Dear Ms. Junko Ishido

Dear Ms. Junko Ishido

I watched the last video of Kenji Goto in which he had said he was going to write for the press about what ISIL was and why it was present in Syria.

I believe discovering the truth needs a truth-seeking soul and I do praise you for nurturing such a child.

Please accept my sincere condolences as a journalist, a mother and as an Iranian. However you will always feel the pain of very stressful moment your child was in captive and the time you heard the news of his death.

Dear Junko Ishido! Not everybody has the courage to choose how to die and your son consciously stepped on a path in which he became eternal.

Kenji Goto in his last video had requested that whatever happens to him, the Syrian nation should not be blamed, because the Syrian nation had suffered a lot during the past three and half years.

As a colleague of your son who monitors the news in Syria and Iraq for years and witness the murder of innocent people, I kindly request you to accept your son’s request.

ISIL terrorists have not only slaughtered many Muslims in Iraq and Syria, but they have also killed anyone who wants to discover the truth including Kenji Goto.

The cruel ISIL cult had before murdered many other journalists who had gone to Syria.

Dear Junko Ishido! God Almighty in our holy book Quran says if a wicked person gives you news, investigate about it in order not to be regretful later.

Your son was killed in search for truth. He wanted to know what ISIL was.

Let me give you a version of my holy book Quran so that after reading it you would see ISIL has nothing to do with Islam and does not know Prophet Mohammad.

Regards

Atefeh Talqani
