Thoughts From A Conservative Mom

Pray for Pastor Youcef and his family.  The Iranian court has sentenced him to death for the “crime” of believing in Christ, for asserting his God-given right to educate his own children according to his faith, and for trying to follow the law by registering a home church.  This is Sharia law in action – no tolerance, no freedom of conscience, no “peace” for those who dare to assert their God-given, unalienable right not to bow to Islamic tyranny.

Unalienable rights are endowed by our Creator, not the state. Youcef has an unalienable human right – granted by God – to choose his religion according to his conscience, no matter what a tyrannical government says. By denying him this right, Iran is committing a crime against God’s “Natural Law” – the higher law that no man or ruler is above.

Our founders understood this, which is why they condemned King George III for violating “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” in the Declaration of Independence, and protected unalienable rights with in the constitution. Any government or law which violates Natural Law and unalienable rights is unjust by definition.

Pray for Youcef and his family as they are being subjected to this tyrannical injustice!

From the Jerusalem Post:

Despite the international outrage over the incarceration and slated death penalty for Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, Iran’s judiciary has issued orders to hang the dissident Christian.

Jay Sekulow, the chief counsel for the Washington-based American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ), said on Wednesday, “We are hearing reports from our contacts in Iran that the execution orders for Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani may have been issued.”

Nadarkhani, now 34, was arrested in 2009 for questioning the compulsory Islamic education of his children and for seeking to register a home-based church. He was sentenced to death in 2010.

The ACLJ has closely monitored the case and has previously translated Iranian legal documents.

Sekulow added, “It is unclear whether Pastor Youcef would have a right of appeal from the execution order. We know that the head of Iran’s Judiciary, Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani, must approve publicly held executions, but only a small percentage of executions are held in public – most executions in Iran are conducted in secret.”

There has been a dramatic increase of executions in the Islamic Republic over the last month, Sekulow said.
