IRAN: No longer an Islamic nation

[Loki]

The Iranian people decisively reject Islam. Glory to God!! Iran is also the fastest growing country for Christianity.

Yeah, excuse me if I dont really believe that. They`ve worshipped that evil demon Allah for way to long with zeal, going as far as randomly killing women simply for not wearing their burkas right. So why the sudden change of heart?
There`s a HUGE difference between proclaiming to be Christian and actually acting Christian.

I don't have that much to say on the topic (I mean, it is called the Islamic Republic of Iran...) but 'Allah' is not a Muslim god, Allah is the Arabic word for God. In English you say 'God,' in French you say 'Dieu,' in Arabic you say 'Allah.' While Muslims will use it in place of God even when speaking other languages, to say 'evil demon Allah' is to refer to the Abrahamic God in general, all theological arguments about whether Muslims worship the same God as other Abrahamic religion nonwithstanding because we all say this word. Anyone who speaks Arabic, regardless of our religion, will say things like 'Ya Allah,' 'Inshallah,' 'Mashallah.' So unless this God is the one you intend to condemn, I would not say something like this.

Aww come on sacha, cut me some slack there. When we Europeans say "Allah" we always refer to the islamic deity by that. It`s just synonymous to us. I obviously dont mean the god of Christianity by that.

Ignorance is a bliss Sacha. You will soon learn that here, I've given up with people's caracictures of certain things and debating them.

Certainly there is a secularization process among Iranians (up to rampant Islamophobia among their Diasporans) but as far as I can see, and similarly to the process that occurred in the West, it just means people stop believing/practicing their religion and not joining a new one (or very rarely)

So the de-islamization of Iran doesn't mean Christianization at all tbh (or for very few little cases)

It's literally the same god but updated.

They have a inferiority complex combined with a strict Shia government and you are going to get people leaving "islam". What do you expect lol?
