Misrepresentation

At first I thought I would just tweet it, and then send him a direct message.  But now I hear voices that tell me, differently.  We all hear voices from our Free Will and we are moved by them when they shout at us.  And this is becoming louder to me all the time.
One thing that is important to all Iranians is representation.  The culture of Iran is not represented properly at the moment from any institution.  In fact there are plently of institutions whose job is to misrepresent Iran.  But the Royal Institution of Iran has a mandate, and it is not political, religious, or financial.  It represent all that is purely cultural.
The debate over cultural itself as distinct from the political, religious, and commercial is important.  I am not going to dwell on that here.  But what I hear in my heart is the voice deep from the past.  Democracy it cries is a process based on Free Will and the ability to choose, or Gozineshi.  That is first mentioned in the Zend-Avesta.
When the person in charge of the Royal Institution does not know that the Zend-Avesta is at the heart of Iranian culture, and that Gozineshi is at the heart of Zend-Avesta, then we have a disconnect.
I know that Cyrus Reza Pahlavi is doing his best, but serious mistakes like this, especially in front of the Greeks is madness.  Even Alexander the Great who is half Iranian is turning in his grave. 
The voices have calmed down.  Phew.

Exit Islam = Death in Iran

"Under the proposed law, anyone who is born to Muslim parents and decides to convert to another faith, will face the death penalty."

So what happened when they all converted from Zoroastrianism to Islam in the first place?

Who is calling who an apostate in Iran.

The European Union has criticised the new penal code being drafted in Iran, particularly a section that imposes the death penalty for giving up Islam.

And of course the Moslems were the first apostates themselves, when they converted out of Zoroastrianism.
