Hard to be a Christian in Iran...

Don't know how many are aware of the Iranian's regime persecution of its religious minorities, including Christians. Apparently a pastor was sentenced to death lately for apostasy... http://bit.ly/o7O965 Thoughts?

The Christian duty of proclaiming the Gospel is something that is incredibly dangerous in certain parts of the globe. Given the smashing of reformist protest in Iran, and a moderately successful and self interested economic reform process, that dictatorship now seems particularly confident and aggressive. The Mullahs are less savage towards Christians than, say, Bahai'i followers.
