Is present-day Iran a friend of freedom loving people? Well, in Sydney, Australia ‘The 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution was celebrated on Saturday 16 February at the Civic Theatre in Hurstville highlighting the great progress made in the field of education, health, women’s empowerment, defence, science and technology and self-sufficiency since the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The invited guests and supporters at the event hosted by the World Ahlul Bait Assembly, Australia was addressed by academics, diplomats, interfaith and community leaders.
The program was started off by the MC Mr Talal Toby with Acknowledgment of the Country followed by recitation of Quran by Mr Mustafa Ashrafi and national anthems of Australia and Iran.’
‘The final and keynote speaker at the event was the newly arrived Iranian Ambassador to Australia, Dr Fereidoun Haghbin who praised the organisers for hosting the event and thanked the various speakers before him for enumerating the various achievements of the Islamic Republic and commenting on each speech.’ https://www.amust.com.au/2019/02/sydney-marks-40-years-of-islamic-revolution/
Those Muslims who identify with the online Australiasian Muslim Times believe Iran is a much better place after the revolution but are they correct? The simple answer is ‘No’ for it seems one objective of the Iranian Islamic government is to drive ‘…the practice of Christianity into the shadows. Their mistreatment not only keeps Christians on edge and terrified; it also prevents them from spreading their gospel in a public manner and adding others to their faith. The Iranian government views Christians who stay in the country as outsiders, so it treats them as such.’ https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13757/iran-persecution-christians
While Muslims have the freedom we all enjoy here in Australia Christians in Iran do not! What hypocrisy Australasian Muslim Times!
