| From CompassDirect Iranian police invaded the annual general conference of Iran's Assemblies of God Church yesterday, arresting at least 80 church leaders gathered at the church's denominational center in Karaj, 20 miles west of Tehran. Without warning, a large number of policemen surrounded the church's garden property yesterday morning, bursting in to arrest all the men and women present at the first day of their annual meetings. "The police came from everywhere," one Iranian Christian said, "and there were a lot of them." "Every single person present was put under arrest, blindfolded and taken in for interrogation," an Iranian source confirmed to Compass today. The detained Christians were driven around blindfolded for several hours so they would be unable to understand where they were being taken. Reportedly each individual was questioned separately by security officials, who had a specific list of questions. The interrogation revealed that the authorities had very precise information about each person, including his or her activities, relatives and other personal data. |

| #3 PlanetDan, you've got it all wrong. Please try and remember that to all Arab nations, the state of Israel does not exist. Therefore, how could they possibly even have such things as equal "rights of assembly and worship?" I hope this clears things up for you. |

| #2 hahaha!!! And the world says Israel is racist cuz it wants a Jewish state. A state, mind you, where Christians and Moslems have the SAME rights of assembly and worship as do Jews, including the right to elect their own representatives. what HYPOCRISY!!!!! |

| #1 As I suspected, the only real "debate" is over whether they should use a few really big rocks or lots of smaller ones while stoning these Christians to death. This is yet another reason to decap the mullahs right away. |
