  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

This is not just for the Iranian people but this is what I know.

A co-worker (originally from Iran) was listening to Persian radio over the weekend. She said when the people of Iran heard that President Bush was re-elected, they were celebrating in the streets. They were attacked by the police and beaten. She does not know if they were taken to jail or if anyone ended up in the hospital.

It's bad over there, and she said the people are reaching the point where they are closing to an uprising. If it happens and this regime is thrown over, the people are not going to deal with the European countries that supporrted this regime.

These people (and other oppressed people) truly need prayers to get them through these times. I just feel the need to pray for them, and I know they could use as many prayers as possible. :prayer:
