فتوای آيت الله منتظری شجاعانه است، اگر به مکتوبات جريان روشنفکری دينی نگريسته شود. اگر برخوردهای سرکوبگرانه ی رژيم جمهوری اسلامی با بهائيان را بتوان ناديده گرفت، اگر نگاه حوزه های دينی شيعی به بهائيان را بتوان ناديده گرفت، سکوت معنادار بسياری از روشنفکران دينی نسبت به بهائيان را نمی توان ناديده گرفت. روشنفکران دينی در خصوص حقوق بشر بسيار سخن گفته و می گويند.ولی در خصوص يکی از مهمترين موارد نقض حقوق بشر در ايران سکوت اختيار کرده اند. اعتراض به ستم هايی که به بهائيان می شود و دفاع از حقوق اساسی آنها وظيفه ی روشنفکری دينی است. در حاشيه ی فتوای نماد مقاومت و مبارزه و پاکی، به عنوان يک مسلمان شيعه( شيعه ی غير غالی کثرت گرا)، چند نکته را بيان می دارم:>>>

But this year I will have spoken at 4 events. More than I have done in the last 4 years combined. The subject of my talk was an expose of international ethnographic research. Spilling the beans on all of the cock ups, mess ups and screwy clients I had experienced over the years. A side note: I had called V to say I look ‘hot’ walking up 46th Street to the conference Hotel (the Marriott). She had asked if I looked hot and sweaty. I think she is so familiar with my look she has lost all sense of how good looking I have now become.>>>
