Yes, blame the victims… always works in the Muslim world.

No one here tries to blame the victims; but, to play devil’s advocate, lets suppose so. that is the lesson we learnt from G.W.Bush, when his majesty blames Iraqis who attack American soldiers.

However, Mohammad Anjavinejad, the preacher who was addressing the crowd at the mosque, reportedly cast doubt on the accident theory, saying that the force of the blast and the presence of an individual who planted a package in the building suggested otherwise.

Maybe we should re-examine the idea of a terrorist act. I would imagine that if the government secretly thinks its terrorism or the Baha’is which would be un-likley because the Baha’is have a reputation thats rock solid for non-violence, they will begin to crack down in some form, publicly or privately.

First how do you know Bahai’s disbelive? Did you research yourself or was told to you by another religous leader? Second who in this case was chastised?

Mohammad Memarian I agree with you but in the news they said in there they were doing anti bahai propoganda probably means they are not saying anything good about them and it I know that even in city of shiraz many times in the mosques they arose people against bahais. Thanks for your comments though.

My sister, Mona was named after the 17yr old girl, Mona Mahmudnizhad who was hanged for teaching Baha’i Sunday school. It is also the future place of Baha’i pilgrimage, along with Turkey and Baghdad.

nice priniciples, especially with regards to the fact that people may follow them without any need to officially convert to Bahaism… somehow universal values they are.

Why is Iran following proudly alone an anti-Baha’i policy?

many believe that Iranian top officials in several fronts takes all the risks on behalf of those who refuse to share the expenses.

for example, in the case of Mideast conflict, many arab leaders benefit from it being updated with as much violence as possible, and Iran exactly advances this agenda as a front leader. who pays the price? just Iran; who benefits? all.

equally, in the case of Bahais, I think that many countries would be featured on front pages if it were not up to Iran to do the job. again, many elite sects benefit from the Iranian position, though refuse to pay the price.

I agree with Mohammad. In long term, many would know how bahais are, at least normal people who have no hostility like mullahs.
I didnt know much about Bahais, not knowing as good or even bad guys. I didnt really know.
But lately I’ve understood that it is sometimes hard for someone to becomes a Bahai. You know why? Because they are very very nice guys and it seems hard for others to be a Bahai!!! I think this goodness is somehow related to their belief.
