ed note–contrast this with what the Jews say and believe about the Blessed Mother of Jesus being a ‘harlot’ and a whore who mated with carpenters and Roman soldiers and who conceived Jesus in Her womb ‘while menstruating’.
Having been to Tehran on multiple occasions and having spent quite a lot of time in the presence of many Muslim friends, both Shia and Sunni, what this writer can state without an ounce of reservation is that a Christian will not find, EVER, someone more reverent and respectful of Jesus and His Blessed Mother than a practicing Muslim, and that all the calumnies that have been spit forth by the forked tongue of the lying Jews concerning Islam being ‘anti-Christian’ are just lies, pure and simple…
And, conversely—
That a Christian will not find, EVER, someone who hates Jesus and His Blessed Mother more than a Jew from the Sin-a-Gog of Satan, irrespective of whether that Jew is religious or ‘secular’.

Tehran has inaugurated a new metro station named after the Virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary Station, or ‘Maryam Moghaddas’ in Farsi, officially opened this week on Line 7 of Tehran’s subway network. Iranian officials said the name was chosen as a ‘symbol of respect and veneration’ for Mary, mother of Jesus, who is cherished in both Christianity and Islam.
The station features Persian tilework and decorative lighting interwoven with Christian iconography, including stylized depictions of the Virgin Mary. It is located in northern Tehran, near neighborhoods home to Armenian and Assyrian Christian minorities.
Iranian state media portrayed the naming as a gesture of cultural and religious coexistence between Christians and Muslims, and images of the new station were widely shared on Persian-language social media. Many users welcomed the move as ‘positive’.
Although Christianity is officially recognized in Iran and a small number of historic churches continue to operate, rights groups have long documented restrictions on religious freedom, particularly for converts and unregistered congregations. Arrests, surveillance, and harassment of Christian communities have been repeatedly reported over the years.
The opening also drew coverage abroad. International media highlighted the significance of naming a public site after a Christian figure in a Shi’ite country, while local media have described the Virgin Mary Station as one of the most visually striking in Tehran’s expanding metro system. ‘Mary is a figure respected in Islam as well,’ a municipal official said at the opening ceremony, underscoring the religious crossover.
