Baha'i Faith - A Painting by former UHJ Member Hooper Dunbar |
Every now and then we hear a cry “Baha’is are persecuted in Iran”, through media, I did some research and found few astonishing truth, few of which I would like to mention here, first let me brief about this movement, how it started, and who were the Godfathers.
Russian and British Struggle to gain supremacy
During the 19th century, Britain had firm control over India; at the same time Russia had been expanding south and east into
Central Asia towards India,
and a rivalry started between Britain
and Russia over territorial
and political control in Central Asia. The
middle zone of land that was located between India and Russian holdings,
included Persia, and was a highly coveted region, where both Russia and Britain
worked to gain influence. (Amanat Page
23.)
Russians won
the game
The
foundation of the Baha’i Faith to Russian influence is a memory attributed to
Dmitri Ivanovich Dolgorukov (also known as Dolgoruki), who was the Russian
ambassador to Persia from 1846 to 1854. The memory states that Dolgorukov
created the Babi and Baha’i religions so as to weaken Iran and
Shi'ite Islam. Baha’is denied this fact and questioned, badly written book
“Memories of Dolgorukov” and refuting the book on ground that it had no
historical proofs. Well there is a proof from a Baha’i historian who has
mentioned in his book.
“A
Brief History of Baha’u’llah” Author Mirza Javad Qazvini, printed in 1914.
While describing about Baha’u’llah’s plight in prison after the failed attempt
on Shah of Iran’s life he recorded:
“There he remained until the Ambassador of Russian Government interceded in His behalf and for His protection that our Great Lord was entirely innocent regarding that event and that He never had anything to do with it, and His innocence was established, He was freed from the prison through the endeavors of the said Ambassador, where upon it was decided under the conditions and persecutions to exile Him to the city of Baghdad. Then Baha’u’llah left Tehran with His family guarded throughout the way by a guard sent by Shah of Persia and another guard sent by the Russian Embassy, until they reached the city of Baghdad.” (A Brief History of Baha’u’llah” page - 7)
Author
of the book was very close companion of Baha’u’llah and served him throughout
his life, he was present most of time with Baha’u’llah, he has mentioned in his
book all incidents that occurred and he has witnessed. Here question arises why
the Russian Ambassador was so keen in getting out a Persian man, and making
safe passage for him to Baghdad..?
British Knighthood
Some
how after demise of Baha’u’llah Russian lost their control over Baha’ism, from
the time of Abdul Baha, during the war, to overthrow Ottoman Empire Abdul Baha
helped British Army with food, shelter and logistics, British government awarded
him the title of “Sir” and “British Knighthood”, Baha’is claimed that this was
given for humanitarian ground but they hid the certificate of Knighthood and
never showed it publicly, as it mentioned the cause is not humanitarian ground
but in service of Her Majesty Queen.
Zionist captured the movement
After
the death of Abdul Baha, Shoghi Effendi took the chair of Guardian and was
enjoying his life, In 1948 Zionist occupied Palestine and entire Baha’i cause
came in their control since all the so called holy places - the shrine of Bab,
Baha’u’llah, Abdul Baha were in Israel. Zionist took over the charge of
Baha’ism and started controlling Shoghi, as per their instructions he made a
call of “Great Migration” and told Baha’is to migrate to all over the world,
establish Assemblies and start purchasing land for Baha’i Temple and Baha’i
Center, so that espionage networks can be setup.
Baha’is activities in Iran
During
the time of Shah Mohammed Raza Pahlavi Baha’is have developed strong network. From
1950 onwards they were controlling Shah also - here are a few names which were
discovered after the Iranian revolution.
Shah's personal physician, Abdul Karim Ayadi
was a Baha’i. While Asadullah Sanii, another Baha’i, was appointed Minister of
Defense, the Baha’i community of Iran apparently revoked his
administrative rights, as he had accepted a political position and Baha’is are
prohibited from involvement in politics (nice cover). The public, however,
still continued to associate him with his previous religion. Parviz Sabeti, a
SAVAK official, was raised in a Baha’i family, but had left the religion and
apparently was not a member of the community by the time he started working
with the agency.
Other people who were associated with the
Baha’i Faith either had Baha’i backgrounds or were connected with the religion.
For example, it was often rumored that the Prime Minister Amir-Abbas Hoveida
was a Baha’i. While Hoveida's father had been a Baha’i, he claimed that he had
left the religion. Other people rumored to be Baha’i included Mahnaz Afkhami,
who was the Minister for Women's Affairs and the daughter of a Baha’i mother, (Source Fazel, Seena
B., The Baha'is of Iran: Socio-historical studies, New York, Page 186)
After
Iranian revolution Baha’is continued their espionage work and when Iranian Government
cracked on them, most of them who were convicted of ‘waging a war against nation’
were either executed or were put behind bars.
Baha’i propagandist
International
Community, United Nation, Human Rights Organization are receiving huge amount
of money from Baha’i funds (which is collected throughout the world) to create
situation against Iran and make slogans and cry. Their propaganda is Baha’is
are persecuted on grounds of their faith, their teachings, their moral classes etc.
The Facts
√
Baha’is
are involved in Espionage activities against Iran,
they are serving the cause of Israel,
under cover of an Independent World Religion.
√
They
are not busy in conducting moral classes but poisoning the youth against various
religions and working to destabilize the governments of various countries. For
Eg. In 2009 Iranian Presidential elections, many Baha’is, who reside out of Iran launched
the campaign “Dude where is my Vote?”
√
Every
nation has right to safe guard its territory it is common rule that if some one
found in espionage activities will be punished so why so much fuss when Iran is
doing the same.
√
In
so many country Baha’is were caught red handed in espionage activities,
necessary action was taken against them, why there were no fuss about those
country, because their target is only Iran. They were deported from Uzbekistan, arrested in Indonesia, Jailed in Sri
Lanka, Jailed and warned in India.
Time to wakeup
The
Human Rights Resolution in UN against persecutions of Baha’is is failed,
espionage activity undercover of faith is exposed, the faith itself is dying,
within a span of 60 years, numerous questions from new generation about the faith
still remains unanswered, most of the Baha’is are becoming ‘spiritually dead’,
most of them abandoned the faith, those who are attached are just attending
feast for purpose of socializing, fake statistics are exposed. Baha’ism is
dying its own death, the Titanic sinking gradually, contribution for the funds has
decreased, morality dead, ABMs and Counselors involved in various scandals. Let
the Zionists remove their hands and see whether Baha’ism as a faith can
survive..?
Message to the Godfathers of Baha’ism
Godfathers
of this cult should realize that so called religion has become a liability, there
are no more fruits left, lost the case in US, more than 10 division in faith,
Baha’i think-tank failed to answer questions which are being raised by ‘Covenant
Breakers’, damage control program failed, 99+ youth conference failed, Ruhi
books failed, nothing left to rejoice. The cult is exposed and Baha’is
withdrawing their memberships in masses or preferring to remain inactive. The
census of every country is a witness to this.
Even the Nazis justified persecuting Jews with outlandish conspiracy theories so why should it be surprising that the Iranians would justify persecuting the Baha'is with conspiracy theories. The real reason the Iranian mullah regime went after the Baha'is is because the religion dared to posit another prophet after Muhammed. Instead of relegating this to theological debate and a gentlemen's argreement to agree to disagree the fascist Ayatollahs set out to abolish the religion. But they needed rationalizations beyond theocratic chauvinism so they argue these dubious conspiracy theories and a big lie is spread. Had the Iranian regime maintained the initial reason for persecuting the Baha'is it would have shown to the world their religious intolerance so they argue instead that Baha'is are spies in league with a world Jewish conspiracy or the British monarchy.
ReplyDeleteMy question is would the Islamic Republic of Iran tolerate a religion based on the teachings of a supposed messenger post Muhammad like Mormonism, Unificationism, Scientology etc.? Or would the mullah state resort to same conspiracy claims to disallow a religion that dares to contradict its belief that Muhammad was the last prophet?
>Even the Nazis justified persecuting Jews with outlandish conspiracy theories
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Baha'i Faith, Jews were persecuted for so many years because they refused to believe in Jesus.
>The real reason the Iranian mullah regime went after the Baha'is is because the religion dared to posit another prophet after Muhammed.
I think no. There are a few Sikhs in Iran, they also have their Temple and they openly profess their religion, founder of Sikhi is also a prophet after Mohammed. I think Baha'is are persecuted because of their belief in establishing a Baha'i World Super-State and their absolute submission to their Stalinist supreme administrative body.
>fascist Ayatollahs
Actually fascists are your cult leaders. Read some articles by former historian scholar, Juan Cole.
>so they argue instead that Baha'is are spies in league with a world Jewish conspiracy or the British monarchy.
Actually Baha'i leaders were all spies, if not spies, they worked in the interests of some colonialist countries. Baha'u'llah served Russians, Abdul Baha served the British interests in Palestine and Shoghi Effendi co-operated with Zionist Israel State. Do you really think the UHJ enjoys so many perks only because Israel loves and respects this 'Religion'? If it were so, there would not have been a contract in force that Baha'is will not teach Israeli citizens!
>My question is would the Islamic Republic of Iran tolerate a religion based on the teachings of a supposed messenger post Muhammad
I cannot speak for the Islamic Republic, but this is for sure that Baha'u'llah was a cheater, rascal and scoundrel. He was an opportunist Babi who broke the Babi covenant by refusing to pay allegiance to Subh-i-Azal.
>Or would the mullah state resort to same conspiracy claims to disallow a religion that dares to contradict its belief that Muhammad was the last prophet?
The claims that were once considered to be "Conspiracy Theories" are being proved to be true facts. With the advent of Internet - Baha'is are facing great challenges. The relationship of Baha'i leaders with anti-Islamic forces is becoming clearer day by day.
