Christian pastor part of the IZCTTOTW*

Pastor Yusef Nadarkhani has been charged with apostasy which in Islam calls for the death penalty.  


But wait, there's more.


As an enemy of Muhammad and Allah, Nadarkhani is at the whim of those doing the accusing, and wouldn't you know, he is now being accused of taking part in that grand cabal known as *The International Zionist Conspiracy To Take Over The World.  In virtually every instance where someone is accused of being an enemy of the state of Islam, the Zionist/Jew/Israel albatross is hauled out and hung with glee.


It is very possible Nadarkhani will be dead by Monday morning, let's pray for his deliverance from the hands of his enemies.

Iran pastor guilty of being a 'Zionist, traitor': official

Iranian pastor Yusef Nadarkhani should face the death penalty for being a traitorous "Zionist" and committing "security crimes," not for apostasy, an official said Friday according to Fars news agency, amid a Western outcry over his sentence.

Nadarkhani's lawyer told AFP that the remarks by Gholam-Ali Rezvani, deputy governor general of the northern province of Gilan, where the pastor's case is being reheard, were the first time security offences had been mentioned.

Rezvani's comments were also the first public remarks by an Iranian official about Nadarkhani's case.

"The issue of crime and of capital punishment of this individual is not a question of faith or religion -- in our system, one cannot be executed for changing their religion," Fars quoted Rezvani as saying.

Bukhari 9.84.57 says;

"Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him" (Bukhari 9.84.57)

Nadarkhani was, however, "a Zionist, a traitor and had committed security crimes," said Rezvani, who is responsible for security and political affairs in the province.

Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, Nadarkhani's lawyer, told AFP that Rezvani's remarks were the first time authorities had cited "security offences" against his client.

"On the apostasy, that is exactly what we were told in front of the court," he said. "However, there was no mention of security offences during the trial. These new accusations should be examined by the courts."

Nadarkhani, now 32, converted from Islam to Christianity at the age of 19 and became pastor of a small evangelical community called the Church of Iran.

He was arrested in October 2009 and condemned to death for apostasy under Islamic sharia law, which allows for such verdicts to be overturned if the convicted person "repents" and renounces his conversion.

Four chances to repent.  Nadarkhani has been given all four chances and he has rejected them all.
