BTW, persecution of Christians in iran is a constant phenomenon, seeing ups and downs only in intensity. It saw an obvious spike at the time of Khomenei, then a low in late 90s, and now since ahmadinejadh's raise a drastic increase again. |
I guess it's part religion, part politics. Want to rally your people against the enemy, clamp down on the religion of the enemy. "It could be worse, you could be a Christian." That kinda thing. It's kinda like that old game where you guess what cup the pea is under, keep moving the pea, keep the people guessing and their minds off the fact that their country is about as popular as the DPRK and probably has as much foreign trade.
