Current event article http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/05/16/iran.bahais/index.html?iref=newssearch 1. The title of my article is “Iran’s arrest of Baha’is Condemned”. It came from CNN. There is no specific author on the article. The source of the article was cnn.com. The date on this was May 16, 2008. 5. I can relate this article to religion. Iran arrested Baha’i just because of what they believed in. They are supposed to have religious freedom but do not. Paragraph with six points: The baha’is are getting treated really badly. This article is about how the Iran's are arresting the Baha'i. They are not allowed their religious freedom. All they are getting arrested for is the religion. The faith of Baha'i is spreading around faster than any other religion. The head guy is reminded of what had happened in the 1980's.
