Marziyeh Amirizadeh says there is only one country in the Middle East that she believes could become a Christian nation—Iran.  

“I know my people, I know their heart, and know how much they are tired of Islam,” Amirizadeh told The Daily Signal. “And Iran can be a country, a Christian country in the future, hopefully to, instead of exporting terrorism, to be a place to export missionaries to other Middle Eastern countries, to other Muslims to find the truth through Jesus.” 

Amirizadeh was born in southern Iran, but later moved to Iran’s capital of Tehran. Growing up, Amirizadeh says she had a wonderful relationship with her father, and her parents never taught her about radical Islam at home, but when she began going to school at the age of 7, “the system of brainwashing” began. 

“When you go to school, they force you to pray Namaz,” a ritual Islamic prayer, Amirizadeh said. “They forced you to practice Islamic rules, they forced you to … say, ‘Death to America and death to Israel.’”  

Students are required to take a sort of theology class in schools across Iran, Amirizadeh explained, describing the course as “very radical Muslim.”  

Amirizadeh has vivid memories of her teacher describing ways in which God would torture them when they died........
