Sweden plans to deport Christian actress … to Ir

Now I don't think it's entirely true after forethought that this is a faith issue, but legally an accepting should be made for her.

I strongly believe that this is persecution against Christians from Muslim nations

Sweden is violating a United Nations human-rights treaty in its attempt to deport a prominent Iranian actress who revealed her conversion from Islam to Christianity after arriving in the European nation

The planned deportation is part of Sweden’s attempt to tamp down the backlash to its admission of huge numbers of migrants from Muslim nations.

“In a worrying new trend...decisions on asylum appear to be influenced not just by human rights but also by government targets, with little or no recognition of the specific persecution faced by Christian minorities in countries such as Iran,” Barnabas Fund said.

A lawyer working on her case, Gabriel Donner, told Barnabas Fund the government officials “do not care” about injuries they may create.

“They have promised the public in Sweden that they will deport more people than before and so they have to fill the quota.”

Donner said many Swedish officials are so ignorant of religion and Christianity they assume it’s simply a lifestyle choice.

“A convert says, ‘I converted because of the love I received from Jesus Christ,’ and they almost mockingly ask the convert, ‘What do you mean by love?’

They don’t understand the message in the Bible. It’s just completely alien to them,” he said.

The U.N. convention disallows sending a refugee back to a nation where “they face serious threats to their life or freedom.”

What a dishonest thread title.
The exact opposite is true: it's not because of her faith. It is in spite of her faith.
Her faith beliefs are entirely irrelevant in the reason why she's being deported.

I'll leave it in the middle how this is called a violation of human rights / international law / whatever - that's not the point.

I just don't see why you would so dishonestly misrepresent this.

The human rights / international treaty stuff is more then enough food for a discussion and more then enough reason to judge Sweden's decision.

It simply is not true that her religious beliefs are any kind of a factor here.

It is all part of the Greater war on/against Christianity.

If Sweden is known for anything other then good looking blonde women, it certainly is for their secularism and tendency to not give a hoot about people's private, personal religious beliefs. And Ibrahimovic, off course. Aka "Ibracadabra"

I love Sweden.

I love Sweden.

These days it's more known for those good looking blonde women being brutally raped by economic migrants of the islamic type to the point that many of those good looking blondes are dying their hair black to avoid being attacked.

You are being redirected...

But those are not the migrants Sweden is looking for. I don't think even a Jedi could create that much cognitive dissonance. Maybe there is something to this islam thing after all...

You know.... when you say such things while complaining about discrimination against christians - your hypocracy is kind of showing.

And psssst: the rate at which women in america are harrassed and raped by bible believing americans, is countless times higher.

But hey.... let's not mention that. Let's just pretend to being persecuted while it really isn't the case and if in the process we can talk a bit thrash about muslims, all the better, right?

I'll just take this as another example of that wonderfull "christian love and respect" I keep hearing about.
