I have read some of Dr. Soroush\u2019s work and I place him among the highest thinkers of our time. Criticism is healthy and I always welcome criticism on my work or other scholars too. But this is not criticism; instead it is an insult on a scholar. It sounded like a criticism at the beginning, and that is why I read it, but unfortunately by the time I finished reading it, I was very angry at the lies packed in this text. But it didn\u2019t have a writer\u2019s name, so I can only guess where it came from. I wish I could find the writer, I had some questions from him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. M.
