Bahais do not even have any clergy so why do the Mullahs feel so threatend? Those who follow blindly should ask themselves this question and try to find the answer by reading for them selves instead of listening to anyone else who is afraid they might become redundant financially. Bahais do not take money from anyone other than the Bahais themselves which is to help social economic development and to help the poor.besides some administration.
Bahais do not kill or blow people up and certainly dont convert others.

The fist principal for seekers is independant search after the truth and to know by your own investigation and not by your neighbours. However if some one does inquire we will direct them to the source for further learning and loan books or invite them into our homes to tell them about the peacefull message from Bahaullah.

Sigh
The shame is a persistant one, the one that belongs to how and why on earth our Bahai population is discriminated generation after generation in the country their faith is essentially sprouted from. I mean there is no way to justify, no way to change the mindset of these governments who come and go and for no clear reason are intimidated by the clear peaceful message of the faith. I am not a Bahai, but the many Bahais around the world I have seen, had been very respectful people promoting peace and hormony and truth.
The only way I can consolidate is that Our Bahais are not the only group being discriminated, though they are one of the groups who are more harshly dealt with, as to having no rights , no rights at all. ABHA to the Bahais of Iran and those around the world, may His Devine Plan change the course of events as to make us all celebrate for all the good causes in our little troubled MIddle East. Amen

Although the date for the declaration of the Bab was on the 23rd May in 1844. Bahai holy days begin after sunset on the eve of the date and end at sunset on the acctual date. We celebrate them on the eve of the holy day and do not work on the acctual day.

Except for the Martyrdom of the Bab which we hold memorials for at the exact time mid day on July 9th, (in the UK its 1pm due to the summer time changes) 1950 in Tabriz.therefore its quite understandable for someone new to the Bahai Faith to think its the 22nd when we celebrate.

Thank you Mid East youth. I am a Baha’i from Puerto Rico. I have Linked your article to myspace.com where I have a blog. In my country we have Christian Cemeteries that are starting to look like the Baha’s Cemeteries in Iran, government neglect is the cause of this.

Baha’is do have the right o take uptheir own political csuse as abstention from divisive politcal activity is areligious law.

There is something deeply pathological about religious prejudice so strong that it pursues people beyond the grave.

I sensitively defend all ethnic and minority groups in Iran. This is also a way to fight the totalitarian IRI. Futhermore, they are religiously and socially deserve to be defended. This is solely due to my humanistic and secular views.

The Bahai faith was founded in Iran a century and half ago. Its extension reflects dedication to the ideal of world citizenship.

It proposes advice about human nature and the prospects for a common future. For me, this is a relatively progressive phenomenon.

However, I am not going to find a unifying vision in a divine belief like followers of in any religion. Now if Baha’u'llah, was a God’s picked-hand prophet or a leader of a cult, for me he remains a social phenomenone.

I am sure that the driving force behind the psychology of human nature looks for an intervention of the Divine.

This “Divine” can even be more present in moral and spiritual faculties that reached into ethnically, transcendent figures as Krishna, Buda, and thoughts of New Ages. It may atten to new dimensions of reality when our natural sciences can better explain the philosophy of being.
