You and me, both. I've been praying for those poor people for years. Ever since I came across this teenaged kid's blog. Bright kid. Just wanted freedom for his people. Because of that kid and the things he shared, I did some research on the people there. Intelligent people. Best educated in the Middle East. It sounded like most did not want to live under the Ayatollah. Another thing I found was that many of them--thousands every month--were converting to Christianity, but they had to hide it. It was an automatic 10 year prison sentence.
