Christmas in Iran
ISFAHAN, Jan. 1 (MNA) -The Iranian Christian minority in Isfahan and Tehran
celebrated the New Year’s Day on Thursday, Jan. 1 2013 during a religious
ceremony in churches.Islam has called Muslims to respect the rights of
religious minorities in countries with a Muslim majority, and in Iran,
Muslims have had peaceful relations with Christians and Jews.
Religious minorities enjoy full freedom in practice of their religious
ceremonies, while Saudi Arabia, ruled by Wahhabism and Salafism (instances
of false innovations in Islam), has forbidden its people from
congratulating the New Year, let alone allowing minorities observance of
their ceremonies.
Syrian terrorists, backed by Saudi Arabia, have displayed cruelty toward
Syria’s Christian minority. In addition to FSA terrorists’ brutally
slaughtering of a Syrian citizen and throwing his head before dogs, one of
their leaders had rejoiced for having killed 100 Christians.
The Salafist reading of Islam has been a favorite of the US for its fanatic
atrocities. The US has always supported these groups and Saudi Arabia to
show a false and harsh image of Islam.
