Convert churches in several countries in the Muslim world dream of experiencing what the convert church is experiencing in Iran. When traveling in the region, you can regularly hear statements from local Christians along these lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The number of Iranians who have converted from Islam to the Christian faith is estimated at 800,000 - despite the risk of persecution for their choice. A driving force is widespread frustration with the country's leadership, leading many Iranians to seek alternatives to the Islam promoted by the regime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many years, every 1-2 years, brave and risky protests have taken to the streets of Iran, most recently under the slogan: Women, Life, Freedom. Women take to the streets in Iran without veils, even though they risk long prison sentences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the poll Iranian attitudes towards religion<\/em> from the Dutch institute Gamaan, from 2020, for example, 72 % of Iranians oppose the requirement for women to wear hijab in public, while only 15 % believe the hijab should be worn in public. For years, the Danish European Mission has heard anecdotal evidence that is consistent with the findings of the survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
