Christian Woman Beaten For Beliefs

An Iranian Christian woman who ran a tailoring business began teaching three girls how to sew. While they worked, she taught them about her faith. One of the girls was from a Muslim family, who became upset about it. Excerpts of what happened next:

[T]he sewing instructor's shop was broken into, much of her equipment destroyed, and she was beaten and threatened with death. The woman was then taken to court, and a judge said her persecutors were within their rights to attack her.

The sewing instructor has had to relocate for her safety, and also to re-establish her business. In Iran, Christians are not allowed to print literature or Sunday school bulletins. Converts from Islam to Christianity are also subject to the death penalty.

Is this the kind of religious freedom offered by Islam? These actions are consistent with what I've blogged about before in my Radical Islam Revealed series. Anyone who equates Christianity with Islam needs to take another look at the incredible differences between the two religions; this story about the Iranian Christian woman is a perfect example of the vast gulf that separates them.

There's my two cents.
