Every attack on the Faith brings with it a greater measure of support, and we thank you all for it. It's sad, indeed that it works that way. I'm reminded of a Quicksilver Messenger Service song, "What About Me?" - "You keep adding to our numbers, as you shoot my people down!" - indeed sad. Let's work for it to stop!!

sad

Since when God, or the Messengers of the Past thought mankind to treat their fellow man in this manner, because of their religion they cannot get an education! Aren't we lowering the standards of the Manifestations when we things that harm humanity. Baha'u'llah thought us to live in unity and harmony, consider everyone as brothers and sisters. What harm is there in this. "The earth is but one country and mankind it's citizens".
