I am sure the Baha’i’ International Community has some novel way of dealing with what is happening to religious minorities in Iran. Forgive me, but if you succeed, you will have accomplished something that has rarely been accomplished in World history. I believe in you and I pray that you succeed!

You will hope for a long time. In the meantime, what I and many others, including the Baha'i international community, will be doing is doing all we can legally to bring the light on these bigots and reactionary, hate-filled thugs who rule Iran.
