What Next MR. President?
Presidential Decree Orders destruction of Tomb of Persian National Hero Firuzan
The tomb of Firuzan commonly known as Emamadeh Abu-lolo (or Abu Lulu) in Kashahn, Isfahan province is being destroyed by decree of the Islamic Republic of Iran's President Ahmadinejad. Following a Cultural Policy coherent supported since the victory of the Revolution back in 1979, where anything deemed 'Taghouti' aka 'Royalist' or particularly not deemed 'Islamic' should be wiped out.
After the green light given to construct the Divand Dam that will hurt some of the major sites of archeological and historical interest, another Presidential decree will be applying another of its disasterous actions to further hurt Iran's cultural legacy for future generations.
A large crowd of Iranians gathered outside the governor's office on Tuesday, June 26th, to voice their objection regarding the destruction of the Iranian heritage, and a shrine which was one of the symbols of Iranian resistance against the Arab invaders in 7th century CE, and to some, a Shia and a revered Sufi.
At the assembly a large number of Sunni scholars asked Iran for the destruction of the tomb'.
'Imagine the Germans asking Britain to destroy the graves of the brains behind the British plan to kill Hitler [Operation Foxley] during WWII, sine it is considered an insult to Protestants - would the British accept that? - the murder of Omar by Firuz[an] wasn't to do with religion, it was simply removing a despot and a tyrant from the face of the earth - as the British wanted to do the same with Hitler', said N. one of the protestors outside the governor's office in Kashan.
Firuzan mausoleum located on the road from Kashan to Fins, constructed in an eleventh century distinctive Persian-Khwarezmian dynastic architectural style, consisted of a courtyard, porch and conical dome decorated with turquoise coloured tiles, and painted ceilings.
The Original date of it's construction is unknown, but in second-half of fourteen century it was fully restored and a new tombstone was placed over his grave.
