Zitat:Wenn Iraner zum Christentum konvertieren, können die Nachteile für sie ja nicht so gravierend sein.

Zitat:Der Iran ist gerade in dieser Hinsicht ein Vorzeigemodell für die islamisch geprägten, aber gerade auch für die christlich geprägten Gesellschaften.

Samun schrieb:Ich möchte auch nochmal darauf hinweisen, was Shahab3 schon impliziert hat. Die Missionare im Iran, die "verfolgt" werden gehören nicht den ansässigen orientalichen Kirchen an, sondern sind evangelikale, die Kirchen angehören, die den Glauben eher als Geschäft sehen und für die die Missionierung eine Art geschäftliche "Expansion" darstellt. ...

Und für einen durchschnittlichen deutschen Christen dürften die Evangelikalen ohnehin ziemlich radikal erscheinen.

Zitat:Iran Stops Making Gasoline in Petrochemical Plants
By Ladane Nasseri - Jan 24, 2011 2:59 PM GMT+0100

Iran stopped making gasoline at petrochemical plants after the government’s reduction in fuel subsidies last month caused prices to quadruple and consumption to fall, an official at Iran’s National Petrochemical Co. said.
...
The Gulf nation had previously relied on imports for about 40 percent of its gasoline needs, due to a shortage of refining capacity. The government responded to the American restrictions by producing gasoline in chemical plants.

Over the past five months, Iran produced 17 million liters (4.5 million gallons) of gasoline a day at the petrochemical complexes, the state-run news agency Mehr reported on Jan. 22.

Reserves Peaked

Oil Minister Masoud Mir-Kazemi said in a Jan. 16 news conference that Iran’s gasoline reserves had “reached a peak.” He noted that demand for gasoline had eased after the government cut fuel subsidies on Dec. 19. This decline, together with the expected completion of refinery projects in coming months, meant the country would no longer have to make gasoline in petrochemical plants as a stop-gap solution.

Zitat:Nach Hinrichtung

Niederlande legen Beziehungen zum Iran auf Eis

Nach der Hinrichtung einer iranisch-niederländischen Frau im Iran hat die niederländische Regierung die Kontakte zu Teheran auf Eis gelegt. Die Vollstreckung des Todesurteils an der Regimegegnerin sei eine "Schandtat durch ein barbarisches Regime", erklärte der niederländische Außenminister Uri Rosenthal.

Das Einfrieren der Beziehungen zum Iran mit sofortiger Wirkung hat unter anderem zur Folge, dass die Bewegungsfreiheit des Botschafters und der anderen Diplomaten bis auf weiteres erheblich eingeschränkt ist. Das Außenministerium in Den Haag riet Iranern mit niederländischem Pass dringend von Reisen in ihr Herkunftsland ab.
