The church prayed for Iran today.

I noticed a man I had never seen before. He wiped his face with open palms as we sang our songs and when the prayer for Iran was offered tears began to flow down his cheeks. After the service I went to introduce myself. He didn't speak much English because he hadn't learned any English in his homeland - Iran. He still has family in Iran and prays for them daily. War is so evil.

@Monalisasmith86 Not for the the average Iranian on the streets of Tehran like this fellow was.

@justanothername If you listened to American propaganda you might believe that. The fact was that the shah was a terrible individual who killed and imprisoned thousands of Iranians. His secret police is often compared to the KGB. The Islamic Republic was a popular choice of the people and like the beginning of all such states escaping evil the new leaders tend to over react. Look at France during their time of getting rid of the king if you doubt me. If not then look at the puritans of England fame when they got rid of Charles the 1th.

@Monalisasmith86 From your first comment about the man not speaking English. About the man being an Iranian spy. About how evil Iran is.
