Read, pray, think

First, read the linked article regarding the imminent execution of an Iranian pastor for refusing to renounce his Christian faith.

Then pray, if you will.  For surely, this man faces his darkest hour, yet he stands firm in his faith.  May the Lord bless and keep your soul, Youcef Nadarkhani.

Now, think about this part of the linked article in the context of continuing efforts to bring shari'a to America and place it on a par with Constitutional law.  Emphasis is mine.

Although apostasy is not an offense in the Iranian penal code, the country’s constitution includes a clause (article 167) that says if the basis for a judicial ruling does not exist in the law, judges must turn to “authoritative Islamic sources and authentic fatwa.”

But don't worry.  Islam is a 'religion of peace...'

Islamic scholars who argue for the death penalty for apostasy cite texts like sura 4:89 of the Qur’an, which urges Muslims to seize and kill those who turn away. A hadith (the traditional writings and sayings of Mohammed) quotes the prophet as saying, “Any [Muslim] person who has changed his religion, kill him.”

Not in my country.  Not on my watch.  Not now, not ever.  لن استسلم .
