As a result of the deterioration, the German authorities had already relocated about 14 Iranian Christians from a refugee camp near the city of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock, following death threats hurled at them by fundamentalists. Furthermore, Christians living in a camp in Bielefeld, received death threats should they not relinquish Christianity.

While remarking in this regard, Pastor Mahin Mousapour who hails from the Persian Father House community. He himself had converted to Christianity about 25 years ago. He claims that there were many non-Christian refugees who regard their Christians hosts “unclean” and “impure than dogs.”


She said that situation is extremely alarming for the Christian refugees residing in the refugee camps. “I love Muslims. But many Muslim refugees say that all Christians are unclean. During the period of Ramadan, it was particularly disastrous. The victims are afraid of revenge or of losing their asylum status if they complain.”
