Default Will you guys please pray for the Iranian Baha'is Leaders of Iran?

For those of you who don't know, the Baha'i Faith is a religious minority in Iran of 300,000 citizens. Seven Baha'i leaders were arrested in 2008 and have been held by Iranian govt. ever since. Some time next week these leaders will be tried as spies for Israel(which load of bunk) which means they will be executed once again for their beliefs.

Praying wont help much.
If god wants them saved, then he'll save them.
If not, then sorry.

What makes you think prayer will influence Iranian decisions one iota? People are routinely killed for their religious beliefs and have been since the beginning of human history. That is the main reason I don't buy into religious dogma. I'll defend your right to it, but I don't practice it.
I guess it's their rotten luck to be in Iran, but just like China, thousands of people are killed and tortured there for being practitioners of the Falun Gong faith and I haven't heard you asking for prayers for them. In fact more are routinely killed in China over faith than anywhere in the world.

Having just read of the Baha'i Faith and the underlying tenets of the faith, I can do as you ask.

The belief that, as I understand it, the religions of the world were founded by divine messengers and the religions fit the conditions of the times makes sense in many ways to me. I have thought for many years that there are underlying ways that the religions of the are related.

Yes. I'm aware of their plight as Iran has been on a campaign to dehumanize both Bahai' and Jewish people in Iran. My prayer for both groups, as well as those that don't support Islamofascism, to overcome their difficulties. My heart is with them.

I absolutely will.
One of my relatives (second cousin, I believe) has been arrested.
