SNIPPET: ""Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him" -- Muhammad"

SNIPPET: "An Iranian Muslim extremists group identifying themselves as “Hezbollah” sent a letter to three Iranian pastors with a Muslim background threatening them to return to Islam or else risk being murdered.

The radical group calls itself “The Hezbollah Party, Army of the World’s Imam” and accused the pastors of being spies for foreign powers, according to Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN). The extremists demanded the Iranian pastors denounce their faith in Christ and return to Islam.

In the letter delivered to the Iranian pastors on March 11, the group said they are “aware of all anti-Islamic activities” that the men were doing in the churches in Athens and other places.

“And we know that you with some other agents of espionage organizations in the disguise of European and American pastors are deceiving the Muslims, that unfortunately are escaping and going adrift from Iran and Afghanistan and other Arabic countries and changing their religion and their faith, converting them like this into the false Christianity,” the letter read, according to FCNN, which received a copy of the letter from the Farsi-speaking Christian Church in Athens and translated it to English.

Although the three Iranian pastors live and serve in Athens, the Iranian extremists threatened them and their families with death."

Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57:
Narrated ‘Ikrima:

Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to ‘Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn ‘Abbas who said, “If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Apostle forbade it, saying, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire).’ I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Apostle, ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.’”

Maybe these Iranian idiots need to see the movie 300 again, just in case they need a reminder of what happened to the last bunch of Persian a-holes who went to Greece.

I don’t know how much more obvious it can be that these people truly worship evil. Furthermore, it is antithetical to Truth and Goodness to kill anyone who disagrees with you. We are not the arbiters of Truth, God is. However, we will not submit quietly to the hordes trying to destoy civilization.

The Muzzies may be powerful but they serve a weak fallen angel. The Christian pastors serve a mighty, powerful God who controls all.

This is a one-sided fight.

God has won, but the battle still rages, for His own reasons, purification by fire, I think. And check out Scripture about when God raised an army to punish on a national level. That fallen angel looks forward to his time unchained.

Stop. They just basically acknowledged that their version of Islam functions as a Gulag.

On one hand, they'll tell you "there is no compulsion in religion", yet with the other not only do these same fanatics threaten murder, but carry it out, delivering death to those whom leave Islam, or even criticize it for that matter.

:) I suspect my cousins will know what to do, when and if the time comes.

Be aware that in these days that the power of the Islamic world is growing, it’s army and economy’s success have blinded the American and European government and have defeated and scared them.

These sound like people to whom we should extend an olive branch.

These pastors need to publicly denounce these A-holes taunt them in public as weak people who hide behind children and women. Then arm themselves and family then blow these A-holes away.
