re: War Officially ERUPTS In Iran - Will The US and/or Israel Protect the PEOPLE?

The world is possibly significantly changing before our eyes.

The Great Awakening is a tangible thing, more than just a slogan or conspiracy theory to be ridiculed by those who have no faith.

Millions, including myself, have been watching the most organic cry to liberty in my lifetime. Having very close Armenian & Persian friends, whom we consider family, it hits home. It’s beautiful, those people have balls, which it turns out has never gone out of style.

The Great Awakening aspect I was referencing in Iran is more than just the populace’s condemnation of the Mullahs and the Islamic Republic, but of Islam itself. Christianity has exploded in Iran even under the penalty of death, our Lord & Savior is a living God who walks among his flock even now.

quote:

Essentially, in the blink of an eye, Iran transformed from a playground into a prison. Apostasy — leaving Islam — became a crime punishable by death.

Churches were outlawed, converts were hunted, and Farsi Bibles became contraband. Any challenge to the regime’s authority was swiftly and brutally crushed.

Yet today, despite every effort, Christianity is exploding. Rather incredibly, Iran now has one of the fastest-growing Christian populations in the world. Not in grand cathedrals. Not in public squares. But underground, spreading quietly and carefully. Most Christian churches are outlawed. There are official church buildings for the traditional Armenian and Assyrian Christian minorities, and their clergy are allowed to wear robes. For the most part, however, it’s just ordinary Iranians — students, workers even former mullahs — who have seen the darkness of the Islamic Republic and want something else. Many have turned to Christianity after having visions and dreams of Christ. It happens so often that the regime has publicly warned against it, spooked by a phenomenon it cannot fully control. Others convert because they have tasted the cruelty of their rulers. They have lived under forty years of Islamic law. They have seen its corruption, its hypocrisy, its bloodshed. They are fed up. They want freedom. And the more the government cracks down, the more the underground church grows.

This occurs amid increasing unrest throughout the country. The youth —many disillusioned, desperate and defiant — are rejecting not just the Islamic Republic, but Islam itself.

Decades of oppression have created a backlash. The 2022 protests following the murder of Mahsa Amini were not just about hijabs; they were about an entire generation suffocating under a regime that has stolen their future.

For years, young Iranians have watched their country decay under the weight of inept leadership and rigid religious rule. Opportunities are scarce, dissent is met with violence and even the smallest acts of personal freedom — listening to Western music, holding hands in public, questioning religious authority — are policed with excessive force.

The ambitions of their parents' generation, who once hoped for a prosperous, modern Iran, have been reduced to survival under an unforgiving theocracy. Many young people see no future for themselves in the country they call home. Some turn to escape — risking their lives to flee the country. Others resist in the streets. But a growing number are turning to a faith that cannot be controlled by clerics or crushed by secret police. Although the Ayatollahs have responded with bullets, prison cells, and executions, sheer force can only do so much against an idea whose time has come. The regime is losing its grip. The Islamic Republic has long ruled through force and fear. Yet, as disillusionment spreads, hope — ironically enough — takes root. In this context, Christianity is not just a religion. It is an act of defiance

Islam needs a reformation.
Christians did it.

Yep. There have been several reforms in Christianity - most notably the Gregorian Reformation of the 11th century and the Tridentine Reformation of the 16th Century. But in order to truly change Islam it will require more than a reformation but a revolution because Islamic doctrine is Islamic doctrine. They'd need something akin to the Protestant Revolt to invent new doctrine.

One leftist gets shot for running over a fed and it overshadows everything

If the military sees the imported Arab mercenaries killing Persians in drives they could switch sides. This us where Trump would be justified in stepping in

frick MN for taking the spotlight. Iran should be the top news story worldwide

Why any of them? Iranians brought these mullahs to power. They did so consciously and with really no outside help at the time......let them get rid of the mullahs on their own

It is in the direct interest of the US to help take out that evil Islamic regime in Iran.

And it can likewise be said that it is in the best direct interest of the United States to disentangle with many of these despotic Islamic regimes. Our nation’s corrupt economic and military pact with the House of Saud is in many ways the wellspring of the continuing crisis.

“Blood for Oil” has always been a misnomer: the United States has NEVER fought these wars of perpetuity for oil. There are enough known energy reserves in the Western Hemisphere for our nation to wean itself from dependency on Middle Eastern oil.

“Blood for Greenbacks” is another story altogether. Our entire monetary system is dependent on manipulation and violent coercion to insure the USD remains the world’s reserve currency.

Since at least the end of the Cold War, one of the largest criminal conspiracies against the American people and the Constitution has been the damnable lie that American lives should be risked by inserting our nation’s troops into these ancient sectarian conflicts in distant lands. Nothing fundamentally changes until this nation returns to sound monetary policies.

Wrong, it was the commies and then the mullahs joined in. There were more people demonstrating in support of the Shah than against him. Jimmah Carter had the Shah removed. The NYT even ran an op ed supporting Khomeini.

In the last year 2/3 of the mosques closed in Iran due lack of goers. The nation is at most 20% moslem. There have been massive conversions to Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism over the last few years.

The most hated man in Iran besides Khomeini is Tucker the Stupid Phucker sucking authoritarian dictator cocks around the world

In short you mean “blood for Israel”. This is the reason we keep getting involved in these conflicts.

I think you are engaging in extreme revisionist history by saying the "commies"......yo should go back and check the history before you start blaming Carter and muh "commies" for the mullahs.

Not in the least. Russia long had commie presence in Iran and especially universities. That's how Mossadegh almost took over in the 1950's. I was around when it went down with Iranian friends who had family back there.

Khomeini and his lot had less use for for people like Mossadegh by 1977 than they had for the Shah....plus he was dead by 1967. Like I said you really are not being factual on what happened if you want to blame Communists for the mullahs.

We should stay out, what happens internally in Iran is NONE of our business....or it should be NONE of our business.
