About Daniel Shayesteh

Dr Daniel was born into a Muslim family in Northern Iran. He became a radical Muslim leader and teacher of Islam in the militant Free Islamic Revolutionary Movement, closely supporting Ayatollah Khomeini. However, after falling out of favor with Khomeini’s political group, he escaped to Turkey where there began an amazing journey to faith in Jesus Christ.

Daniel's mission is to help others understand and lovingly respond to those who do not know Christ. He is also deeply concerned for the future of Western societies, their loss of confidence in Judeo-Christian values, and their persistent naivete about the implications of the world-wide Islamic revival.

Unfruitful Tolerance!

How might people respond to the following questions?
  1. Do you tolerate a person who breaches the rights of others?
  2. Do you tolerate a religion or philosophy that aims at the destruction of the followers of other beliefs or philosophies?
There is no doubt that many people in democratic countries will be able to freely and politely respond “No” to the above questions. This is because, in general, the mind is against any discrimination or invasion of the rights of others. Everybody is taught to be in favor of individual rights, but not everybody is made aware that his/her rights are being threatened or taken away.

In recent years, New Age and Secular Humanist philosophies have dominated popular thinking and have, in effect, opened the door of democracy to every belief, culture and action. These philosophies espouse that democracy accept everything. In turn, the seeds are sown to provide war within democracy itself. This results in the creation of new random rules and regulations that are in sync with the so- called “evolutionary world.”

Not only have these forces dominated many schools and universities, they have pressured the western political leadership to issue new laws - apparently in the name of respect and tolerance for every belief, but in reality fueling passivity.  The result is that people are no longer able to live meaningfully and freely. Ironically, in an age where ‘anything goes’, people are not taught how or why to value their rights.

It is shocking how influential these forces have been in directing the masses in their way of life. They have spread political correctness everywhere in the West, undermining our freedoms.  Yet at the same time, non-evolutionary leaders, politicians and journalists are keeping quiet against a movement which is leading our societies towards totalitarianism. Some of our trusted politicians have left us speechless by their inaction.

Political correctness is a deception which first neutralizes people and then gradually leads them to enslavement. It is a channel to totalitarianism that twists truth in favor of dictatorship and destroys the culture of courage and respect. It is the true enemy of democracy.

The deception of political correctness has, unfortunately, crippled the West and many people are not able to realize that freedom cannot tolerate every belief and action. Islamists believe that they have to kill the followers of all other beliefs unless they join Islam. How can freedom tolerate such a hostile and totalitarian belief? How can the children of freedom allow such repression to come and live among their children? Not only are they living among us, but they have also been busy terrorizing our freedom in every aspect. Our freedom fighters are taken to courts, and sacked from universities and work places, all because of the cultural, political, economic, social and moral jihads. This is being pursued under the dark cover of political correctness and multiculturalism.

This generation calls itself the children of enlightenment; but they tolerate darkness!

What partnership does light have with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14).

If we … walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. (1 John 1:6)

May the light of Christ shine over this generation so that they will realize that they should not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather rebuke them (Ephesians 5:11).
