TO THOSE WHO ARE HARRASSING AND THOSE WHO ARE SUPPORTING THEM:

In the name of God,
When some with extreme and unrealistic mottos, knowingly or unknowingly engage in brutal activities, they represent the Islam religion in the world’s mind, as a religion based on sword and pressure, with no value for human lives. When these things happen, I find the best reaction is to is to publicize the actions, to prove to the humane world that the Islam religion and their followers are not against human life, but value it highly.
Therefore, I have written in calligraphy the Holy Book of Torah, which is accepted as a Holy Book by Jews and Christians, and they have a special respect for it. I asked a respectable artist to gild it with gold.
In 2001, after I illuminated the Holy Book of Torah, in an announcement, I presented the simplified version as a symbol of respect toward humans and humanity, ideas and different ideologies, peace and peaceful co-existence among people of different religions.
This event brought different reactions. Some of the world’s politicians and educators supported me with their emails. On the other hand, some inside Iran, without understanding the motive for what I did, have made accusations that I have preached some bad religion, and some say that I am receiving money form Zionists. Some who had a little bit of understanding didn’t care about it and ignored it.
I heard all kinds of accusations and instead of answering this nonsense, even though I had a lot of restrictions and was under a lot of emotional stress, I wrote in calligraphy the Psalm Book, from the Book of David, into two languages----Farsi and Hebrew
After I illuminated the book of Miramar, I announced it to the world, while the world was witnessing the brutal beheading of some innocent people, by those who pretended they were Muslim. The only result of this kind of activity was to embarrass the Islam religion in the world. I feel sorry for those who act as Islam followers, but don’t say anything against this kind of activity while they were making accusations against me because I had said to all humans, no matter what their religions are, I love you and I value your life. However, some people did not like that, and they made a campaign and issued a verdict against me.
During these years, I heard all kind of accusations, and I didn’t say anything, hoping one day that the fanatics will realize living in the world takes a special manner of living, but unfortunately, my silence gave some people the idea that they could threaten me. I warn those people and their supporters who don’t like my ideas because these are against theirs and those who want to destroy the books of Torah and psalms and stop the simplifying of the Holy Book of Angel, which I am working on at the moment. This time, I warn them directly. If I am silent in front of the fanatics, it doesn’t mean I am afraid. I know my values.
My silence is not because I am afraid of anyone, any group, or any system. The only one I am afraid of is God. But from now on, I will react to any unreasonable activities and I am not concerned about anybody, no matter what title they have. I am not the kind of person who wants to cause turmoil. I always was a follower of the idea of peacefulness---peace and friendship. I have said this many times in writing and verbally. I have not been associated with any group or political group. I don’t have any hostility toward any group of any policy. I distance myself from politics. . My living expenses are from my income, and I don’t owe anyone any money. I don’t have anything in this world and I don’t have anything to loose, but if some fanatics draw a sword to force me to do something, they can be sure I won’t remain silent, and at that point I will not recognize any boundaries.
I won’t accept any nonsense or unrealistic words and I will never give up publicizing my ideas. I will not destroy the Holy Book of Torah and psalms, and if someone tries to do so, I will break his hand. I am not going to stop the simplification of the Book of Angel, and as far as I may live I will do my best to write in calligraphy the Book of Avesta. I am not afraid to die, and it is a shame for you. Don’t despise the holy religion of God, otherwise, God will punish you, and at that time it will be too late. . I have said, many times, if you are Muslim, I will stay away from this kind of Islam.
I want to repeat my words, and I believe in them. To all of you who are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Zoroastrian, Buddhists, Bahain, and to those who have no religion, I love you and I value your life. However, it is hard for the narrow-minded to accept. I hope that God will show all of us the right way to love each other and value humanity, regardless of their ideas or religions.
