So many blessed members of the Faith of Baha'u'llah, deprived of rights of education, many homes and business burned by arson, many tortured and imprisoned, many executed, including 10 women in a single day in 1983.

I have known many relatives who have lost loved ones to fanatic divines and their wicked, tortuous henchmen.

this is Not what Muhammad, praise be unto Him,taught: "there is no compulsion in religion!" Yet, again and again, Baha'i defend Muslims

Pedram,it is a good thing to care about unity of Iranian people and I am with you, but division comes by spreading hatred, and saying things like your comment.

I am also proud of persain language, but do not we need to communicate with others? Can we force world to talk to us in Persian?

[jasontarheels]

Do you think that there is a unity in Iran that Bahais want to destroy it? What is that unity? Killing Innocent people who just want their vote to be counted in streets by so called security forces? Does this brutality and corruption look like unity to you?

You cannot talk in behalf of all Iranian. Iranians are Moslems, Zoroastrians, Bahai and so on, and most of them unlike you and current government, respect other people’s faiths
