Please Sign a New Petition to Help Pastor Saeed

1/16/2014

We are at a vitally important juncture in the fight to save American Pastor Saeed.

The Obama Administration has made a "deal" with Iran on its nuclear program to lessen sanctions, giving it no reason to even consider releasing Pastor Saeed.

Iran is thumbing its nose at the world. Iran's president even recently tweeted: "world powers surrendered to Iranian nation's will."

Because you spoke out, a bill to re-impose crippling sanctions on Iran until it frees Pastor Saeed and stops its nuclear weapons program has gained overwhelming support in the U.S. Senate.

Yet, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid won't allow a vote on sanctions – sanctions that have worked in the past – sanctions that could help free Pastor Saeed.

We need to hear from you again today. Iran continues to imprison and torture this U.S. citizen for his faith. New sanctions are a key to his release. Demand a vote.

Sign our New Petition to Renew Sanctions and Help Free Pastor Saeed.

Jordan Sekulow, ACLJ Executive Director

HOW TO READ A PERSECUTION NEWS STORY

Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to His feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there.

"God often takes away our comforts and our privileges in order to make us better Christians. He trains His soldiers not in tents of ease and luxury, but by turning them out and subjecting them to forced marches and hard service. He makes them ford through streams, and swim through rivers, and climb mountains, and walk many long miles with heavy backpacks of sorrow. Well, Christian, may this not account for the troubles through which you are passing? Is the Lord bringing out your graces and making them grow? Is it for this reason He contends with you?"

Christian persecution is just a phenomenon in the
Middle East.

Christians aren’t greatly
impacted by persecution.

Whatever persecution there is, the damage is superficial - more a loss of multicultural diversity than anything else.

Christians supposedly bring persecution upon themselves by proselytizing.

Persecution couldn’t
happen here.
