An Iranian mother, who had already written a letter to sympathize with the mother of a Japanese freelance journalist killed by Daesh Takfiri terrorists, has written a letter to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ahead of his landmark visit to Iran.

The Iranian mother, Atefeh Talqani, who is also a journalist, wrote a letter to the mother of Kenji Goto Jogo, a freelance Japanese journalist, who was captured by Daesh Takfiri terrorists in October 2014 in Syria and was then beheaded by the group in January 2015 after negotiations for his released failed.

In that letter, Atefeh Talqani expressed sympathy with Jogo’s mother, Junko Ishido, after the latter penned a letter to the Japanese prime minister begging Shinzo Abe to secure his son’s release.

“Please accept my sympathy in these bitter and stressful moments. I know that you wish … time could be stopped forever, so that the Daesh deadline for your son would not arrive,” said part of the letter by Talqani.

Now, as Abe is scheduled to pay an important visit to Iran on Wednesday, Talqani has written a letter to Abe, asking him to take a bottle of rosewater as gift to the mother of the slain Japanese journo and convey to her the message that what Daesh and groups like it do in the name of Islam has nothing to do with the genuine teachings of Islam.

The letter starts with commending the efforts made by the government of Abe to secure the release of the Japanese journalist, noting, “The satanic cult of Daesh has never abided by any agreement and treaty and the death of your compatriot, not only wrenched the heart of the people of the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’, but also all peace-loving people of the world.”

“For a while, I have been intending to give a gift to Ms. Ishido to thank her for raising a human being who sought truth and a child who loved peace,” Talqani said, adding, “Now that Your Excellency are in Iran, I use this opportunity to offer a bottle of ‘rosewater’ to her and I’m sure that you will help me do this.”

Talqani then explained that Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) had strongly advised his followers to wear perfumes smelling of different flowers every day, while urging them to avoid telling lies, because lying will cause humans to do acts of corruption.

“The satanic cult of Daesh, which is trying to pretend they carry the flag of Islam through their false claims and by writing the name of ‘Muhammad the Prophet of God’ on their black banner, has killed journalist Goto, while Islam is the religion of peace, friendship, and kindness. Islam is the religion of moderation,” the Iranian mother wrote in her letter.

“However, members of the Daesh terrorist group kill Muslims, Christians, Jews and innocent followers of other religions under false pretexts in mosques, churches, cities and villages, because they have lost the truth.”

Concluding her letter, Talqani wrote, “I know that the [memory of] bitter days of losing a son will never end for Ms. Ishido and I hope Kenji Goto Jogo’s children would continue to tread the path of their peace-loving and truth-seeking father to realize a ‘world free from war’ in a very near future.”
