Iran

Of course most of us are watching the wrenching events in Tehran, at least if your news sources cover it (many do not). I can’t say that the outcome is surprising, not Ahminajihadway “winning” or the protests—least of all the protests, and the rulers’ reactions to them. It’s really heartbreaking. Hearts yearning to be free.

Don’t even get me started on the President’s pathetically namby-pamby response to the “election”, the protests, the government shooting down people in the streets. He is troubled, deeply troubled! Just not as unhappy as he is when an abortion doctor is murdered, as the Hot Air folks point out. The “new, remade America” cares more for abortionists than they do those who desire freedom.

Foreign media have been banned from covering the recount or the protests, though that is not stopping intrepid reporters like those from Sky News.

For decades, the people living in Iran (many prefer referring to themselves as Persians) have been shouldering an inhuman burden, placed on their shoulders by the Muslim mullahs, who are really just dictators in bathrobes. The frustration and anger has long been bubbling beneath the surface, breaking out from time to time. My hope is that they can throw off their shackles and find liberty. The people of Iran have no real liberty, and that most certainly includes religious liberty. Of course, Christ came to set captives free, and He’s never been thwarted in His mission to come to slaves of sin and slaves of men, but it would be wonderful to see the door opened to those too afraid to listen, or who do not have believers in their lives to tell them.

Well. We should all hope the people in this nation came come to freedom and bring down those who’ve so long subjugated them.
