Farrokh Kakaei is in grave danger. Shi’ite Islam, like Sunni Islam, prescribes the death penalty for apostasy:
Shaykh al-Kulayni narrates a sahíh (correct) hadith from `Ammãr as-Sãbãti who said: I heard (Imam) Abu `Abdullãh (as-Sãdiq) (a.s.) saying, “A Muslim from among the Muslims who renounces Islam and rejects the prophethood of Muhammad and considers him untrue, then verily his blood is lawful (mubãh) for anyone who hears that from him, his wife is to be separated from him the day he became murtad, his wealth will be divided among his heirs, and his wife will observe the `idda of a widow (i.e., four months). The Imam is obliged to kill him, and not ask him to seek forgiveness.” (Furu al-Kãfi, vol. 7, p. 257)
“Concern for Christian convert after two weeks’ detention in unknown location,” Article 18, June 12, 2024:
A Christian convert arrested last month remains in detention in an unknown location, as his wife and two daughters grow increasingly concerned.
Farrokh Kakaei, who will celebrate his 55th birthday later this month, was arrested at his home in Karaj on 26 May by four plainclothes officers of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence, before being taken away to an unknown location.
It is also unknown whether Farrokh has received any formal or informal charges, but the arresting agents confiscated a framed image of Jesus, alongside his laptop, mobile phone, and computer hard-drive.
Farrokh, who grew up in a Yarsani family in Kermanshah, has been able to call home twice during his detention, but could not say where he was being held.
At least 14 Iranian Christians have been arrested so far this year, but few have given permission to publish their cases, leading to a continuing sense of “faceless victims” – a trend that inspired the title of Article18’s latest annual report….

The arrest and imprisonment of this man, Farroke Kakaei, for leaving the “House of Islam” converting to Jesus is not an isolated incident in Iran. Likewise the harassment, if not the arrest and imprisonment of Christians who had never been Muslims in that “mullah regime:” of Iran also occurs repeatedly
This is because the ayatollahs and mullahs who have so much power in that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran and so they put Christians prison because of they’re afraid that if the Iranian people would even hear the Bible read or start to compare and contrast the Bible with Quran the people of Iran might start to view the Bible and the superior of those two different books.
Since, that Islamic tyranny is based on Islam and it’s Sharia which have their total foundation on the Quran is could be a threat to those in power in Iran if the people did discover that the Bible is ,indeed, better and superior to that “holy book” of Islam.
Therefore those Muslim clerics along with other Muslim tyrants do have “security concerns” when it comes to Christians making known the Bible to the people of Iran.
As a result ,of this to maintain power , those ayatollahs and mullahs of Iran to everything they can , as cruel as they are , to keep the people of Iran in the bondage of the ignorant and darkness of Islam and away from the Light of Bible based Christianity.
It therefore will on the future Day of Judgement, u God, Romans 14:12. , a time of desolation and sorrow for those Muslim clerics who do everything, they can to keep the people of Iran in the darkness of Islam and away from the light of the Bible and Christianity.
As the Bible does inform its reader in Isaiah 5:20′ ” Woe to those who put evil for good ,and good for evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” [N.K.J.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
About those ayatollahs, mullahs and imams of Iran, according to the doctrines of the Bible, Isaiah 8:20. False religious teacher’s .Meaning false teachers who teach and indoctrinate the false doctrines of the false religion of Islam into the hearts and minds of others.
Such false teachers are described in the Bible, in Second Peter 2:1,2 “There were false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction and many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. [N.K.J.V.]
Those same Muslims clerics also tell the Iranian people many awful terrible things that aren’t true about Christians and Christianity , likewise they speak many negative and false things about the Jewish people and the State of Israel. This is a reflection of the prediction of such lying falsehood speakers written about in the Bible , which informs its reader about men who “Speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” Second Peter 2:12.
In addition, it should be make clear that in the context and meaning of the above Bible verse Second Peter 2:1. The word “destruction” does not mean “loss of being but loss of well-being, as the destruction of well- being. That is “going to ruin” by ending up and a terrible place of awful suffering which the Bible call hell, Luke 16:19-31.

Islam and freedom—mortal enemies.
Tony Rice says
FEAR is what rules Islam, fear of the truth, of opposing religions and fear of competition. And imposing fear on adherents to Islam, such as ISIS did in Syria and Iraq.

islam is a bit like a religious communism:when muslims see the error of islam and discover the charlatans pretending to be “scholars”.ex muslims figure it out.The authorities or “holy men” don’t want people figuring things out themselves.Dissidents in the Soviet Unioh had to be interviewed by phony psychiatrists but there was nothing wrong with them!They were a threat to the authorities just by using critical thinking.
