I read Mr. Abtahi's post last week but did not have a chance to react before now:
Isn't it strange that the "Head of the Interreligious Dialogue Institute" does not even realize what he is writing, and that when threading on thin ice, perhaps he should watch his steps in order not to crack it.
In order to cover-up for the recent attack on Christians because they are trying to "convert" Muslims in Iran, Mr. Abtahi tells us that "the present world is the world of dialogue among religions and their cooperation", and that although it is easier for Muslims to accept Judaism and Christianity, as they existed before Islam, the Christians, thanks to the Vatican II Council, have accepted to have a dialogue and cooperate with Muslims.
With all this thirst for dialogue among religions, I think one should ask Mr. Abtahi how he feels about the Muslim accepting the Bahais, who came after Islam? And why they are not included as partners in his Institute.
Of course, he does not accept comments on his blog, but I will email him the link to this post... and will let you know if he responds.

Hi Arthemis,
just wanted to say that your blog's logo is one the most beautiful ones I've seen.
Thank you, Neda-jan, this means so much more coming from an artist :-)
Great point about Baha’is. Even thought Muslim religion came after Christianity, still Muslims have been doing well in Christian countries.
As a Christian who has lived in many Muslim countries, I must say that Muslim have indeed more rights in Christian countries that Christians in Muslim countries. Look at Saudi Arabia who will not allow any Church to be build but they have built many in the Western countries.
Look at the Armenians in Iran, they are not allowed to serve in government jobs but have to go through mandatory military services. The Food shops owned by non-Muslim must display a warning on their windows. I can go on…., Hypocrisy among so called “religious” Mullahs is just beyond understanding. I hope one, Iran will have an opportunity to show the world what a real and peacefull Muslim can do.
