Sen. Rubio Speaks on the Case of Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

[TheNova1960]

I doubt Iran would like it if the US wanted to execute Muslims, but it looks like they will hang him to set an example and put fear into those who are Christians living in Iran. :(

[dbirchle]

Well said. I am not personally religious, and although I admit a disdain for Muslim law in general, everyone should be allowed human rights no matter where they live. This is yet another case in a long history of abuse for such rights.

[CountArtha]

First Iran, then Canada!

[idontneedaname85]

Rubio for president!

[Engle36]

God bless you Senator for standing on the side of right doing for freedom of religion and worship.

[wierdsmabob]

Thumbs up for Senator Rubio for also bringing up this concern.

[wowsteph08]

For real we need to focus on other things than Marco Rubio's brother in law. Some people do terrible things and the find Jesus and guess what if they repent from the heart they are forgiven. Would you put your family members aside if it was you.

NOTICE! No teleprompter #vivaRubio

Lip, Rubio says he's a Christian on his Facebook page. Fine. I'm Christian too. I will even acknowledge that it's totally unfair to blame Marco Rubio for what his sister and brother-in-law did. The problem, as I see it, is that the brother-in-law, who worked for this criminal organization that murdered and dismembered a witness, was on stage with Marco Rubio celebrating when Rubio won his senate seat. Why'd Rubio allow him on stage with him? He had total control over it.

[HandMeThatHammer]

I wonder how Muslim-Americans would feel if apostasy was a crime punishable by death in the US?

[evachier]

we need to pray for Youcef Nadarkhani ...

[TerryDax]

Why talk shit about the guy, that has nothing to do with what hes saying? A man might go to his death for holding a different religious belief, and spreading that belief to others. How the hell is that even remotely okay in this day and age? It isn't.

You know who also condemned people to their deaths for their religious beliefs? Hitler.

[Handelson71]

sxy, you're right, I don't blame him for what his sister and brother-in-law did. But why were his sister and brother-in-law, who were involved not only with selling drugs but with a group who murdered and dismembered people, why were they up there on stage with Rubio when he won his race for the senate?

[divisioneight]

To the U.N., It's far easier to twist the tail of America than it is to twist the tail of an nation run by religious zealots. And in doing so to maintain a image of relevancy, they toss a few Christians to the lions as was done long ago, so be it. The value of life in the U.N. has diminished below the value of political points gained in the "new world order".

[Handelson71]

The drug dealing brother-in-law got of jail in 2000. The most terrible part is that Rubio defends him, saying that the brother-in-law simply made some mistakes when he was "a much younger man," but he's supposedly an outstanding guy according to Rubio.

[ChristianRefugees]

@Handelson71 Other than you being a left-wing nut who has a love for wife beating Muslims who hang homosexuals, what do you have against Rubio?

[Handelson71]

The story is even worse. Rubio's sister and brother-in-law were part of a ring that murdered and dismembered a witness. It wouldn't be so bad, except that the Rubio family continues to embrace the convicted brother-in-law, who lives in Rubio's mother's house. The convicted drug dealer (cocaine and marijuana) was up there with Rubio when the latter celebrated the election win for senate.

@Handelson71 After watching this entire video - not once - did Mr. Rubio claim himself to be a Christian. The issue is - Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani - not - Senator Rubio. Also, he is not responsible for the lifestyle of family members which lead their own lives. Drug users often decline advise from caring family members and tell them to mind their own business. That is the burden of family members that caution them but truth to end falls on deaf ears - for the love and addiction of drugs.

[nirgunas]

Thank you for your efforts, Sen. Rubio. Iran needs to know there are consequences to the persecution of Christians.

[MzDemeanor821]

Handelson if you live in Florida as I do, chances are you have one family member who is a drug user. It certainly isn't his fault what his sister does... Thank you Mr. Rubio for drawing attention to this. It seems our biggest ministers like Mr. Hagee never discuss the persecution of christians in the Middle East.

[Handelson71]

Don't make me laugh, Rubio. Now you want to claim you are a Christian? Christians don't LIE their way to power like you did.

[ikambor]

@Handelson71 people like you are from the lowest common denominator,, you are a scum bag dirt ball, who is envious of everyone else,, you want everyone else to pay taxes but you and you want those taxes to go into your pocket, i know people like you,, always ready to point the finger at someone else,, and you suck,, and nobody likes you

[DorotkaUS]

@Handelson71 Bold statements. You are now his judge? Back-up your claims. VERIFIED--- as your remarks are big on finger-pointing and name calling but little on substance.

[Handelson71]

Marco Rubio's sister and brother-in-law were cocaine and marijuana dealers here in Miami. I want to know if Rubio knew what they were doing before the brother in law got busted.

[ikambor]

@Handelson71 i want to know if you are a pedophile you fucking scum bag you rape your own sister and mom,, and neighbors dog

[sxyphatboy]

@Handelson71 he was 16, that's not cool man, not cool at all. Plus his sister wasn't with him at his home with her parents. Its like saying that your a drug dealer because your sister that lives in California deals drugs. These things are just low and should not make their appearance anywhere. Just let it be and don't worry about it.

[dallasbrat81]

Thank you Mr Rubio for bringing this to light.
