Iran Cracks Down On Underground 'Illegal' Churches

THE JERUSALEM POST: Iranian media reports blame "Zionist propaganda" for targeting vulnerable Muslims, converting them to Christianity.

Iranian security forces in Shiraz dismantled a network of four underground 'house churches' on Sunday night, and arrested their leaders, according to reports in Iran's media.

A Monday report by the Persian-language service Fars News, which is close to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), described the churches as a 'network of criminals' which exploited vulnerable people.

"Most people attracted to these networks come from weak and vulnerable segments of society, who have psychological, emotional and economic problems," the report said, echoing a recent warning by a prominent Qom cleric. » | Joanna Paraszczuk | Monday, October 15, 2012
