I believe some day those trees will be replanted, that a garden beautiful beyond our imaginings will mark the spot where this heartless vandalism took place. Even if we must wait generations to do this, we will not forget. We will repair this damage many times over and invite those who were our former enemies to rejoice with us. "We can well perceive how the whole human race is encompassed with great, with incalculable afflictions. We see it languishing on its bed of sickness, sore-tried and disillusioned. They that are intoxicated by self-conceit have interposed themselves between it and the Divine and infallible Physician. Witness how they have entangled all men, themselves included, in the mesh of their devices. They can neither discover the cause of the disease, nor have they any knowledge of the remedy. They have conceived the straight to be crooked, and have imagined their friend an enemy." - Baha'u'llah, Tabernacle of Unity Dear Karen, All:

One day I had a conversation with a mentally retarded man who taught me a lesson: I said if the earth with everything in it explodes it will be an insignificant event in the universe, small explosion, and no one cares; but the man said "you are wrong, someone does care." At this point I felt ashamed of myself, because Someone does indeed care, Someone hears the anguish of a donky and the cry of the trees. and the earth will not explode, but peace will be on earth.

Every bahá'í is working for this world, for following Bahá'u'lláh's laws, and every of us are trying to teach, to light hearts around us with this message. All I can say is that every pure soul in this world will be recompensed for everything good he does, and we must be sure that Bahá'u'lláh is with us when we suffer phisical pain for The Cause, so we must not be worried. I almost cry with that story of that poor donkey, I admit it is not its fault, so that's not fair, I pray every day for this world, and I wish every bahá'í will persist and be happy with his duty. I really hope you understand my english. My english is not really good, but I think I can say something about this.

May God's Glory be upon the Baha'is of Isfahan who have endured and persevered through this, and all the Baha'is of Iran! It makes my blood boil sometimes to hear of the injustices perpetrated against you, and my heart aches for longing to join you. These people cannot harm the Baha'i faith even with their slander. What we as Baha'is should really be doing is working to help clear the names of benevolent and merciful Muslims who would have nothing to do with such atrocities.
