The situation there for the Baha'is is terrible! Thanks for posting this!

This is the psychological truth that only advanced psychologists OR people with common sense and reason can see. The baha'i faith is NOT "the religion of God" and god does not fuckin' have a religion. Nobdy knows anything about god, so shut up and stop taking bullshit for granted. Life is a mistery and so it should stay, ruiners of charm.

..otherwise I would be a bahai. Personal reasons my ass, just trying to be intelligent and honest, mr.hypocrit. Few people have intellectual integrity, and I'm one of them. Baha'i faith aims for power.

And baha'is have the martyrdom syndrome that ONLY comes from persian culture. Martyrdom syndrome is YOUR fault and nobody else's. You complain and weep but it's you who make yourself martyrs.

the "personal reasons" that make me say the truth, that is the the bahais believe the bahai faith will be the world's dominant religion AND political institution, are the fact that I was born in a bahai family, been a baha'i for twenty years, and then fuckin' grew a brain.

but then, baha'is will try hard to look good and diplomatic and innocuous to the resr of the world. The bahai faith which I know better than most baha'is IS conducive to power lust. The system is crippled, period...

The situation of the peaceful, innocent, community-service-oriented Bahaís in Iran is so obvious and there is soooo much evidence supporting their innocence, virtue and complete disinterest in any kind of "power" that it is truly sad that there are some who, for whatever personal reasons, choose to imagine that the Bahaís themselves are somehow, even indirectly, responsible for their own persecution.

[duckotaco]

@thomasahowe wrong. They are being persecuted because they claim power, and obviously other people want power too.

@hicksvillelong baha'i leaders plan nothing less than world domination. I am not kidding. Look it up. That is why they are being arrested. Nobody gives a shit about their beliefs. World domination is the problem.

[hicksvillelong]

Yes , Everyone has right to follow whatever religion .

no one has right to stop to anyone from following his religion.

I am sad to know ,hear ,see these kind of inhumanity is still existing ,even encouraged by some governments.

Let there be mutual respect for each religions !

Excellent, albeit necessarily brief, summary of this situation. The innocent Baha'is are clearly being persecuted solely for their religious beliefs.
