God Has Not Abandoned the Christians Who Remain in Afghanistan

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Just as the Shia mullahs in Iran present themselves as the best and most devout Muslims, so the Sunni Taliban leaders say they are the best Muslims -- practicing their religion just as the Prophet Muhammad intended.
55% : It is true today in China, North Korea, Iran and Afghanistan.
53% : Like followers of Christ in Iran, many Afghan believers will pay a high price.
52% : Missions leaders and researchers confidently say that more Muslims have come to Christ in Iran during the four decades since the Iranian Revolution than did during the roughly 1,400 years between the advent of Islam and 1979.
52% : Iranian friends have said that Ayatollah Khomeini, the stern face of the Islamic Revolution, drove so many people away from Islam that he can rightfully be called the greatest Christian missionary in the history of Iran.
49% : In 1979, the Iranian Revolution put the mullahs, or Islamic leaders, in charge of Iran.
45% : What place would there be for Christians -- especially "apostate" converts from Islam -- in the Islamic Republic of Iran?
45% : Today those pronouncements seem laughable, as the fastest-growing church in the world is in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
44% : Many believed they were seeing the end of the church in Iran.
43% : If that thought sounds impossible, look across Afghanistan's western border to Iran, where another group of radical Muslims took control of the entire nation more than four decades ago.
39% : Our Christian brothers and sisters in Iran have suffered greatly.
