Islamic dictatorship for the last 47 years, the country where the Islamic dictatorship claims that Iranians are 99.9% Muslim, it's actually not a Muslim country.

In fact, recent studies show that less than 30% of Iranians identify as Muslim.

By the way, that study was taken about four or five years ago, so you can imagine the number of people who actually identify as Muslims is even less.

I would say it's probably less than 20%.

But don't take my word for it. Here's what the Islamic regime itself had to say about Islam in Iran just two years ago.

"Senior cleric claims religion in Iran weak, 50,000 mosques closed."

50,000 mosques of the 75,000 mosques in Iran have been shut down due to lack of attendance.

Iran before 1979, under the Shah and the Shahbanou, was also a bastion of religious freedom.

Muslims, Jews, Christians, Baha'is, Zoroastrians, agnostic, any and all religions lived freely in Iran and were able to openly practice their religion without fear of persecution.

All of that changed when the Islamic regime took over Iran in 1979 and imposed Islamic Sharia law on the country.

Despite every effort by the Islamic dictatorship to force Iranians to be Muslim, Christianity is exploding in Iran.

In fact, occupied Iran has one of the fastest-growing Christian populations in the world.

It's not happening in cathedrals. It's not happening out in the streets.

It's happening quietly behind closed doors, in underground churches, in secret gatherings in people's homes.

Christians in Iran are literally being jailed because if they speak about Christianity or if they attend Christian churches, the Islamic dictatorship sees that as a sign of national security threat.

Even though the terrorist Islamic dictatorship occupying Iran has been cracking down on Christian converts in occupied Iran in order to scare Iranians into remaining Muslim, it's not working.

There's a lot more to say about religion in Iran and what's actually happening and what information you're not getting from the mainstream media.

But for now, I just wanted to wish all Christians around the world, and especially Christians in Iran who are literally risking their lives just by practicing their faith, I want to wish all of you a very merry Christmas.
