Bad Timing

Iran has arrested a number of Christian missionaries in Tehran province and vowed to detain more of them, the provincial governor was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA on Tuesday. […] He referred to them as “tabshiri,” or missionaries, and likened them to the Taliban. […] “Just like the Taliban … who have inserted themselves into Islam like a parasite, they have crafted a movement with Britain’s backing in the name of Christianity,”
Arresting Christian missionaries a few days after Christians were blown up in a church in a majority Muslim country? It feels as if Iran is turning into North Korea. Forever searching for ways to provoke the world.
