Dr. Haleh Esfandiari (left) and husband Shaul Bakhash
Serendip has the latest on Iranian-American journalist and regime appeaser Dr. Haleh Esfandiari jailed this week in Iran:
She has been branded by the State-owned Newspaper, as the Agent of Zionists. She is also an ex-muslim who converted to judaism. This is starting to look really bad. According to Sharia, she could be killed for that alone. Sheema has more detailed info:
Apostasy in Islam is punishable by death. In a recent article in Keyhan (the link was referred by a friend) I read about Haleh Esfandiari being an ex-Muslim. Apparently she had converted to Judaism after marrying Shaul Bakhash (a renowned Iranian Zionist (exact word from the Keyhan article) who is currently teaching at a university in VA.) This means the Iranian regime can put Haleh Esfandiari to death because of converting to another religion. This is despite the fact that Dr. Esfandiari’s boss is a supporter of a talk with the murderer regime of Iran. Last but not least… Hossein Shariatmadari the head of Keyhan is a Jewish converter to Islam. His siblings if I recall correctly live in France and are strong supporters of the Zionist movement.
