Sweden: Iranian Christian ordered deported to Iran despite facing execution for apostasy there

Why are Swedish officials so anxious to deport Reza Jabbari? Why won't they explain why? Why are people with weaker cases for asylum allowed to stay in Sweden? It couldn't have anything to do with a policy of favoring the large and growing Muslim minority there, now, could it? Or are the Swedish officials in question just so certain that Islam is a Religion of Peace, and so full of the soothing nonsense of Western Islamic apologists who claim that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy, that they're certain that Reza Jabbari faces no danger in Iran?

"Swedish Officials Order Iranian Christian Deported for Second Time," by Steve Little for CBN, December 23 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An Iranian convert to Christianity seeking asylum in Sweden is once again facing deportation to Iran, according to his pastor. If he’s sent back to Iran, the convert, Reza Jebbari, could be imprisoned or even put to death for leaving Islam.
CBN News first reported on Jebbari’s case last month when Swedish authorities rejected his application for asylum and ordered him deported. A few days later, a Migration Board official announced they were halting the deportation process and granting Jebbari another hearing.

Now, Jebbari’s pastor, Cai Berger, tells CBN News that another migration official has denied the request for asylum and police are seeking to take Jebbari into custody and begin the deportation process.

Jebbari’s lawyer has already filed another appeal, but Berger says they are puzzled at the government’s persistence in its attempts to deport the Christian convert.

“It would seem that we are in a tight spot again and, quite frankly, we're at a loss as to why the Migration services are so determined to deport [him],” Berger wrote CBN News in an email. “People with weaker cases get permission to stay in Sweden, but not him.”

CBN News has yet to receive a reply to an email to the Swedish Migration Board’s press office requesting an explanation for the decision to deny asylum....

The Swedes are imposing the sharia inspired death penalty by cooperation...Since there is no death penalty for apostasy in Swedish law, turning him over to Iran, makes the Swedes accessories to murder...

The true face of the phoney humanitarians.

Sweden is a place where criminal, terrorist welfare parasites from every third world hellhole are deliberately imported to destroy western civilisation from within in the name of a global utopia, that will never be.

But along comes an apostate from Islam, one who's life is really in danger, and suddenly the whole humanitarian house of cards comes crashing down.

Awful.

contrast this with west's eagerness to take in hundreds of Afgans [who collabarated with NATO and thus supposedly in danger in a post-NATO
scenarrio]

Hmmm ...

It couldn't be that the Swedish Migration services have been infiltrated by islamic supremacists.

Or could it?

I think that's more than likely *exactly* the answer.

And as more and more Western civilisation is infiltrated by these scum, and we are stupid enough to give them positions of power, the more this sort of horrendous injustice is likely to happen.

You might be drinking some Kool-Aid on this one Robert...

The latest asylum seeker scam in Sweden is to pretend to convert to Christianity if their original application is denied in order to reapply under the brand new threat of being a persecuted minority...

It's just one more way for them to exploit Swedish naivete and keep the colonization rolling.

Avpixlat has written about this a bunch.

I wish the Swedish officials involved could face jail time if the apostate is imprisoned or killed in Iran.

Sweden is an abomination nation. Our Western democracies have been taken over by sociopaths who do not know the difference between good and evil, and keep consistently aiding evil.

My guess is that Jebbari probably SAID that homosexuality and adultery are sins.

Seeing how things have been going recently, I'm ashamed that I have Scandinavian ancestry.

One may assume that any pastor with a modicum of commonsense is going to know about the possibility of 'conversions of convenience'. Having a system like the catechumenate - a long formal period of intense and regular instruction in the new faith - would help identify and weed out candidates who were less than sincere.

Another way of weeding out fakes would be to require the new apostate to *publicly* declare his apostasy.

For that would involve being known to *Muslims* - in the country where it was done, as well as abroad - as a declared apostate. That's called burning your boats.

In addition, the apostate could be placed, so to speak, 'on parole' or 'on probation', by officialdom, and be asked to 'check in' periodically for an interview. Those who were sincere would not object because they would know, none better, why these conditions were being imposed.

We didn't automatically send back defectors from the Soviet Union and other communist countries; but neither did we rule out the possibility of their being 'double agents'. A similar judicious approach needs to be taken toward declared defectors from the Ummah.

I think That answer is an easy one, When the migration board offical is working check and see if there's a little boy working under his desk. Then you'll know if that offical has converted to islam

This is awful. Bad enough they IMPORT savage muslims( ie Malmo) and worse they're DEPORTING Christinas to their death and soon, oh so soon no Jew or Christian will be safe in Sweden and everywhere else. I've an evil feeling the dark clouds of a brutal war will begin to unleash as lucifer and his minions know the time is short(er). Call me a mystic, call me an infidel, you're both right,
signed CKinfidel.
P.S.Praying the leaders of the world grow a spine but alas, no matter how much we yell"You're going the wrong way," these fools just smile, wave, bow and gun the engine to the abyss of moral decay, of outright genocide and intolerance.

Could it be that this is a trade. Might there be a spy from Sweden who got caught, and this is what the Iranians want in order to release the Swede?
