Letter from Youcef Nadarkhani, on Iran's death row for his faith in God

[Tearlach2012]

Iran and Saudi are the two idealised Islamic states - if Muslims want to live like these countries - then leave Europe now - we will never become like these vile states.

[mystic81006]

BLESSED ARE THE ONES WHO PROSECUTED FOR MY NAMES SAKE.

[Tomislavv2]

Muslims are  animals. Its time to outlaw this criminal Islam in civilized world.

[MAGOMADB]

it's just not fair

[odxoxbo]

we are music band from a church in uk , we made a music video to support yousef nadarkhani.

please check the clip on our page and like this comment to support .

[tazluvpizza]

Is there any updates on how he's doing? I searched and I couldn't find really recent info.

[SirLaurenWilson]

I don't feel sorry for these people. They persecute us for being atheist agnostic and whatever else is out there. I don't feel one inch of sadness. I am actually am happy that this is happening because maybe they will learn to respect us to and yet believe in their God. It shouldn't matter what people believe in. They shouldn't push their faith onto us and we shouldn't onto them. Its pathetic

[watcher4234]

@SirLaurenWilson How would you feel if someone put you in prison for being atheist? This is about human rights. We are all equal. Don't look at this man as all Christians who have possibly hurt you. Look at him as a family man with 2 kids a wife and friends. It's downright wrong to imprison anyone for their religion - atheism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism.

[SirLaurenWilson]

@watcher4234 I already do feel imprisoned because I am simply wrong and I am on death roll according to Christians who decide to persecute me so it doesn't matter. I do agree with you though. I do think that people need to let go of imprisoning others spiritually. It shouldn't matter whether one believes in hoodoo or whatever. It shouldn't matter yet people are so pompous and so they try to destroy other people. I still don't feel sorry for this bloke. I know I sound hard but its how I feel

[watcher4234]

@SirLaurenWilson Look you can still get involved by writing to your local politicians, talk to your teachers, talk to your friends. Spread the word that there is hate in some countries that should never exist. If you feel you're being persecuted for being an athiest, you should understand EXACTY what this man is going through. It's not right to sit back and allow someone to be murdered for their religion - whatever they choose to believe. Today they murder Christians, tomorrow Hindus...

[SirLaurenWilson]

@watcher4234 I don't agree with the hatred hon. I really don't I just don't want to get involved in helping a man who's community has bashed us against the wall. I think its time that they learn a lesson for hurting people. I am sorry but maybe they will look at this situation and see the wrong and will recognise this is what they are doing to nonbelievers. I agree with you fully. I would never never be the one to turn in a person for being Christian however they would turn me in for being gay

[watcher4234]

@SirLaurenWilson Look, I didn't know you're gay and yes Christians can be really harsh on that. I tell Christians their first responsibility to look at is the suicide rate among the homosexuals. You're a child of God, you don't have to believe in what I call God. God is anything that is moral, ethical and being kind. This guy isn't going to be hanged for being a total KKK, persecuting others and attacking gays. I would agree they should imprison him. This man is a REFLECTION of Iran's system.

[SirLaurenWilson]

@watcher4234 I really think it is cool with what you said about God being anything that is moral and ethical. I do agree with you there and I do find that quite astonishing that you would say that knowing that you are a Christian. I really thought that was very wise to say and very true. I don't believe in God. It doesn't exist however that doesn't take the existence of God away from you. Please personal message me hon. So that I don't have to keep uploading this video hon :)

[watcher4234]

@SirLaurenWilson I just messaged you! xoxo Peace and Love.

[watcher4234]

@SirLaurenWilson Be the bigger person and put aside your hurtful feelings. You don't have the appreciate Christians - but you do have to stand up when you see someone being bullied. This man might have had atheist friends and never judged non-Christians. They are not all evil. Consider him as a family man with friends, children, a wife and parents. No one has the right to murder another for their religion - whatever that religion is.

[watcher4234]

@SirLaurenWilson Iran doesn't only murder Christians, they murder people who have sex outside of marriage and people who are gay. Do you agree with these ideas? No one has that right. In Iran, a man can be whipped for kissing his girlfriend in public. Don't think of this situation as, 'one less Christian in the world' but 'no one has the right to hurt and murder others for their life choices.' Sitting back and doing nothing means you are ok when they hang gays and lesbians too.

[SirLaurenWilson]

@watcher4234 hey will you write me messages my computer keeps freezing when I try to comment you on this video.

I do get what you mean about it not being right. I don't know how to help those in Iran. I really don't if I knew I would try to help the gay community. Please write messages to me ok?

[emovgucci]

@SirLaurenWilson Its not the Christian in a person to persecute, its the PERSON in that person that persecutes. for we have all sinned and have fallen short of the glory of god. But no matter what your differences or troubles or demons, there is refuge in JESUS.

[SirLaurenWilson]

@emovgucci well if I don't believe in God I will go to hell. Same thing. Religion is pathetic who gives a damn what people believe in. I seriously think there's no reason to kill anyone over this shite. Christians killed non believers in the past. You'd think they'd understand by now. Anyhoo screw religion.

[SCOTTYBEE4JC]

God Bless him

[PaulLovesGod]

@kickodude:

The Iranian courts and government who have sentenced Pastor Youcef are following their typical procedure towards punishing and executing "apostates." Rather than execute them on that charge, they create false charges (rape, drugs, etc.) to hang onto these innocent people, like Pastor Nadarkhani--an old tactic which you ought to recognize. I have a close friend who went through the same imprisonment and trumped-up false charges as a pastor in communist Cuba, for example, lately.

[TheDidiM]

It is our responsibility - to denounce leadership that murders its citizens in the name of religion! For those who believe in God - no matter what name - God - is given remember the First Commandment: THOU SHALT NOT KILL and remember THOU SHALT NOT TAKE MY NAME IN VAIN.

[explainingwhy]

How TRUE is Islam if Mohammad claimed Muslims are allowed to LIE under hadith 6459-Ahmad?

How TRUE is Mohammad's claim that Allah appointed him as the last prophet when no where in the Quran did Allah did not say He provided witnesses to affirm Mohammad as His prophet?

WHEN ALLAH APPOINTED PROPHETS, ALLAH ALSO PROVIDED WITNESSES.

MOSES HAD WITNESSES[EXODUS. Ch19 OF THE TANACH]

JESUS HAD WITNESSES[MATTHEW 3:16-17 OF THE BIBLE]

MOHAMMAD HAD NO WITNESS for he lied!

AMEN=TRULY only IN JESUS

[kickodude]

This is ridiculous, here is the real story as confirmed by CNN themselves...

This got blown WAY out of proportion by the western media. This guy did get charged for apostasy, but he's not being executed for that. He's being executed for violent crimes including repeated rape and extortion. Still want to defend him?

Don't believe me? Look it up right now. And it's not some crazy conspiracy theory, CNN confirmed it.

[SopranoJessi]

@kickodude Sorry man but you're believing a big lie. CNN only confirmed that the charges were changed. Changed FROM WHAT? Apostasy. Maybe you should do some more reading of some real journalism. The rape & extortion charges are lies and even THOSE charges have been changed to Zionism. Yes, I still want to defend him because if you research Iran & their unjust executions, you'll see how gravely mistaken you are

[kickodude]

@SopranoJessi I was born there bro. I know how politically stupid the government is. But there is really no hard proof for which of us are right. Only guesses...

[SopranoJessi]

@kickodude You're born there & you know how they work, yet you believe their lies? Legal Advocates have a copy of the Court Ruling for Execution- you can google it & read it yourself in your own language. Seeing that Iran executes people with no evidence (like political prisoners) & trump up false charges, the burden of proof is on them. I'm sorry that your country is so "politically stupid" as you said it is. My heart goes out to all those imprisoned in Iran on false charges.

[kickodude]

@SopranoJessi That shit is fake bro. They haven't given him the execution charge yet. The verdict will be reached on Monday. At this point, it really is hard to say. Also, I think its kind of dumb how you are putting religion as a theme to this video so intensely. You Christians can pray for him all you want but the bigger issue here is the right to expression and such. It feels a little alienating to non-Christians and the issue will go ignored.

[kickodude]

@SopranoJessi Oh sorry I thought you were the uploader LOL

[starletdempsy]

@kickodude wow dude, you believe everthing what cnn says. its funny the whole time I watched that channel they barely mention this case. fox is bias, but if you ask me I think cnn is terribly biased and they do not give out truthful news like some of the alternative news out there. I hate the media today which happens to be from the liberal side. They only give out what interest them and how they can change the minds of the people to their view points. false journalism if you ask me.

[maxo287]

@kickodude

Oh what a coincidence , let's see , he was arrested for apostasy then Oh surprise, he is not a pastor he is a rapist, really? anyone with a bit of brains knows this corrupt RELIGIOS POLICE, they do whatever they want because is IRAN, they can kill homosexuals, they can kill woman because they want to and invent a bunch of charges , I have read hundreds of books and have Iranian friends , search and you will find it too.

[xXStrWbrrYsToneXx]

Could have been a letter from Paul the Apostle. I have never met this man, but I love him very much and pray for him and his family and those suffering and persecuting him every day. Keep praying, you guys. Our God is more than able to deliver him. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever!!!

[biancaarielle]

God bless you, Yocef, my brother.

[zheuhang]

stop all these islam nonsense

[1integrity]

Praying for his Church and family and for Pastor Youcef to keep the ONE FAith to the end no matter what is God's plan in the midst of the evil of men. What they mean for evil, God will turn around for good in eternity for sure. Rejoice when you are counted worthy to suffer for the Name of Christ for your reward is great for all eternity.

[explainingwhy]

Evil Muslim men bring false charges against Christians TO GAIN POWER. These are false charges because Islam allows all Muslims to lie[Haddith 6459-Ahmad].

How TRUE is Islam when its believers are allowed to LIE?

Did Muhammad LIE declaring himself as prophet when he had no witnesses to affirm his claim as a prophet of Allah?

WHEN ALLAH APPOINTED PROPHETS, ALLAH ALSO PROVIDED WITNESSES.

MOSES HAD WITNESSES[EXO. C19]

JESUS HAD WITNESSES[MATT 3:16-17]

MOHAMMAD HAD no WITNESS.

AMEN=TRULY IN JESUS

[kickodude]

@explainingwhy You are a fag...

[RadicalDreamer17]

This is the current difference between islamic countries and others. In islamic countries, you might get killed if you're not a hardcore muslim (or not a muslim at all). In my (originally christian but turned secular) country, we just ask muslims to not show off their religion too much (sometimes, it's really too much... my country didn't become secular for nothing) but we let them be muslims.

Why can't we all live in peace despite our different beliefs, I will never understand.

[jasonthemankiller]

Never trust the Zionist controlled media .

Yousef Nadarkhani is charged with rape and extortion .He is a criminal thats it.

This has nothing about faith .He was a criminal who converted to Christianity and he continued hes criminal activity .

[TheDynamiteGeneral]

@jasonthemankiller Stop smoking the government propaganda!

We have the Iranian Supreme Court Verdict (in Farsi) court documents & WE CAN READ THEM!

In the two years since Pastor Youcef’s arrest, the only charged leveled against Pastor Youcef in court was apostasy. This is the charge on which the Iranian Supreme Court ruled, he was “convicted of turning his back on Islam.”

FREE Pastor Youcef! FREE his MUSLIM Atty & FREE IRAN bring back the Persian Empire!

[jasonthemankiller]

@TheDynamiteGeneral

No wonder they say you Americans are the most dumbed down ppl on earth .

The trials hasn't even begun you Jew lover .And just so you know in Iran there are no law saying the state can kill a man for converting ,now go play with your dolls !!

[xXStrWbrrYsToneXx]

@jasonthemankiller Go troll somewhere else, please. A man's life is on the line. Don't you have a heart for humanity? God be with you.

[bestinfadel]

@jasonthemankiller you seem dumbed down judging by your comments , even with clear evidence this man was merely arrested becuase he rejected islam for christianity , and wants to be a pastor , iran is a mess , first killing its own people on the streets off tehran and now arresting a man just for changing his religon . what kind of country has a law that punishes people for choosing a particular faith , how sad . and you call americans dumbed down. iran is a joke , i feel sorry for there youth

[jasonthemankiller]

@bestinfadel

Go play with your videogames this is a big mans talk

[xXStrWbrrYsToneXx]

@jasonthemankiller Yeah..........THAT'S why NONE of the court's documents ever said anything about it. NOR did they focus on those crimes in ANY of the hearings. ALL they focus on is making brother Youcef recant. They want him dead(.) He was doing too much for Christianity and the kingdom of the LIVING God. Take your lies somewhere else, no one will believe them here. We WILL stand and speak for Christ, since you seem to love speaking for His adversary so much.

[bestinfadel]

@xXStrWbrrYsToneXx nicely put , god bless

Brother Youcef is in my prayers. His persecutors are in my prayers. Finally, I pray that I may show such dignity and courage as this Christian man who walks in the steps of Christ, Stephen, Peter and Paul.

Brave man.May the Holy Spirit be with him.

[cobbax9916]

these people Said and Youcef and others like them are the bravest of the brave we havent yet had to

endure such a situation but the time is coming when we will. God will give them

the words to say to totally bewilder the enemies of God. This life is short and temporary, heaven and hell are permanent forever. People must get born again

of the Spirit and receive the Holy Spirit to get heaven entry and time is short.

Jesus is coming to this generation on the clouds with great glory.

God bless you Youcef you are a light in the world

[rsaran1288]

Amen, may we all be as bold and courageous as this brother in standing up for Christ in these last dark days. Let us also pray for the non-believers who are persecuting Christians, that their eyes and ears may be opened to the grace and love our Lord poured out on Calvary. Amen!

[okwelee]

In The Name Of Jesus, I Pray For Your Glory To Be Reveal Father. May Your Right Hand And Your Presence Be A Comfort To Yousef At This Very Moment. Let Not Fear And Doubt Be His Portion. Let Your Love And Peace Surround Him. I Pray Against All Plot Of The Evil One Against him. Set Yousef Free For The Glory Of Your Holy And Mighty Name. Reveal Yourself To him And To his Family. At Let "No Weapon Formed Against Them Prospers". Be Glorified Now And Forever More.

[vikingskippen]

@okwelee learn to hold in capitals plx

[NonebutJesus316]

@becharev Its not about what other Christians will think of him. When you really know Jesus, and you love him with all your heart, you can't deny him! It's simply not an option for a believer!

To live is Christ, and to die is gain!

[NonebutJesus316]

@airlinepilot26 "Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you; bless those who curse you; and pray for those who mistreat you"

You can't honestly call yourself a follower of the risen Lord and still be full of hate like that. I feel immense compassion for our brother Youcef but I also feel compassion for the ones who are doing the persecuting. They're so lost and they desperately need Jesus, not more hate.

[agapemom]

@NonebutJesus316 AMEN AND AMEN

[airlinepilot26]

I say we kill all the fucking sand niggers down there. At least one thing is for sure, this man will make it into heavan where he belongs. I just hope that all the sick twisted no good towel heads down ther rott in hell. FUCK THE ARABS, KILL THEM ALL. May the burn in hell and I hope that I get to watch. God bless America!!!!

[dellatsni]

Islam is a sick, vile, evil death cult.

[themrduragss]

Seeing as you know it all describe blue to a blind man that has never seen before

[Lydia777ful]

Update July 2011 to this case you find at present truthmn dot com as you take it as one word. Another statement, that Youcef Nadarkhani was sentenced to death for apostasy last year ...

[becharev]

Recant. Say what they want you to say. No-one will think the worse of you and no-one will believe their propaganda.

"Taqiyya" is a two-edged sword!

Live to fight another day.

[TheRockZH]

The whole world is watching. We will all fight Islam.

[themrduragss]

@TheRockZH

we I hope your ready to join the army seeing as you are talking about fighting

[IworshiptheLordJesus]

I pray every day for the Iranian Christian prisoners including Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, that the Lord Jesus may strengthen and protect them. Amen

[Oallos1]

@hexcane

Why do people warn alcoholics that alcohol can ruin their life? Why do we warn people against cocaine use? Cigarettes, etc...

There are consequences to all actions/decisions, thats why.

There are also consequences to living out your entire life ignoring God's purpose for you. Plain and simple. I agree though that some people make threats against those who reject God solely so as to control them in THIS life. Christ warns us that these individuals pose as sheep but are wolves.

[cseaavalosroger]

YOUNG MEN : YOUCEF ( IRANIAN ) IRAN WAS HUNG UNTILL DEATH BY and FOR HIS FAITH THIS PAST OCT, in 2010 , WHY ? ? ? ? For Profecing His Faith IN GOD , AND JESUS CHRIST , For Those whom , HERE IN THE STATES , BLASPHEME GOD , so FREELY , Openly , and SO BRAVELY ! ! ! , WAIT UNTILL THE NRW U. N. INTERNATIONAL LAW BECOMES INTO EFFECT in MAY OF THIS YEAR 2011 , And THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS ESTABLISHES HIS ONE WORLD ISLAMISTJIHADIST GOVERNMENT " NEW ORDER "' , JUST WAIT , IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER ,

[abjectreality]

It's always a mistake to allow countries to end up theocratic, for this is the kind or things that happen to the minorities. People are judged in their deeds, and any place that deals with apostasy in this way should be met with strong rejection.

[NephilimFree]

Christian persecution is continuously growing.

[csbair]

@NephilimFree Yes, Sporty. You should know. You think people laughing at you and being mean to you has anything to do with your religion. It has to do with you being a lowlife moron who sponges off a disabled woman and blames everyone else for his own problems. That, and you constantly lie, cover up those lies, and then say others are lying about your lies because you deleted the proof. Your persecution continues to grow.

[Oallos1]

Also, please spread the word about Said Musa, another brother facing the death penalty for his conversion from islam to christianity.

It doesn't have anything to do with ghosts and exorcism.

this is no video response, but marketing propaganda against the islamic republic.

[TheRockZH]

★ QURANIMALS never built a decent civilization. They only destroy them and bring misery, mayhem and persecution to every country.

★★★ A muslim is a follower of a totalitarian ideology that disguises itself as religion, to enjoy tolerance and freedom in societies islam has seeked to destroy for centuries. Piss-slam and Muhammad (PIG SHIT BE UPON HIM) are all about brainwashing.

/watch?v=JYpl122kay8

[Peristerygr]

@TheRockZH That is why you discriminate them there? Because they are brainwashed? Keep in mind that they had a great civilization when your predecessors in Medieval Europe were nothining but bloodthirsty animals - maybe that means "civilisation"! When Europe was in Dark Ages (7th -11th century AD) they had a civilisation which only the Byzadine one could compete it. And you with Cruisades -and later with colonianism- destroyed them both. Who is the "civilization destroyers"? Read some more!

[Peristerygr]

@TheRockZH And something else. Their civilisation let us know almost all we know about the Ancient Greeks and Romans! If they didn't exists you would know more for Ancient Egyptians than Ancient Greeks which you claim to be your "enlighters". But you are right to blame them. I they weren't exist you would live still in the middle ages where you controled entire populations and you could burn entire villages just by saying "they are heretics or blasphymers"!

They are using the name of God to make money and they do not care about God or the word of God and the poor Christians they believe the lies and keep on giving.
