A former Muslim man from Iran, Jalil Mashali, who converted to Christianity, has recently been fined by the road traffic authority in Essen, Germany.

His crime: He has the words, “Jesus – I am the way. The truth. And the life,” sticker on his taxi cab.

The German authority fined Mashali 85 Euros and ordered the removal of the sticker, stating that it was advertising religion, the Christian Post reports. The agency is threatening a larger fine if he doesn’t comply.

Mashali, with the aid of ADF International, is fighting the charge, stating the sticker is instead a personal testimony of what God miraculously did in Mashali’s life.

While in Iran, Mashali had been severely injured in a bus accident that resulted in permanent damage to his left leg and chronic pain, despite having 20 surgeries in Germany.

The pain was so bad, that Mashali became suicidal.

However, the pain suddenly stopped after a Christian woman prayed for him. This played a major role in Mashali’s decision to leave Islam and embrace Jesus.

“Jesus is the best thing I could recommend to anyone because he changed my life,” Mashali said in an ADF news release. ADF legal representatives argue that the sticker represents a personal expression of his faith, legal under German Law.
