“Young boy’s gift of Christian books to classmates leads to massive fines for parents,” Keep the Faith, July 3, 2019:
A six-year-old boy who took Christian booklets to school as gifts for classmates landed his parents in trouble with authorities in Azerbaijan.
The boy’s act led to the head teacher calling the police who then raided the parents’ home, seizing Bibles, Christian pamphlets and CDs of worship songs.
The police also discovered that, on New Year’s Eve 2018, the Christian couple, Safqan and Gulnar Mammadov, had held a Christian event for children at their home and that twelve youngsters had each received a party gift of sweets and a picture book about the birth of Jesus.
A pastor who was present at the party was also interrogated by police, who later searched his home and seized all the items of Christian literature they could find.
The couple were charged with possessing religious literature that did not bear a government “control mark” and holding a children’s meeting in violation of a law that relates to punishing “clergy and members of religious associations holding special meetings for children and young people”.
The Mammadovs were each fined 1,500 manats (£700; €785; $880) on 16 April, which is more than three months’ average wages for salaried work in Azerbaijan.
Their appeals against the fines were rejected on 4 June by the Shirvan Appeal Court.
“The court hearing lasted only 10 minutes and issued an unfair decision,” said a Christian familiar with the case. The couple may now make a direct appeal to President Ilham Aliyev….

AZERBAIJAN’S POLICY : Freedom of religion for me, but not for thee.
However, Article 18 of the UDHR states that “everyone has the right to freedom of religion, freedom to change his religion and freedom to manifest his religion in teaching, practice, worship and observance.”
mortimer says
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, states that:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and IMPART INFORMATION and IDEAS through any media and regardless of frontiers.
WR Xavier says
Islamic Majority Countries do not subscribe to the UDHR they subscribe to the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights, all of which are outlined based on Sharia Law.
With that understanding, what the Government did does not breach the CDHR because under Sharia it’s illegal for Christians to try to tempt Muslims away from Islam.

Anyone…ANYONE…who thinks this is a religion of peace needs to have their head examined.
Go watch “Captain Phillips” and see the mentality of those Somali terrorists. The United States is the last best hope to keep the concept of Liberty alive.

The last best hope against Islam is not the US but China.

China? Are you not reading the news? Christian churches are being shut down. Home worship is banned and homes are raided. Christians, Falun Gong, Muslims, and who knows who else are ALL being sent to gulag equivalents. Falun Gong claim their adherents are being organ harvested, possibly without anesthesia.
China? Who now controls the port facilities of the US in many ports, both ends of the canal zone, the Panama Canal, ports up and down the west coast of Mexico, in the Bahamas, even in Israel? Oh, China was caught 20 years ago sending shipping containers full of military grade weapons, including full auto and RPG’s to US drug gangs. Look it up.
China, Kim’s puppet master? China, building islands replete with radar, missiles, barracks, and airfields in the South China sea, far from the mainland? Ask the largely Christian Filipinos how well that is working out.
Oh, that China, that was given our technology and factories by the Rinos and Dems since Nixon. They nukes but no way to deliver them until Bill Clinton gave the approval to export our dual use missile guidance and satellite launching technology. Now, they (and DPRK puppets) can hit the US with nuclear tipped ICBM’s. Funny thing, China owned Riady banks in Indonesia gave mucho dinero to Bill Clinton’s campaign. He had to give it back, but I think that was before he got the brilliant idea to set up a foundation. Sorry, I digress.
Yes, China will rescue us from Islam. Meanwhile they jumped into bed with Pakistan, that bastion of freedom and defender of Christians and other minority groups. They have supplied missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads to Saudi Arabia.
T: I sincerely hope your comment was sarcasm. If I read it wrong, I humbly apologize.

Guy, i’m pretty sure that he was referring to the “re-education” camps for the uighurs. they are also taking children away from muslims, so that in a generation, there won’t be any muslim uighurs.
U have to admit that the chinese dictatorship doesn’t fool around appeasing the religion of pieces. the thing that surprises me is that they aren’t just killing them all; the Party has a history of killing millions without blinking, so i would call this generous on their part. this way, when a commie uighur looks back on his foggy early childhood memories of his parents, he will be assured by the Party that they received the best of treatment, right up until they died. besides, his *real* parents, who adopted him, will be the parents about whom he really cares.
as for killing christians, the process only separates the wheat from the chaff. those who *really* believe won’t stop believing, although they’ll likely learn better ways to hide. the Party may be cracking down, but from what i have read, there will probably be more christians inside china than outside within 10 or so years. falun gong, with its focus on morality, is also resistant to eradication.
finally, the chinese are in bed with the pakistanis because it makes an ally, however temporary, of a country that until recently was a u.s. ally. even if little is done in concert with the land of the “pure,” the chinese benefit by gaining access – and therefore potential influence – to both pakistan and afghanistan, and because of the neighborhood, india.
in any case, i’m pretty sure that the Party isn’t going to tolerate any competition for the levers of power. given the success of the opposition to islam everywhere else (virtually none), i suspect that china will, indeed, be the last civilized – somewhat – man standing. like all dictatorships, the successors to the current dictator will likely be less and less commie, and more and more like a king or emperor. not that life will improve for the average chinese, or the average non-chinese living in a country dominated by them, but from such beginnings *our* freedom came. the nations dominated by islam, OTOH, will forever be s**tholes of war, death, and depravity; the only successes islam has are those claimed by the ummah from its kuffar victims. hindu-arabic numerals? no, they’re *HINDU* numerals that savvy arab traders realized were better than roman numerals. no *muslim* invented them; it was a sindhi (hindu) invention! nothing good *E*V*E*R* come from the s**thole of islam, which is everything that a civilization is not, but freedom can, and has, flowered from the dungheap of authoritarianism.
CRUSADER says
That action is far more than what gets done to illegals in USA:
———————————————————————————-
The Washington Post recently published an article about Prince George’s County Police Department’s policy on releasing illegal immigrants they encounter who are found to have warrants for their arrest.
In an instructional video linked in the article, Maryland’s Prince George’s County Police Chief Henry Stawinski and FOP president John Teletchea instruct police officers that they are not to cooperate with federal warrants for “civil” matters involving illegal immigrants. Chief Stawinski states, “Let’s be clear, the intent of this policy is to keep both you, and our community, safe.” This statement is laughable. Even worse, it’s dangerous, shortsighted and unforgivable.
Let me be clear. What Chief Stawinski and FOP president Teletchea are really saying is this. “The intent of this policy is to protect illegal immigrants, not our officers or the community we serve. We would rather wait until illegal immigrants have had a chance to commit a violent crime against our officers, our local community or other innocent American citizens and legal immigrants before we cooperate with the federal government in removing them.”
It is well documented that illegal immigrants comprise 30 percent to 40 percent of our federal prison population. There are also thousands of illegal immigrants locked up in state, county and city jails throughout the United States.
Incarcerating illegal immigrants costs American taxpayers billions of dollars every year. These prisoners must be housed, fed, cared for and guarded. None of that is cheap and none of them are even supposed to be here. Think about how many American lives and how much taxpayer money we could save if they were actually deported rather than protected and allowed to stay here.
Who is looking out for the thousands upon thousands of innocent American crime victims who have been attacked, injured or killed by illegal immigrants? Who is looking out for the millions of identity theft victims after an illegal immigrant has turned their lives upside down by using their social security numbers to gain employment? Who is looking out for the American taxpayer who has to fund all this nonsense? It certainly isn’t Henry Stawinski or John Teletchea.
What police departments like Prince George’s County have really done is create a specially protected class of people who can’t be touched until they victimize someone criminally. Illegal immigrants enjoy benefits that no American citizen or legal immigrant enjoys.
If you, as an American citizen, don’t pay your taxes or don’t pay a civil traffic fine do you think you’re going to be given a free pass? Not likely. Since traffic infractions are mostly “civil” offenses, does this mean that residents of Prince George’s County don’t have to pay the fines and can ignore court appearances? And if not, why not?
A warrant would only be issued for a “civil” infraction. Will Stawinski or Teletchea be held responsible when an illegal alien they order released into the community commits a violent crime? This has happened time and time again all over the United States when local police departments refuse to honor ICE detainers and warrants of arrest for illegal aliens. Kate Steinle is just one example. There is no reason whatsoever that Steinle shouldn’t still be with us today. Her life was taken by a violent criminal illegal immigrant because local police refused to turn him over to ICE before he could kill her. Think about that.
I want to be clear that my two decades of experience with rank-and-file police officers around the country shows that their opinions depart sharply from the dangerous rhetoric some of their command staff puts out. The vast majority of officers on the street, the ones actually enforcing the laws and not sitting behind a desk kowtowing to activists, want our laws enforced. They see the havoc that is wreaked upon this country by an out of control illegal alien population.

The fruit of communist USSR did not fall far from the tree. I wonder, can you own a computer, typewriter, copying machines, or printers in Azerbaijan? You could not in the land of the free, on paper only, the old USSR.
BTW, if anyone thinks Putin is going to be anyone’s savior, good luck. Putin is looking out only for Putin.

LOL, is this all? Azerbaijan is a weak country. These countries need to grow some balls and implement sharia full force.
gravenimage says
It seems that “Muslim2019” is enraged that these Christians were not murdered for daring to say they love Jesus.
As though it takes balls to persecuted tiny non-violent minorities. This is how Muslims think.
On another thread where his coreligionists were mass slaughtering Christians in Nigeria, “Muslim2019” was gloating over Muslims destroying Christianity and all other non-Muslim faiths.
Muslim2019 says
The fitna of shirk is worse than slaughter.
gravenimage says
This is Qur’an 2:191:
“Slay them wherever you may catch them and expel them from the place from which they expelled you. The sin of disbelief in God is greater than committing murder…Then slay them for it is the recompense that the disbelievers deserve.”
This means that mass murdering people who do not believe in the savagery of Islam is prescribed for pious Muslims.
“Muslim2019” is just enraged that this little boy and his family were not all murdered. God, I hate Islam.
Angemon says
“The fitna of shirk is worse than slaughter.”
This verse was revealed when a non-nuslim civilian was murdered during a muslim raid on a Meccan trade caravan. It was conveniently “revealed” to justify the killing of the non combatant, because non-nuslims do Fitna – and so muhammad could have his 20% cut of the good the muslims stole from the Meccans…

Poor little boy! His parents would have quite rightly taught him that he was being kind bringing other children to the gentle Jesus who said ”suffer little children to come unto me.”

My dad died in 1996 at the age of 96. He lost his parents and a baby brother during first world war to the Muslims thugs. He used to say the worst Christian haters are the turkish speaking Azeri’s. My dad was born in north-western of Iran, which is called West Azeri.
tgusa says
I have been thinking about this kind young boy and his families predicament and I would like to pay the fine, 880 US, if I could do it anonymously, you know how those muslims can be. And perhaps another 440 US just for being a great little guy. I would even pay more to have a face to face in neutral territory with the rotten teacher if it would indeed submit. Probably wouldn’t though.
