Have we heard enough about injustices around the world to the point that we just want to ignore them? Do we even believe these stories or think that they are concocted by sensationalist media?
Do we find our morning coffee bittered with news of fresh oppressions suffered around the globe?
What about the drive to work? Do we reach to turn the radio to another station that does not disturb our fragile peace?

This is how THEY succeed.

The famous writer Elie Wiesel wrote:

“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.”

Baha’u’llah wrote:

“Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression.”

The oppressed in modern Iran are not just Baha’is. They are also Christians and Muslims, young men and women who do not fit the mold.

As stated by the national administrative body of the Baha’is of the United States, “Let us press on until they can enjoy the same precious freedoms we all too often take for granted.”

Please pray and call for the release of Pastor Youcef Nadarkahni, a Muslim convert to Christianity, who is sentenced to death for apostasy.
