Finding Faith in an Iranian Prison (Marina Nemat - Acton Institute)

  • In January 1982, Marina Nemat, then just sixteen years old, was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death for political crimes. Until then, her life in Tehran had centered around school, summer parties at the lake, and her crush on Andre, the young man she had met at church. But when math and history were subordinated to the study of the Koran and political propaganda, Marina protested. Her teacher replied, "If you don't like it, leave." She did, and, to her surprise, other students followed. Soon she was arrested with hundreds of other youths who had dared to speak out, and they were taken to the notorious Evin prison in Tehran. Two guards interrogated her. One beat her into unconsciousness; the other, Ali, fell in love with her. Sentenced to death for refusing to give up the names of her friends, she was minutes from being executed when Ali, using his family connections to Ayatollah Khomeini, plucked her from the firing squad and had her sentence reduced to life in prison. But he exacted a shocking price for saving her life -- with a dizzying combination of terror and tenderness, he asked her to marry him and abandon her Christian faith for Islam. If she didn't, he would see to it that her family was harmed. She spent the next two years as a prisoner of the state, and of the man who held her life, and her family's lives, in his hands. Her search for emotional redemption envelops her jailers, her husband and his family, and the country of her birth -- each of whom she grants the greatest gift of all: forgiveness.
    About Marina Nemat
    Marina Nemat was born in 1965 in Tehran, Iran. After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, she was arrested at the age of sixteen and spent more than two years in Evin, a political prison in Tehran, where she was tortured and came very close to execution. She came to Canada in 1991 and has called it home ever since. Her memoir of her life in Iran, "Prisoner of Tehran" (Penguin Canada 2007), has been published in 28 other countries, and has been an international bestseller. In 2007, Marina received the inaugural Human Dignity Award from the European Parliament, and in 2008, she received the prestigious Grinzane Prize in Italy. In 2008/2009, she was an Aurea Fellow at University of Toronto’s Massey College, where she wrote her second book, "After Tehran: A Life Reclaimed" (Penguin Canada 2010). Marina regularly speaks at high schools, universities, and conferences around the world and sits on the Board of Directors at CCVT (Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture) and on advisory boards at ACAT (Action by Christians for the Abolition of Torture) and PEN Canada. She also teaches memoir writing, in Farsi and in English, at the School of Continuing Studies at University of Toronto and writes book reviews for The Globe and Mail.
    This lecture took place on November 19, 2015.

      First of all I congratulate you because you are looking for the truth but your fault is that you did not understand the Koran well, the Koran told us about the fault of the Christians so as not to repeat it, they took a human, the prophet jesus (peace be upon him) who eats, looks like a human, goes to the toilet and can be hurt moreover he is killed by human (according to you) for a god whereas god warned us of the punishment of the cherk (trinity, many gods) because there is only one god "allah". I am sure you learned surat al ikhlas in the Quran which is not modified (there is only one quran since the prophet mohamed (SAW) In this sura there is the definition of god "god is the only one, god eternal, he was not born and he has no children" there is nobody who looks like him "
      In short my brother I advise you to continue your research and may allah guide you...peace❤️😇

      Adem Jrad Who said we praise 3 Gods? Your spirit is too weak to comprehend and understand the trinity. Are you not 1 human? Yet you consist of a body,soul,spirit. Jesus Christ was not from the flesh of Adam and Eve like Muhammad. Muhammad died and is still dead, you follow a dead man. I follow the guy who rose from the dead and promised eternal life for whoever believes. Yet Muhammad promised you virgins and maids and infinite sex. Never say Jesus Christ was just a prophet. Never compare him to your master shaytan name Muhammad👹🕋.

    • @ademjrad9994

      Jafar Haggi Ok. I will consider myself as ignorant of the trinity (acherk belleh). How Issa (PBUH) can be a god when he is created by god whom you consider the father. How he is not human then who eat when he is idle, he goes to the bathroom and can have scratches and scream? how can you consider a creation that looks like you god? 😂 After you said how can you follow the prophet mohamed when he died, Like all the prophets he died (he remains a human) He is alive in the heart of each "true muslim" even as there are many muslim who see him in their sleep especially on the night 27 of kader (ramadan) And of course that I follow him because he has with him the only sacred book which is not changed and many scientific things are found now while it was already written in the koran since before in addition why see him in this world, inchallah in paradise, after you told me about the promise of your human god, I will not make fun of your beliefs like you make fun of mine. after you told me about the promises of mohamed (SAW) what you told me it shows that you were brainwashed, brother in paradise there is no sex, there are beautiful angelic women. After you told me "don't compare jesus to the other prophet" but of course if , jesus (PBUH) was a poor person but with a big heart and among the most sacred prophets, his people made him a god, that is why god makes him go up to heaven to return in order to come back to blame his people. you insulted our prophet :first of all you came to insult a prophet that 1.9 billion people adore now without speaking of the past when he was king of the middle east after suffering his whole life so that people like you understand
      So bro i encourage you to continue your researcher because you’re a seeker of truth,may allah guide and...peace😉🕊

      Adem Jrad 1. John 10:30 The Father and I are one.
      2. Philippians 2:5-6 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
      3. John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
      4. John 1:18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
      5. Colossians 2:9-10 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily. and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
      6. John 10:33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
      7. John 5:18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
      8. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
      9. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
      10. 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
      12. John 8:57-58 The people said, “You aren’t even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?” Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!”
      13. John 8:22-24 This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?” But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”
      15. Isaiah 44:6 Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.

      The sin-sacrifice-resurrection story implies a barbaric God who values blood sacrifice. Barbaric superstitious folks, who valued blood sacrifice, created the God of The Bible in their own image. If Jesus had Godly powers, he'd still be living on earth doing miracles. Resurrection & ascendance to heaven is a hoax that easily fools the gullible suckers.

      amir hamza Amir if a resonant is crucified as in early years it was for a crime. Do you agree? Jesus committed no crime except he said he was the Christ son of the blessed. Mark 14;62. They say he blasphemed. He told the truth. He was sinless. The crucifixion and three days after his death , the resurrection is the point. Many witnesses to his being alive after death. He died and resurrected to pay for your sins before a judging God. You will believe and repent of your sins and be turned from them by the Holy Dspirit which will take residence inside your soul. Your statement falls short of the actual events. Go to the people of the bible for truth. Watch David Woods or Christian Prince. Enlightening discussions with Muslims. Seek and ye shall find Salvation. Mom praise the God of Creation. Bless you and I pray you find the way, the truth and the light. Amen

      atam mardes you have been given free will to choose. You simplify things to suit your simple state of mind . There is far more depth to it than what spews out of your mouth. No Born again Christian would expect you to have faith when you are the centre of your universe. It takes humility to come before the God of Creation. Your ignorance of the God of the bible is evident. Whether you believe or not you will kneel before the God of the bible and be judged. All that is required is faith. If we die and shed blood on this earth for our Lord it is a small price to pay for eternity in Paradise with God our Father. If you know the gospel and reject it you have decided your fate. I walk with the Holy Spirit everyday and am I afraid of where I go when I die. Praise God.

They left the belief for a reason. Most of the Shia beliefs are considered wrong islam. Iranian government condemns Sunni practitioners and put them on death row. Don't assume Indonesia (biggest Muslim population) will change to Christianity because of these 2 women whose country believed in completely different things than the rest of Muslim countries.

      The sin-sacrifice-resurrection story implies a barbaric God who values blood sacrifice. Barbaric superstitious folks, who valued blood sacrifice, created the God of The Bible in their own image. If Jesus had Godly powers, he'd still be living on earth doing miracles. Resurrection & ascendance to heaven is a hoax that easily fools the gullible suckers.

    Waaay back in ancient times, when I was in 6th grade, we gained a new student in our class after the start of the new school year. 1972. Our pretty,
    soft-spoken, new student had emerald colored eyes & long sable hair. She was with us because her family had just moved back to the United States. Her father worked for
    the State Department. There
    were big changes happening
    in the Iranian Gubmint. The
    Shah of Iran was Deposed.
    He was a decent guy, she said.
    She handed out Iranian postage stamps to everyone. The stamps had a depiction of a pleasant looking man in a suit with his arms wde open as if waiting for an embrace.

For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, I summon you by name and bestow on you a title of honor though you do know acknowledge me.” (740 B.C. to 681 B.C.)

      Agus Friasmansyah Thank you for your encouragement. The book of Nehemiah was written in the same period as Ezra. Be sure to read the first chapter of Ezra for the speech of Cyrus of Persia. Israelites also need to study the Bible more to understand the enormous debt they have to Iran but they didn’t listen to Jeremiah and don’t read the word. See Laurence Wallnau. He’s a bit of a salesman but learned of his Jewish roots only when he was grown. Only his father is Jewish but the son was given the order to save his people when he didn’t even know he was Jewish. He’s a bit of a salesman but had a lot to say in his early interviews. Watch Eric Metaxas and Mark Taylor videos, please, if you have time, but always let the Bible be your priority, not men or women. I’m old, a retired teacher, but I will help you find answers to your questions if I can. My mentor is almost 90 but fit as a fiddle. I can contact her or one of the missionaries here in El Salvador or check Ravi Zacarias videos even though he went to be with the Lord recently. Mark Taylor is a very humble man and his profecies are free on line.

      Notice when the name of Cyrus was mentioned by Isaiah in the message he received from God. (740 B.C. - 681 B.C.). B.C. Is of course, before Christ. It was possibly 200 yrs before the birth and reign of Cyrus in Persia. 536 B.C. Is the date I found in my history book for the decree of Cyrus, possibly almost 200 years after Isaiah’s prophecy when God called him by name.
