Report: Iranian Christian Rejects Offer To Be Released From Prison If He Accepts Muhammad As a “Messenger Sent By God”…
Prayers for Youcef Nadarkhani.
TEHRAN, IRAN (BosNewsLife) — Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has rejected an offer to be released from prison if he publicly acknowledges Islam’s prophet Mohammed as “a messenger sent by God” well-informed Christians and rights activists said Friday, January 13.
Iranian authorities reportedly summoned lawyers for Pastor Nadarkhani to his home city of Rasht on December 30, to explain the deal. Local officials indicated they would release the pastor if he agreed to make the statement about Mohammed, Christians with close knowledge about the situation explained.
“However, Pastor Nadarkhani has refused to do so, and remains in prison awaiting a final decision on his case,” confirmed advocacy group Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) in a statement to BosNewsLife.
Christians said the pastor has made clear that making the demanded statement about Muhammed would amount to abandoning his faith in Jesus Christ.

He should take a page from the Quaran and lie to his enemies!
He has great courage. Obysmal could learn a lot from him.
@ Imanfidel
Took the words right out from under me.
The Muslim would say yes & then revert to old behavior. the Christian will die for his faith. The difference between a true martyr & a Shit-bag er um… I mean Shaheed…
On 2nd thought I meant sack-o-shit. Sorry I insulted any bags of shit.
Our prayers go out to this brave man.
Courageous, G_d Bless.
The good pastor is headed for a place no muslim will ever see.
I’m surprised that Buraq hasn’t joined in the call for him to bow down to MooHamHead (piss be upon him).
@Rufus:
More interesting is the dead silence from the self proclaimed “Christian” in the WH as to the dire circumstances of his fellow Christians. Unless of course he isn’t a Christian.
Mat.32-33 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.
God bless Pastor Nadarkhani.
More men like him refuse to ecept a false god and false prophet We need more of his kind
Dear Lord protect this man from the evil that surrounds him. Deliver him from your enemies and return him to those who love him. Judge those that persecute your servants and reveal to them the error of their ways.
Ahmen.
God blesses you Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani.
You are the ideal all Christians should get behind.
Amazing. Also, the comments are great on this thread. Can any one of us possibly imagine Unibummer standing this strong? Can any of us imagine standing that strong w/what he is facing?
Once again, we know that if he doesn’t renounce he’ll likely have something in common with John the Baptist.
Which then, we think “who is barabaric”?
This fellow has an unbreakable faith. The Muslims know that if they execute him they martyr him, and provide a stark contrast between a faith based on love and another based on hate.
Where are CAIR’s endless twitters, calling for tolerance?
Not even a peep from the Sec of state, another “Christian.” Too busy apologizing for the dead nuke scientist and trumping up outrage over a few Marines taking a leak.
I can not even imagine this mans situation. But stand tall. God Loves You.
Many Prayers for you and your Family.
God Bless You!
@ dba…vagabond trader…
Where did you get the idea that Buraq was a Christian?
He’s a muzz through and through. He faked Christianity because he knew in 2008 that he couldn’t get elected as a muzz.
He fakes it now just to keep up the pretense, until we throw him out next year.
Then watch him go back to his true religion, Islam.
If these bastards kill this man I demand the Pope IMMEDIATELY canonize Youcef Nadarkhani to sainthood.
If you accept the fact that islam’s god is Satan, then it entirely accurate to say that Mohammad was a “messenger sent by [g]od.” Only Satan would send a pedophile, warlord, liar, and thief as his messenger.
And even just from a human rights and civil liberties viewpoint, this is insane! Surreal!
The totalitarian states of pisslam are the ugliest and darkest places on earth.
Freedom of thought!!! Let this man be!
May any confluence of prayers and positive energies affect the outcome of this man’s plight in his immediate release to freedom and the right to live his life as he pleases. How can a government do this to a citizen and human being??? It’s stunning, the coercion against and punishment for freedom of thought!!!
Smart man; “For what does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his soul?”
Christ said; “I am the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but by me.” (John 14:6) There’s only ONE WAY. It’s not Mohammed of Allah or Buddha or crystals or good behavior. It is through Christ and Him alone. Muslims are going to hell, not because they are “bad” people but because they have rejected the truth of Christ’s sacrifice and atonement. Actually, that’s why all the people who are headed for hell are going there – not for what they’ve done, but for what they won’t do.
Islam is a cult and of the devil. Allah is ACTUALLY Satan.
God bless this man.
Pray for him.
What a brave hero.
Thank you ZIP for keeping us appraised of his case and other atrocities perpetrated on Christians worldwide.
God bless you and Pastor Nadarkhani.
What a contrast to the sleazy imps we’re dealing with ..
God blesses you Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani.
Unbelievable, he could lie and move on. Though he chose the path . It’s so very sad it has to come to this. Isn’t there anything that can be done to help him? Is he being abandoned?! Am serious!!
A few years ago they made a movie MUHAMED MESSENGER OF GOD created quite a incedent and it bombed big time
“There shall be no coercion in Religion.”
Just another lie from The Religion of Peace.
This is a great and decent man. A role model for my kids.
Muhammad was nothing but a human just like all of the rest of us except for Jesus. God is trying to reach each and every one of us and is able to work to accomplish this through each and every one of us. Whether Muhammad was or any of us are yielding himself or ourselves to be used of God and whether he or us will live forever more with God is God’s decision alone. Either way it is no human’s purpose to pretend themselves or any other human God. All human’s only purpose is to glorify the Creator, the One who brought us into being by His word and the One that has, does, and, if we are to continue, will continue to sustain us.
Mohammed was a manipulative criminal warlord sent from hell. There is nothing divine about that child rapist.
How highly honored this man is to suffer for the namesake of Jesus Christ!
Continue to pray for our brother in Christ. He is very courageous, and is an example for all of us. May his witness and pure love for Jesus Christ spread to the prisoners and keepers there in Iran. He is like the Apostle Paul in prison, for the further spread of the gospel!
