Who is spreading the lies?? And to what end??


September 17 — Brian O’Connor, a Christian guest worker from India, was produced before an Islamic court in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on September 15, nearly six months after he was arrested, tortured and jailed for allegedly “spreading Christianity” in the strict Islamic kingdom. O’Connor’s hearing occurred just hours before U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell named Saudi Arabia as one of eight “countries of particular concern” for its “gross infringements of religious freedom.” The U.S. State Department’s annual religious freedom report on Saudi Arabia noted that “non-Muslim worshippers risk arrest, imprisonment, lashing, deportation and sometimes torture.”

September 10 — Iranian police invaded the annual general conference of Iran’s Assemblies of God Church yesterday, arresting at least 80 church leaders gathered at the church’s denominational center in Karaj, 20 miles west of Tehran. Reportedly each individual was questioned separately by security officials, who had a specific list of questions. By evening, the authorities had released all the arrested Christians except for the 10 pastors among them. The location of these 10 men is unknown, and their families have not been allowed any contact with them.

September 9 — Five Afghan men who had converted to Christianity have been killed in separate incidents since late June near the borders of eastern Afghanistan. The first death was reported on July 1 by Reuters news agency, which received a telephone call from a Taliban spokesman announcing the murder of Mullah Assad Ullah the previous day in Ghazni province. “A group of Taliban dragged out Mullah Assad Ullah and slit his throat with a knife because he was propagating Christianity,” the man told Reuters. The murder of another Christian convert who had gone to visit Assad Ullah’s family was confirmed on August 7. The body of Naveed ul-Rehman was discovered in early August near his abandoned car in Awdand. Three more Afghan Christians were stabbed or beaten to death in separate incidents on July 15, July 23 and July 28. Each left behind a wife and several children.
