Iranian Pastor Sentenced to Death; To Die Today: Nadarkhani Refuses to Convert

Voice of the Martyrs

International Business Times  "Before his last hearing Wednesday, Nadarkhani had been given three previous chances to repent, and all three times he has refused. After his final refusal Wednesday, no verdict has been announced, but many expect that he could be put to death as soon as Friday.
"The case has slowly garnered international attention, and there are a number of Christian rights groups advocating for his release."

C.S. Lewis : "You never know how much you really believe anything
until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you." "At the recent hearings, the court in Rasht ruled that Pastor Youcef was not a practicing Muslim before becoming a Christian but that he remains guilty of apostasy because of his Muslim ancestry."

Apostasy in Islam
In the Islamist's view, everyone is born a Muslim and leaves it later. Ergo, one does not "convert" to Islam; one "reverts" to Islam.
