My Comment: What century are we living in? Jesus’ Gospel clearly tells us we are not slaves, we were set free by His death and Resurrection. Paul tells us in Galatians chapter 4 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. And again we see Iran who has been thrust into a world position by world leaders who haven’t a clue what this nation is about, exhibiting one of the worst Human Rights abuses. They are still beating and torturing an American Pastor (Pastor Saeed Abedini) simply for being a Christian, and now it’s against the law to dance and be happy. I am not advocating for this video, but I am advocating for freedom. How long will the world allow this ideology to consume the Middle East, and Africa? The Tehran Police had this to say about the video, Incredible! “after a vulgar clip which hurt public chastity was released in cyberspace, police decided to identify those involved in making that clip,” At the end of the clip they say that they hope this video brings a smile to your face. And they were arrested. Pray for the people of Iran.

(Israel National News) In the West it would be considered an innocuous albeit amateur tribute video to singer Pharrell Williams’ massively popular song “Happy.” But in Iran, a video of six men and unveiled women dancing in Tehran to the hit song was enough to be arrested over.

“Sol Production” posted the tribute video on Monday to YouTube, which has already garnered nearly 40,000 views. Iranian police wasted no time in tracking down the happy Iranians, arresting them on Tuesday according to Al Arabiya.
