  1. باندوه بسیار، می بایست سرنوشت ایران وتاریخ ونام بزرگانش ازگذشته وحال مورددستبرد قرارگیرد ودیگران ازنام آنان سود جویی کنند، که ازجمله است زنده یاد ونام«ابراهیم پورداود»که ایران وزرتشت بنام بود، واگرچه هم برزبان«عربی» چیره گی داشت، چنانکه بردیگرزبانهایی چون«انگلیسی، آلمانی، فرانسه و…»، اما این زبانِ عربی دانستن اوسبب نمی شود که دیگرملیتی عهده دارشناسایی او گردد، ونه هم میهنان وبویژه شاگردانی که دردامن پُر مهر آن خرد مند میهن دوست پرورید شده اند!؟ احمد رناسی
