First of all, the very fact that we are exchanging blogs and ideas in this fashion is a freedom which any Baha'i in Iran would envy. That's just a start. Kawthar, keep on, bro! It warms my heart to see this posted. I have saved an open blog called 'Baha'i Epistolary' It's a blog about the affects of the Seven Baha'i Prisoners. It contains links to many blog articles, including Iran Presswatch, and others. If you get the chance, our US website www.bahai.us - which got me here, incidentally - features a letter which is written to the Prosecutor General. That'll keep you busy for a time - but of course, feel free to comment. For the Baha'is in the crowd, have a blessed Fast - I work grave shift, and this happens to be my day off; otherwise, I'd be few and far between. I'll stand by, see what comments this brings.

It is ironic that one of the unintended consequences of the persecution of the Baha'is in Iran is that thousands have left already and taken the Faith with them to just about every country of the world. This actually fulfills Bible prophecy in Jeremiah that says there will be no place on earth where the "outcasts of Elam (Persia) shall not come." Unfortunately for Iran, these Baha'is also take their expertise in many fields with them to the benefit of the countries they move to thus depriving Iran of some great talent. It is interesting how persecution, which the perpetrators think will stamp out the Faith, actually results in spreading it. Siavash, thanks for your interesting and kind words.

This One manifests Itself in and through all creation, but is not absorbed by Its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God. I have traveled quite a bit at my young age and have come across Muslims, bahai's intimately. I have nothing but great praise and admiration for the bahai followers. They respected me without needing to know my religion or background. I told them I'm muslim to see what their reaction would be. It was the most unexpected one. They wished me to teach them about the muslim faith so that they can better their undrestanding of their own faith. The point being such a religion posses grave danger to the current theocracy in iran. Bahai is the only faith that I have come across that directly questions many of the truths held by muslim followers and tries to give a new explination one might say even a better one. It's just like the time christianity decided to show up in middle of a jewish state. The head clergy will not let such a religion ruin their plans of a state run by fear and the construed version of the islam that they portray. Dear Bahai people your persecution will never end with this regime for your beliefs are at direct odds with that of the tyrants in the country. For now the best thing is just to leave and wait for the time when this country will finally wake up.

In the )Ocean of India culture, religions and people are respected, and the diversity only adds to the beauty and atraction that makes all the visitors, all the people know know a bit of this mystical land honor and respect the country and its people, its constitution. You can see muslims and Hindus, as the most extreme case of differnt ideologies hand in hand serve their country with love.
