IRAN’S UNCLEAN CHRISTIANS: AFTER THE REVOLUTION, THEY WERE DEEMED FILTHY…….

As Andy Bostom has repeatedly opined about Iranian Shiite purity laws, Najis, anything un-islamic, especially Jews and then Christians, are considered impure, and have to be dealt with under Islamic law (sharia) in order not to contaminate Muslim society. The Iranian revolution just simply reinstituted what was before the advent of secular rule.

Iran’s Christians face hardships

Rev. Hendrik Shanazarian is a peacemaker.

In promoting peace, however, the Iranian pastor must broach less-than-peaceful topics such as murder, discrimination and genocide. Shanazarian, engaged by Presbyterian Church USA for three weeks of traveling and speaking as official peacemaker, spoke Sunday at Grace Presbyterian Church in Milton-Freewater about Christianity in Iran and the Armenian genocide 100 years ago in Turkey.

Shanazarian now pastors a church in southern California, but it’s obvious he still loves his birth country. He spoke of Iran’s natural beauty, hospitality, history, art and poetry. He said Christians, though a tiny minority, flourished there until revolutionaries overthrew the Shah in 1979 and opened the way for hardliner Ayatollah Khomeini, who became the supreme religious leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“After the revolution, things changed,” Shanazarian said. “There were limitations for Christians. They were considered unclean.”
