Who else could be behind something the mullahs don’t like, but the Zionists?
“Iranian House Churches Deemed Zionist Cults,” International Christian Concern, January 31, 2021:
01/31/2021 Iran (International Christian Concern) – Pro-regime news outlet Fars News Agency released a report that a “Zionist” network was “dismantled” for “creating moral deviations” and “promoting conversions”.
Iran recognizes, at least theoretically, Christianity as one of the three minority religions. However, in practice, the country often deems house churches and other Christians as Zionist cults and falsifies terrorism charges against them. Iran’s legal code forbids the changing of one’s religion, punishable by death. There are currently 24 Christians who are either in prison or facing charges according to the recent UN report.
Yet, despite the heavy persecution and charges brought against Iranian Christians, and particularly those of Muslim faith background, Christianity is not suppressed to the point of extinction. The state’s official numbers claim that the country is 99.5% Muslim. Unofficial, yet widely acknowledged, surveys report that the actual percentage of Christians in the country may be closer to 1.5%….

Lo and behold they do! and you would be surprised to find out that in an independent survey (not controlled by the ayatollahs) 43% of Iranians declared themselves as Ex-Muslims.
That explains the clerics decrying house churches “Zionist Cults”. Coming from the slaves of the biggest cult it is the height of hypocrisy. Not surprising.
Since they are shameless liars.
William Tyson says
Do Muslims not realize that outside of some Protestants in America, Christians are not exactly synonymous with Zionism/Judaism? Yes they share aspects just as Islam borrows from both, but Jews dont believe in Jesus at all or the new testament as a whole. Is it just more convenient to think of all enemies as one? What next, Hinduism is a Zionist religion?
SJ says
To them, anything non-Muslim is haraam, and thus Zionist. 😀
james Ross says
William, there are many Jews who believe in Jesus and Christianity. To say Jews dont believe in Jesus at all is incorrect.

There are ethnic Jews who have embraced Christianity–for instance, the group “Jews for Jesus”. But those who follow Judaism are not Christians.
Eur says
“Live and let live” for Muslims is also Zionism.
Honest Ali says
When your religion is so horrible, you have to force people to be part of it.
Of course, the mainstream media will mention none of this.
Walter Sieruk says
That the mullahs and the other Muslim clerics of Iran make that claims that those charges are “zionist cults” is just an excuse to come down hard with Islamic persecution against Christians, because as it’s been wisely said “Evil is always looking for an excuse. ”
Concerning the subject of the persecution regarding the harassment and imprisonment and even torture of Christians of Iran further expose the intolerant brutal and murderous “mullah regime “ of Iran
First, it would be naive not to understand the those mullahs and ayatollahs didn’t have a hand in having their stooges , who are Islamic state police, the Revolutionary Guard s arrest many Christians because those in power in the Islamic tyranny are ruthless and cruel.
Second, this is further proof that Islam is such a weak and fragile religion that the arrest of those few Christians was felt necessary by the ayatollah, mullah and imams of Iran. For those Muslim clerics are afraid that if the Iranian people even have a chance to examine and thus compare and contrast the Bible and the Quran the people of Iran might discover that the Bible of the super of those two books.
Since the foundation for the tyrannical regime of the Islamic “Republic” of Iran is based on the Quran, which is also the entire foundation for of Islam, the Muslim clerics fear that their power base might collapse. So the arrests and sentencing to death of Christians reveals extreme fear those Muslim clerics have of the Bible, For this also show that those Muslim clerics in power in that “mullahs regime” of Iran will use .the Islamic state police and their tools to stop Christians and keep the Iranian people in in ignorance of the Bible and in the darkness of Islam.
Third, those mullahs and ayatollahs and imams of Iran with their falsehoods and deceptions of the many false doctrines of Islam in which they brainwash the Iranian people in believing is something that is both sad and tragic. Those ayatollahs and mullahs are, no doubt, just as deluded as the people who they thoroughly indoctrinate with false teachings of Islam. Of such demonic deception by false teachers who are also deluded such men a have been predicted in the Bible. For in the Bible it’s written that “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.” Second Timothy 3:13. [K.J.V.]
All those mullahs and ayatollahs are, according to the doctrines of the Bible, Isaiah 8:20. false religious teachers .Meaning false teachers who teach and indoctrinate the false doctrines of the false religion of Islam into the hearts and minds of others . Such false teachers are described in the Bible ,in Second Peter 2:1. “There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
In addition, it should be make clear that in the context and meaning of the above Bible verse Second Peter 2:1. The word “destruction” does not mean “loss of being but loss of well-being ,as the destruction of well- being . That is “going to ruin” by ending up and a terrible place of awful suffering which the Bible call hell, Luke 16:19-31.

I guess hating Christians is not enough all by itself–now Muslims have to blame Jews for Christianity…
