Christianity is the fastest growing religion in Iran, and it's not happening in cathedrals or in churches. It's happening in secret, behind closed doors, in secret gatherings in people's homes, and in secret churches.

00:00:00.000 did you know that christianity is the fastest growing religion in occupied iran you heard 1.00
00:00:05.360 that correctly iran the country that has been occupied by the most brutal islamic dictatorship 0.71
00:00:12.240 for the last 47 years the country where the islamic dictatorship claims that iranians are 99.9
00:00:19.680 percent muslim is actually not a muslim country in fact recent studies show that less than 30
00:00:27.600 of Iranians identify as Muslim. By the way, that study was taken about four or five years ago,
00:00:34.080 so you can imagine the number of people who actually identify as Muslims is even less.
00:00:39.440 I would say it's probably less than 20%. But don't take my word for it. Here's what
00:00:44.880 the Islamic regime itself had to say about Islam in Iran just two years ago.
00:00:49.840 senior cleric claims religion in iran week 50 000 mosques closed this is from june 2023 by the way
00:01:01.380 so this is the cleric and his name is mohammed abuel gossim dulabi iranian president ibrahim
00:01:08.600 ray sees special representative in clerical affairs a senior islamic cleric says around
00:01:15.380 50,000 of Iran's 75,000 mosques are closed, showing the declining numbers of Iranians
00:01:23.620 attending. 50,000 mosques of the 75,000 mosques in Iran have been shut down due to lack of
00:01:33.560 attendance. I will make another video in the future explaining why Iran is not a Muslim 1.00
00:01:38.380 country, but for the purposes of this video, I just want to focus on Christianity. The reason 0.92
00:01:43.100 I shared this article with you is so that you can now see that I'm not making it up when I say 0.95
00:01:48.540 Christianity is rapidly growing and Islam is dying in Iran. Before the Islamic regime took over in 0.87
00:01:56.140 1979, turning Iran into a 7th century Islamic hellhole, Iran was actually a rapidly modernizing 0.70
00:02:03.140 country under our beloved Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In fact, both the Shah and the Shah Banu 0.84
00:02:10.520 were huge proponents of westernization, economic development, and women's rights.
00:02:17.200 Iran, before 1979, under the Shah and the Shah Banu, was also a bastion of religious freedom.
00:02:24.060 Muslims, Jews, Christians, Baha'is, Zoroastrians, agnostic, any and all religions lived freely in
00:02:32.420 Iran and were able to openly practice their religion without fear of persecution. All of
00:02:38.620 that changed when the Islamic regime took over Iran in 1979 and imposed Islamic Sharia law on
00:02:45.300 the country. In the blink of an eye, Iran went from being a paradise to a prison governed by 0.71
00:02:52.340 Sharia law. Apostasy, aka leaving Islam, became a crime punishable by death. Churches were outlawed, 0.96
00:03:00.620 converts were hunted down, and Farsi language Bibles became contraband. Any challenge to the
00:03:07.000 Islamic regime's authority was swiftly and cruelly crushed. Yet today, despite every effort by the 0.86
00:03:15.260 Islamic dictatorship to force Iranians to be Muslim, Christianity is exploding in Iran. In fact, 0.85
00:03:24.220 occupied Iran has one of the fastest growing Christian populations in the world. It's not 1.00
00:03:31.960 happening in cathedrals. It's not happening out in the streets. It's happening quietly behind
00:03:37.540 closed doors, in underground churches, in secret gatherings in people's homes. One of the reasons
00:03:44.020 that many Iranians are now turning to Christianity is because after 40 years of living under a brutal 0.82
00:03:50.820 Islamic dictatorship, they know what Sharia law is like. They understand the cruelty. They've seen 0.99
00:03:58.160 the hate, and they don't want anything to do with it. And so many of them are not only leaving Islam,
00:04:04.360 but they are turning to Christianity, and they are turning to the love that Jesus Christ provides.
00:04:11.100 And the more the government cracks down, the more Iranians seem to turn to Christianity.
00:04:17.120 Now, of course, we don't have official numbers because, again, leaving Islam is a crime punishable
00:04:23.700 by death under Sharia law, but we know that there are at least 1 million Iranians who have converted
00:04:30.980 to Christianity. Being a Christian in Iran is very dangerous, guys. This is not a joke. 0.98
00:04:37.340 Being a Christian in occupied Iran is incredibly dangerous. Being a Christian in a country governed 0.99
00:04:43.800 by Sharia law is basically a death sentence. Iranians in occupied Iran who have recently 0.96
00:04:50.620 left Islam and converted to Christianity are constantly being persecuted and jailed. Less
00:04:57.580 than a month ago, three Iranian converts were given prison sentences for the crime of leaving
00:05:04.460 Islam and converting to Christianity. Three Christian converts just began two-year prison
00:05:11.420 sentences due to their involvement in a house church. Pray for Hannah Golomi, Daniel Mohammadi
00:05:18.540 and Tehmur Hosseini, an Afghan believer, who are today behind bars for following Christ.
00:05:25.800 Here's another example of how the religion of peace treats people who leave Islam and convert
00:05:31.720 to Christianity. Five Iranian Christian converts sentenced to stiff prison terms. This was just on 0.68
00:05:39.620 December 17. So this was only like, this was literally last week that this happened.
00:05:44.300 a seriously ill iranian christian convert who broke her spine in ivian prison is among
00:05:52.520 five christians handed combined prison terms totaling more than 50 years a rights group said
00:05:58.820 the national security offenses for which they were convicted involve house church worship
00:06:06.040 and christian activity online according to a uk-based rights group article 18
00:06:12.420 Now I already know what the Islamic regime apologists are going to say. They're going to say, well, Christianity is one of the recognized religions in the Iranian constitution. Yeah, that's because the Iranian constitution was actually drafted in 1909.
00:06:30.420 1909. The current constitution was created before the Islamic dictatorship took over in 1979.
00:06:39.760 The only reason that the Islamic dictatorship has kept the constitution is because they like to use 0.92
00:06:44.820 it to try and hide and deny the very real persecution of religious and ethnic minorities
00:06:51.820 in occupied Iran, Christians being one of them. And as I just showed you, Christians in Iran are
00:06:58.120 literally being jailed because if they speak about Christianity or if they attend Christian churches,
00:07:03.860 the Islamic dictatorship sees that as a sign of national security threat. Even though the 0.51
00:07:11.280 terrorist Islamic dictatorship occupying Iran has been cracking down on Christian converts in
00:07:17.160 occupied Iran in order to scare Iranians into remaining Muslim, it's not working. In fact,
00:07:24.240 Christianity is the fastest growing religion in occupied Iran. There's a lot more to say
00:07:29.680 about religion in Iran and what's actually happening and what information you're not
00:07:34.640 getting from the mainstream media. But for now, I just wanted to wish all Christians around the
00:07:39.080 world, and especially Christians in Iran who are literally risking their lives just by
00:07:45.120 practicing their faith, I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.
00:07:54.240 You
