Comments on: My Father’s Imprisonment http://www.iranpresswatch.org/post/1387 Documenting the Persecution of the Baha'i Community in Iran Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:45:12 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: WorldCitizen http://www.iranpresswatch.org/post/1387/comment-page-1#comment-560 WorldCitizen Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:08:27 +0000 http://www.iranpresswatch.org/?p=1387#comment-560 This is really heart-breaking. It is so shocking to see that religious leaders who should be the guide and the leader of love,unity,and peace to the public are telling lies ,decieving people,and stimulating their religious sentiments to eradicate the oppressed Bahais within the country. The latest news about Mr. Dorri NajafAbadi is an interview with Press TV. There he mentions that Bahais have all facilities in Iran and they have shown great kindness to all of them. The only problem with them seems to be their relations with the enemies of the Islamic Republic. I, personally, as an Iranian Bahai demand the trials of all the Islamic Republic authorities within international courts for their cruel actions and deeds for so many years so that all the world would know what has happened to them throughout the whole 30 years from such religious autocracy and dictatorship. I really pay immense tribute to the holy souls of the seven leaders of the Bahai Faith to accept their fate so humbly and with deep love and certitude to Baha'u'llah ,Abdu'lBaha,Shoghi Effendi,and the Universal House of Justice and to submit themselves to the Hands of God and to be pleased and content of their fate,whatever it maybe. I do also appreciate all others prisoners in the cells who have forsaken their material life and are enduring all these hardships to prove the truthfulness and righteousness of their faith.

The resources and the funds exist within reasonable reach. Reflecting on words of Baha the needed change to this injustice will come about by "a change in the heart". Being more agressive in informing the masses maybe a positive step in that direction that could shed light and honor on this mans father and Baha.

Why must they think everyone should be the same as them ? Same clothes ? Same food? Same religion? What is wrong with being as God created us ? Different colours ? Different minds ?

How can human beings be so cruel to each other?
Why must they think everyone should be the same as them ?
Same clothes ?
Same food?
Same religion?
What is wrong with being as God created us ?
Different colours ?
Different minds ?
Different Religions?
We are all the creation of one God and by murdering those of a different belief its like criticising God and his creation.

You are in our prayers o dearest brothers and sisters of Bahá.

The myriad tribulations you face bring tears to our eyes

The corrupt inclinations you endure shatter every limb within our bodies

The tortures you receive cause nightmares for our souls; such nightmares that we question how humans can torture one another the way they are now

The separations you face from your families bestir unbalancing emotions, causing the equilibrium of our hearts to shift with undesirable reasons

Though, dearest brothers and sisters, you face these harsh conditions…

The denial of your beliefs raise a vibrant, loving support for this Cause

The cruelty you receive has awakened the friends of Iran; of all religious, economic, and social backgrounds, to support you for the purity you have demonstrated throughout your lives

The ridicule you face empower the friends of the East and West to strive, day and night, to lift the Banner of the Most Great Peace

The shame put upon you motivates the world to great heights of sacrifice; heights aimed to lessen the pains you may face as quickly as possible

Dearest Behrouz Tavakkoli, Fariba Kamalabadi, Vahid Tizfahm, Mahvash Sabet, Jamaloddin Khanjani, Saeid Rezaie and Afif Naeimi, as well as all others imprisoned for the injustices they face:

You are in our prayers. Every moment we hear of your pain we feel pain. The separations you face from legal council and your beloved family members…no words can describe at this moment how terrible we feel about this denial of rightful access.

These words written may possibly never reach you, though spiritually our hearts are bonded together by the All-Embracing, Divinely-Unified Cause of God.

The Blessed Beauty once said to Nāṣiri’d-Dīn Shāh of Iran,

“The hand of the will of thy Lord, the Compassionate, the Merciful, transformed Me. Can any one speak forth of his own accord that for which all men, both high and low, will protest against him? Nay, by Him Who taught the Pen the eternal mysteries, save him whom the grace of the Almighty, the All-Powerful, hath strengthened. The Pen of the Most High addresseth Me saying: Fear not.” -Bahá’u'lláh

How valid these words are even today.
