Iran Gives 80 Lashes for Communion Wine
Quote:
Four Iranian Christians were reportedly sentenced to 80 lashes for drinking wine for communion, a shocking punishment meted out even as a new United Nations report blasted the Islamic republic for its systematic persecution of non-Muslims.
<...>
The UN reported noted Iran’s “Authorities continue to compel licensed Protestant churches to restrict Persian-speaking and Muslim-born Iranians from participating in services, and raids and forced closures of house churches are ongoing…More than 300 Christians have been arrested since 2010, and dozens of church leaders and active community members have reportedly been convicted of national security crimes in connection with church activities, such as organizing prayer groups, proselytizing and attending Christian seminars abroad."

It's amazing that anti-Christian violence is not championed by the MSM [or at least given sufficient consideration]; when it is reported, it's usually a blurb, then forgotten. Heaven forbid someone draw a cartoon of Mohammed ~~ the news would be all over that for a month.
