		<description>Yes Barmak, I agree with you there I lived in Iran for 3 years prior to the coming of the new regime, I found Iranians to be wonderful kind hospitable
and helpful when during the revolution  I unabe to go out shopping with my children
The Neighbours  were wonderful and brought us food and were so very nice#
but since then they are told lies by the new regime and I dont call it Islamic because it doesnt say in the Koran to kill otheer because of their belief.</description>

		<description>Dear Diane, the vast majority of Muslims in Iran love the Baha&#039;is. It is the small minority of rulers and their supporters who are blinded by hate and bigotry. We shall and must pray for them too.</description>

		<description>Baha&#039;u&#039;llah did not choose to be sent to Israel he was exiled there and in prison and so remained. Jewish people are created by the same Allah. God or whichever name you call him by, same as Christians , Muslims and Bahais.

God created the human race to become united and not to be predjudiced against his creation, It is only for God to judge  his creation and not mere mortal.
We love Muslims but they unfortunatley do not love Us.</description>

		<description>How long must the Baha&#039;is of Iran continue their suffering under  such a fanatical  interpretation of Islam.        &quot; There is no compulsion in religion&quot;.. says the Qu&#039;ran.  The word religion comes from the Latin word, &#039; religio&#039;.. which means to &quot; bind together&quot; and the question is  -   Is present day Islam binding together the hearts of the world?  No.  It&#039;s time the Mullahs, priests, and clergy of all religions ceased their existence.</description>

		<description>Qorban-Ali&#039;s letter to VAVAK&#039;s head, to use the Baha&#039;is as scapegoats, so resembles Hovayda&#039;s last letter to SAVAK&#039;s head, to use the Baha&#039;is as scapegoats.  

Makes one wonder is Qorban-Ali is the reincarnation of Hovayda, VAVAK the reincarnation of SAVAK and Sultan Khamanie the reincarnation of the late Shah.

Instead of killing innocent people, mullahs should all make a pilgrimage to the grave site of Cyrus the Great. There they should beg forgiveness from him and put into law Cyrus’ Declaration of Human Rights in Iran instead of their 7th century Gog and Magog laws.</description>

		<description>Jews don&#039;t accept Zoroaster, Buddah, Krishna or Christ becuase neither &quot;are&quot;  in their book and also Christ came after Moses. Christians don&#039;t accept Zoroaster, Buddah or Krishna as they are not in their book. They also along with the Jews and Zoroastrians and followers of Buddah and Krishna don&#039;t accept Mohammd, as he came after them and is not in their books. Muslims don&#039;t accept Krishna and Buddah because Arabs of the 7th century had not heard of these two great profits and they keep up with the tradition and don&#039;t accept The Bab and Baha&#039;u&#039;llah they are not in Koran. Baha&#039;is on the other hand accept all the religions of the past and their followers come from members of each of the above religions who have discovered that religion should be the cause of unity and not enmity. That religion is progressive unfoldment of God&#039;s lessons for his people. That all the profits are mentioned in all the books and can be found by true seekers who desire to discover the mysteries of God. That we are all the leaves of one tree and the fruits of on branch. That God from the begining of creation, has annointed and infused the spirits of many of his people to become lights of guidance to his children and to lead them out of darkness. That God will continue to raise up spirits to manifest his divine blessings for ever and ever to tell us God&#039;s unfolding story of creation and it&#039;s purpose based on our level of understanding and not Gods. That he desired to be known and that&#039;s the reason he created the earth and populated with his creatures. That he created the planets, galaxies, universes and worlds that are beyond our understanding. That God will do as He pleases and as his creatures our first duty after accepting God as our creator is to search for him imdependantly, without prejudices, dogmas and superstitions of the past and upon discovering his words to swim in the ocean of His words and partake of it&#039;s fruits. God surely is not in need of our prayers or gratitude. He desires our love and that comes not but turning our backs on Him and putting limitations on what God in His estimation desired to reveal to His people on the far flung corners of His planet from the begining of time and into the future. God is one. Mankind is one. And all the religions agree. However those who seek to exalt themselves by putting limitations on God have erred and as such have shown pride towards God and turned away from the prophets of the past as they do of the future. This is how they live their lives as we all witness. This is how they God is Great and Merciful, yet they rule swords and rain blows upon God&#039;s followers. Little they know that even if all the heavens and the earth arise God&#039;s true followers, they are never and shall never be able to stop God. His grace is everlasting and is He is the Supreme protector and ruler of the kingdom of creation.</description>

		<description>I request that Iran&#039;s &quot;James Bond&quot; in accordance with all the articles of Iran&#039;s constitution, arrests all imposters who are not mentioned in the Holy Koran and sends them to Evin. My online search of Koran revealed there are no &quot;Ayatollah&quot; and &quot;Mullah&quot; or &quot;Mollah&quot; in Koran. Therefore, these are spies and should be arrested and their organizations outlawed as they have relations with Saudis who are Wahhabi. They not only travel there often and send money to Saudis but also hold talks and have relations with the Iraqi Al Sistani and visit his home town and send money to him too. These people pose a threat to Iran&#039;s national security as not only they are not mentioned in the Holy Koran,  they are also not mentioned in our constitution.</description>

		<description>&quot;The documents, evidence and oral testimony which have been gathered so far prove that the said organization [i.e. the Baha&#039;i community] has been directly in touch with foreign enemies of the people of Iran&quot;.

Mr. D.Najafabadi, the declaration of Bab happened in 1844.
When do you want to show us and the world, the evidences which prove that Baha&#039;is are the enemies of Iran??</description>

		<description>Abdul Baha, in Paris Talks addressed this very situation, 98 years ago.
 
NINTH PRINCIPLE,  THE NON-INTERFERENCE OF RELIGION WITH POLITICS
November 17th, 1911 

&quot;With political questions the clergy, however, have nothing to do! Religious matters should not be confused with politics in the present state of the world (for their interests are not identical). 

Religion concerns matters of the heart, of the spirit, and of morals. 

Politics are occupied with the material things of life. Religious teachers should not invade the realm of politics; they should concern themselves with the spiritual education of the people; they should ever give good counsel to men, trying to serve God and human kind; they should endeavour to awaken spiritual aspiration, and strive to enlarge the understanding and knowledge of humanity, to improve morals, and to increase the love for justice. 

Each man has been placed in a post of honour, which he must not desert. A humble workman who commits an injustice is as much to blame as a renowned tyrant. Thus we all have our choice between justice and injustice. 

I hope that each one of you will become just, and direct your thoughts towards the unity of mankind; that you will never harm your neighbours nor speak ill of any one; that you will respect the rights of all men, and be more concerned for the interests of others than for your own. Thus will you become torches of Divine justice, acting in accordance with the Teaching of Bahá&#039;u&#039;lláh, who, during His life, bore innumerable trials and persecutions in order to show forth to the world of mankind the virtues of the World of Divinity, making it possible for you to realize the supremacy of the spirit, and to rejoice in the Justice of God. 

By His Mercy, the Divine Bounty will be showered upon you, and for this I pray! 

This is in accordance with the Teaching of Bahá&#039;u&#039;lláh. In the Gospel also it is written, `Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar&#039;s, and unto God the things which are God&#039;s&#039;. 

In Persia there are some amongst the important Ministers of State who are religious, who are exemplary, who worship God, and who fear to disobey His Laws, who judge justly and rule their people with Equity. Other Governors there are in this land who have no fear of God before their eyes, who think not of the consequences of their actions, working for their own desires, and these have brought Persia into great trouble and difficulty. 

Oh, friends of God, be living examples of justice! So that by the Mercy of God, the world may see in your actions that you manifest the attributes of justice and mercy. 

Justice is not limited, it is a universal quality. Its operation must be carried out in all classes, from the highest to the lowest. Justice must be sacred, and the rights of all the people must be considered. Desire for others only that which you desire for yourselves. Then shall we rejoice in the Sun of Justice, which shines from the Horizon of God.

Each man has been placed in a post of honour, which he must not desert. A humble workman who commits an injustice is as much to blame as a renowned tyrant. Thus we all have our choice between justice and injustice. 

I hope that each one of you will become just, and direct your thoughts towards the unity of mankind; that you will never harm your neighbours nor speak ill of any one; that you will respect the rights of all men, and be more concerned for the interests of others than for your own.
