This is Soheila Fors, a Kurdish woman born in Iran, living in Sweden, married to a Swedish man. In the second picture you see Soheila’s mother and aunt before the Islamic revolution. Soheila’s father was killed by the regime, and she was abused by her first (Iranian) husband. She met Jesus in her desperation. Soheila has started up several tea houses for immigrant women in Sweden, for fellowship and vocational training. That is too provoking for the Muslim men. She receives death threats on a regular basis. A fire bomb was thrown on their balcony. She doesn’t get enough help from the authorities. It’s a taboo in Sweden to criticize the immigration policy or Islam. Those who suffer the most are women from a Muslim background. They are not defended by the leftist feminists, since they don’t fit the narrative. Some experts say that Sweden is one of the countries in Europe with the highest levels of segregations. There are dozens of no-go-zones and in some areas the sharia law is practiced

@tanjaostman thank you for posting this. I feel for Soheila. I praise the Lord the work He's doing through her. I live in the UK, and the situation is similar, but I think not as bad as Sweden. "Remember what I told you: “A servant is not greater than his master.” If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also." (John 15:20) I was called to distribute scripture cards to Muslim areas in the UK.

@ManyFreeBirds thanks for the comment! Yes the Lord is using Soheila, but she needs our prayers. Great to hear about what you did!

@tanjaostman Sweden doesn't appeal to me. It is also the nation that stole a child away from his parents simply because they home-schooled. Their son was ADOPTED out to others and was sexually abused out of their home. How in the world did the "state" do better for their son than they were doing?

@OilPainter yes, it's weird that it's not allowed to homeschool the children.
