A (Christian) cousin of mine posted about an alleged Christian preacher named Yousef Nadarkhani who had been sentenced to death in Iran for not renouncing Christianity. The link this friend pointed to was for an e-petition asking that he be spared or some sort. Quite aside from the fact that e-petitions are generally useless, I would of course support such a cause in the name of religious freedom. I just wondered if the story were true as I hadn't heard of it in my millions of blogs that touch on these subjects.
I searched, and found a lot of stories on google news. But they were ALL on Christian religion-based news sites. Does anyone know if this story is true? It seems like the sort of thing the mainstream news would report on, especially in the US, with its rampant Islamaphobia and mainstream embracing of Christianity.
