Iranian-born Muslims who converted to Christianity are breathing new
spiritual life into communities across Germany, where they are fleeing
to increasing numbers to escape persecution back home.
Men and women, who have been sentenced to the lash or worse for
apostasy – converting from Islam – are forming a thriving community of
Christian ex-pats in German cities and towns. The Iranian immigrants
seek asylum, or simply pay up to $30,000 to enter the country illegally
with a fake passport, a new name and plans to start their lives over in
new churches.
“The growing number of Iranian Christians fleeing their homeland to
come to Germany should alarm us that Iran’s regime is getting more and
more radicalized and repressive – on a daily basis,” Saba Farzan, a
German-Iranian expert on human rights, told FoxNews.com.
