Ghazal Omid has received many words of support for her autobiography, Living in Hell.You are doing great work and I know God is very grateful for the work you are doing. Hoa Chen, Kissimmee, Florida, United States Dear Ghazal Omid,I saw your interview on UPI TV with Larry Motiff and I just want to compliment you on the good work that you are doing. I am deeply moved by the horrors of your childhood yet I am soooooooooo proud of you for going beyond hell by doing the work of God. Did you know that Jesus came from a lineage directly linked to Tamar? Tamar, in the Old Testament, committed adultery by disguising herself as a prostitute in order to sleep with her father-in-law, Judah. From this lineage came Jesus. I guess my point here is that God can use people in the most mysterious and unexpected ways. Tamar is one of the greatest heroes in God's providence. You are doing great work and I know God is very grateful for the work you are doing. You are living for the sake of others and you are doing it at the risk of your life. God loves you very much for that. Jesus said "those who try to save their life will loose it; but those who give up their life for my sake will gain it". You are giving up your life for the sake of others therefore the law of the universe will protect you. Thanks again for doing the great work of God. God knows you and God loves you very very much! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Amen! Thanks for speaking out Dan Forsman, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Thanks for speaking out and sharing your story with the world. I only hope more of the media picks up the abuse and degradation that muslim women suffer and they attempt to liberate these souls.You are my HERO, you are everyone's hero! Ms. Marti Morris, Columbia, South Carolina, USA I saw you on Fox News last night and I am so proud of you! You are a hero for every woman on the face of this earth. I am so sorry you were forced to live a such brutal life in Iran.Nobody deserves that! Iran is such a cruel country and clearly ruled by Satan. I thank GOD that you are safe and away from that horror. You are my HERO, you are everyone's hero! May God always bless you and protect you! Big hugs for you, my dear. I am praying for your message to be heard by ears and hearts that need to be opened Joy Pugh, Durant, Oklahoma, USA Hello Ghazal,I saw your interview on Fox News and I am very interested in your book.

Congratulations on your awards.I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story,it was enlightening, and encouraging. I always say speak your mind, believe in yourself, your words, and your right to belong.

Also as a woman how can you teach your fellow sisters back home that what they'r tought to think is wrong? Would it not be a taunting task for you as an individual to address this? I du understand what you are going through and what you feel for others back home but how would you really address this issue?

I really enjoyed listening to you tell your story. ..... You are a voice that needs to be heard. It is unfortunate that there are not more muslims out there speaking out against corrupt regimes like Iran's.I,like you,believe that most muslims are peace loving people and it is unfortunate that the radical minority seem to dominate the news headlines.... Keep up the good fight. There are a lot of people out there who will be glad you are doing what you are doing. May God Bless and protect you, I pray in Jesus name. Amen...." JIM I just finished your magnificent book! wells,karin, peterborough, NH, United States "...I never understood this and have blamed myself all of these years wondering what I did wrong that anyone would do this to me. Now I understand more about male behavior in the Iranian culture and I can put this incident to rest. I feel so much compassion for these sad and twisted souls - but from a safe distance.It is heartbreaking that both sexes have to suffer so needlessly in Iran. The womens lives are too often hopeless and men are raised to be selfish psychopaths who can neither give nor receive love - raised to be monsters by their own abused and tormented mothers. ... ...books like your can change our world by bringing understanding to diverse cultures. I am glad that God, Allah, or whomever, has made you strong enough and good enough to have brought your important and much needed message to the western world. ..." All Best, Karin Wells |
