Disregarding Danger: Sweden to Deport Christian to Iran
". . . part of the problem is that migration officials don’t understand why someone would become a Christian and don’t understand what it means to be a Christian. Less than 20 percent of Swedes say they believe in God. This is most apparent when they come to the question when a convert says I converted because of the love I have received from Jesus Christ. And they almost mockingly ask the convert, what do you mean by love? It’s just completely alien to them." — Gabriel Donner.

Sweden is about to deport Iranian Christian actress Aideen Strandsson back to Iran, where she faces torture, rape and even death in an Iranian prison.
It is a clear violation of international law. But, as Swedish officials have told Aideen, becoming a Christian was her decision, and now it’s her problem and not theirs.
This from a nation that thinks of itself as the ‘humanitarian superpower’ that welcomed refugees with open arms, until the government took too much political heat and decided that some would have to go, even if it kills them.
Filling Quotas
Sweden’s migration board even violates its own stated principles: that it will never deport asylum seekers to a nation where they will be harmed, according to Swedish Attorney Gabriel Donner, who has assisted an estimated 1,000 Christian asylum-seekers facing deportation.
“The migration board has on its home page information about each country. And in the information regarding Iran there are plenty of reports stating that it is standard to torture and rape in Iranian prisons,” Donner said. “And the question we have been asking the migration board time and time again is why do you put this information on your homepage if you don’t follow it? ”
We asked Donner if, in Aideen’s case, Swedish authorities don’t believe she’s a real Christian or they just don’t care.
“They don’t care,” he replied. “It’s numbers. They have promised the people of Sweden that they will deport more people than before, and so they have to fill a quota.”
What Geneva Convention?
Article 33 of the Geneva Convention on Refugees, which Sweden signed, prohibits nations from deporting asylum seekers back to nations where they could face danger.
Donner estimates there are 8,000 Christians hiding in Sweden because they are under deportation orders.
He said part of the problem is that migration officials don’t understand why someone would become a Christian and don’t understand what it means to be a Christian. Less than 20 percent of Swedes say they believe in God.
Donner said, “This is most apparent when they come to the question when a convert says I converted because of the love I have received from Jesus Christ. And they almost mockingly ask the convert, what do you mean by love? It’s just completely alien to them.’
Asylum Rejected, Prison Expected
A Swedish Migration Board press officer told us, “If the person [has] well-founded reasons to fear persecution due to religious beliefs, he or she will be granted asylum in Sweden.”
But Aideen’s asylum request has been rejected and her case has been turned over to the border police.

Why don't people relate to each other? The operative word: Death. Is loss of life a valid argument in this woman's (other Christian) case? Is Sweden prone to be a test nation for how secularists conduct themselves with religious folks, Christian folks?
