There has been plenty of talk about the Iranian nuclear deal and its nefarious regional conduct, but it is time to pause and really think about how Tehran deals with its Christian minority.
As a Christian with Iranian ancestors, I take special interest in the plight and suffering of the Christian minority in Iran. The existence of the Christian community in Iran dates back centuries and is a major part of the history of the country. For centuries, Muslims, Christian, Jews, and Zoroastrians got along fine in Iran. We were all Iranians and our religion was not an issue at all.
After the ayatollahs took over in 1979 things changed for worse. The religious persecutions began and the restrictions became more and more institutionalized. Many Christians and Jews fled. But some stayed in their native country.
