the "Crime" of not being a Muslim? This guy, an Iranian by birth, by the name of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani converted to Christian from Muslim at the age of 19. He's now 32, married, with 2 kids, and part of the largest Sect of Christianity in Iran.

This guy has been in prison for 2 years for the crime of being an "Apostate". His wife has been imprisoned for a year specifically because she is a Christian.

? Apostasy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostate
Apostasy ( /?'p?st?si/; Greek: ????????? (apostasia), a defection or revolt, from ???, apo, "away, apart", ??????, stasis, "stand", "standing") is the formal disaffiliation from or abandonment or renunciation of a religion by a person. One who commits apostasy apostatises and is an apostate.

The Iranian Government is saying that it isn't about him being an Apostate, but that they're trying to decide if they'll charge him with murder or rape... But the documents smuggled out of the country show clearly that the charge is "Being an Apostate" and that he was given 3 chances to "Repent" and claim to be a Muslim again... Since for some reason the number 3 is REALLY important in Sharia Law.

This Christian guy's Muslim Lawyer has been disbarred and is facing 9 years in prison JUST FOR DEFENDING HIS CLIANT!

You understand that, right? Not only is this guy being threatened with Death by Hanging for the simple fact that he isn't a Muslim, his MUSLIM LAWYER is being stripped of his right to practice law and faces NINE YEARS IN PRISON just for taking the case and doing his best to defend his client...

So...
• Why is no one really talking about this?
• Why has the UN not stepped in and put a stop to this?
• Why has Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hemming and hawing on this?
• Why is the joint protests of Republicans and Democrats, Christians, Atheists, and Muslims holding governmental office being ignored by the Obama Administration and SOS Clinton?

I'm not defending "Christians", I'm an Atheist that boarders at times on the Anti-Theist... I'm horrified by the TOTAL HYPOCRISY of the WORLD when it comes to abuses of Non-Muslims by Muslims...

How the media is shockingly quite about the thousands of people killed by Muslims in The Middle East and Africa each year just because they aren't Muslims yet ONE Christian Church makes a retarded fuss about burning a handful of Qurans and next thing you know, Muslims world wide are rioting and it's the ONLY THING you hear about in both National (American) media AND the International Media.

How can such hypocrisy not make the lucid folk of the world REALLY REALLY ANGRY?

If a SINGLE MUSLIM WOMAN is asked to lift her veil to allow a cop to verify her identity, the American media EXPLODES... Yet this guy is going to be hanged, his wife is facing more time in prison making their two kids parentless, and his LAWYER has been disbarred and is facing prison and the response is a 1 paragraph "Article" on CNN.com?

I had no idea but it really doesn't surprise me.

Because Iran is one of the most oppressed and fundamentalist Islamic nations on earth. F*ck Iran.

apathy is growing.

Yeah why indeed! Interesting

That's quite sad, but such is the result of religious theocracy; the abuse of governmental power in the pursuit of goals based upon a twisted version of a religion (remember the Salem witch trails and the Inquisition?).

Oh, and by the way, the word is "hanged". The man will be "hanged" not "hung".

If the world was fair we would all be bunch of fu.cking hippies now wouldn't we. If your not happy with my comment go up the Iranian president and yell at his face for his stupid rules.

Btw, cool story bro.
