“This is not a religion. It’s a cult.”

Anni Cyrus was born in 1983 in Iran– after the the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Because of this, she grew up in the Islamic Republic of Iran in a strict Islamic family with a father who was a strong, Islamic authority figure.

Anni’s one experience outside of the strictness of her family upbringing was her grandmother, who grew up in the free side of Iran before the Islamic Revolution.

Being raised under Sharia Law, Anni was declared to be a full adult woman at age 9. Anni soon found out that being an adult woman at age 9 comes with heavy, life-altering consequences. Anni was eventually sold as a child-bride.

Anni goes on to recount the horrors she experienced at the hands of Islam and how she came to know Christ.

This is a vital, informative episode about the horrors of Islam that you do not want to miss.
