The BAHAI QUESTION ?
The Iranian government's long term strategy to destroy the Bahá'í community without bringing undue international attention was cruelly outlined in a secret 2005 memorandum that aimed at establishing policy regarding "the Bahá'í question."read more on http://www.bahai.org/
-----"Bahá'u'lláh in prison was able to proclaim and establish the foundations of peace although two despotic kings were His enemies and oppressors. The King of Persia, Násiri'd-Dín Sháh, had killed twenty thousand Bahá'ís, martyrs who in absolute severance and complete willingness offered their lives joyfully for their faith. These two powerful and tyrannical kings could not withstand a prisoner; this Prisoner upheld the standard of humanity and brought the people of the Orient into agreement and unity ".

Doing mean things to Bahai people is like pouring petrol on a fire.

" The stream of conversions of Muslim `ulama slowed a little after the intense persecutions of the Babi period but it by no means stopped. Several of the most prominent followers of Baha'u'llah had previously been important Muslim clerics. Of the 19 persons named by Shoghi Effendi as "Apostles of Baha'u'llah" (q.v.), at least ten were `ulama and of these four had been prominent mullas or mujtahids before their conversion."

Very moving indeed, with beautiful music ("7 Martyrs" was particularly moving.) I have always thought the Spiritual Assembly members of Iran 1980 must have been an extremely special group to have been given the chance to quaff the Cup of Martyrdom as together an Assembly(assuming they have been killed). Thank you for sharing with me faces that I can now put to such a heroic point.

Bahailer tum Ilahi dinlere inanirlar. Hz.Muhammed ve kutsal kitabi olmadan Bahai dini bugunku varligini ilan edemezdi. Hz. Muhammed belli bir donemi sonlandirmis Ilahi bir Zuhurdur buna karsi kimse duramaz. "We are all members of the same family" Peace and love everyone :) MAy God bless you all.

In case Uleka doesn't speak English here is the Turkish translation for you:"Dinler insanlari birlestiricidir, ayriliga sebep oluyorsa onsuz olmak en iyisidir buyuruyor Allah bugun. Unutmamak gerekir ki tum insanlari yaratan Allahtir ve tum dinler de O'nun katindan gelmistir. Ben de Bahaiyim ve su an yasadigim yere bakinca Muslumanlara cok iyi bakmadiklarini goruyorum ama ben elimden geldigince dinin iceriginin nasil aslinda bariscil oldugunu anlatiyorum.

Religion should bring unity if it is creating disunity it is better without it. This is what God tells us. We MUST always remember that God created all of us and all religions are from him. I'm a Baha'i yes but the place I live is not very friendly to Muslims but I always protect every religion and their believers because we all believe in the same God/Allah.

Let me quote US president, George Bush. It was 20 September 2001 and he was a little irked. Here's what he said:"I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the world. We respect your faith. It's practiced freely by many millions of Americans, and by millions more in countries that America counts as friends. Its teachings are good and peaceful..."

"IranPersia" Look him up in wikipedia. What's amazing to me is you use him as a crutch for your argument that the Baha'is aren't discriminated against when he was executed for crimes against Islam? He wasn't even Baha'i, and he was executed for his beliefs. Being Baha'i was a false rumor to shake him from power.

'iranpersia' it was a rumour, no proof to back yourself up on. bahai's do not get involved in political affairs, therefore even if he was a bahai it was a label to destroy the faith, and it wont work.

The situation is not as bad as they make it out to be in this clip. Lets not forget the only non-muslim Iranian Prime Minister was a Bahai by the name of Abbas Hoveida.

Spoken like a true follower of your Iranian president Kosheshneshad. Your facts are flawed in that the Iranian Prime Minister wasn't Bahai he may not have been Muslim but he wasn't counted among the members of the Bahai. Any government that has not completely separated church and state fails its people because it can not guarantee all of its people's safety. Mexico following the lead of Benito Juarez was able to successfully split Mexico's church from state. Iran will follow.

1)Is that why Islamic Republic of Iran executed this only non-Muslim Iranian Prime Minister?2) Hoveida and even his father were never a Bahai in any point of their His grandfather was a Bahai and his political opponents always tried to use this fact against him and he did whatever he could do to prove that he is not a Bahai and that is why when he was a president many of sacred Bahai places were destroyed
(Reply) (Remove) (Block User) (Spam)

zarandioon (6 months ago) Marked as spam
3)It is part of Bahai's beliefs that they should not interfere in politics because it has contradiction with their spiritual standards and this is another reason why Hoveida was never a Bahai.4)It is interesting that over 100 years of history you have found this instance to prove that the situation of Bahais is not that much bad but it is itself just another proof that Bahais have always been persecuted even in Shah's regime

For Bahá'ís of Muslim background, Bahá'u'lláh fulfils the promise of the Qur'an for the "Day of God" and the "Great Announcement," when "God" will come down "overshadowed with clouds." They see in the dramatic events of the Bábí and Bahá'í movements the fulfillment of many traditional statements of Muhammad, which have long been a puzzle

It is amazing that you have guessed the secret!One must ask themselves why there was need to counter Islamic religion in Iran. Today there are 350,000 Baha'is still in Iran. At the time of the revolution in 1979, hundreds of thousands of the Iranian Baha'is spread all over the world, to Canada and the United States, and to Australia and New Zealand, to countries in Europe and Africa.

Mona the angel of Shiraz--L'ANGE DE SHIRAZ

Mona aged 17 to-gether with 10 woman was executed for doing sunday school her religion was BAHAI, because of her youth and conspicuous innocence became, in a sense, a symbol of the group. In prison, she was lashed on the soles of her feet with a cable and forced to walk on bleeding feet.Yet she never waivered in her faith, even to the point of kissing the hands of her executioner, and then the rope, before putting it around her own throat.





*********

Noon 9th july 1850
A young man was being led captive through the crowded streets. His neck was encased in a huge iron collar. Long ropes were fastened to the collar by means of which he was pulled through the rows of people lining the streets. When he faltered in his steps, the guards savagely jerked him on his way, or delivered a brutal well-aimed kick. Occasionally someone would dart out of the crowd, break through the guards, and strike the young man with a fist or a stick. Cheers of delight from the crowd accompanied each successful attack. When a stone or a piece of refuse, hurled from the mob, struck the young captive in the face, the guards and the crowd would burst into laughter. 'Rescue yourself, O great hero!' one of the pursuers called mockingly. 'Break asunder your bonds! produce for us a miracle!'
