Threats to Iranian Christians

An excerpt from the Religion News Blog :

“Militants with suspected ties to Iranian security forces have threatened to kill nearly a dozen evangelical Christians who fled Iran unless they “repent” and return to Islam.

At least 11 Iranian Christians received electronic mail messages from ‘The Unknown Soldiers Of The Hidden Imam’ calling on them to either repent or face extra-judicial execution.”

The Hidden Imam“, also known as the 12th Imam, is a Messiah-figure in Shia Twelver theology and is viewed as the Great Allah.
