These innocent souls are being tested with their very lives and freedom. Fortunately, they have all passed their individual spiritual test in their Faith in God. May we all pass our own spiritual tests which in magnitude is incomparable to their tests. We also learned from history that the Cause of God is always victorious at the end! All that this persecutions will do is to strengthen their Faith and advance/propel world's recognition of this great Cause!

The hope we hold for the Baha'is of Iran is the same hope we feel for all Iranians, for all Iran, for all the world. If the conditions of Baha'is improve in Iran, the condition of ALL will improve. This I believe with all my heart. (May be I am a dreamer, but wouldn't it make better sense for Iran's government to end the mistreatment of Baha'is and issue visas to Baha'i pilgrims, instead?)

The goung generation will have to rewrite the constitutions and the future. The present leadership will sooner or later realise that life on earth will come to an end. They will have their moment to reflect when their time comes, I promise you this much. To the Bahai's, Kia Kaha! Kia Kaha! Kia Kaha! The inhumane treatment is unbeleivable.

It is an insult to the leadership of Iran that has sunk into the abyss of desperation that has to resort to such tactics. Every plan Aya Khamanei and his mollah try to destroy your Faith gets no where. We Iranians are smart and progressive. It's our leadership that is driving in reverse. sb jaan,

Who in Iran could be insulted by a simple burial ceremony and headstone? Clearly withholding burial certificates to the Baha'is strains even the capacity of the Iranian municipal authorities; otherwise they would not have reconsidered and issued the certificate in Semnan. This shocking treatment baffles me! It is so intentionally cruel! What contingencies do Baha'is have in the Villashahr case? I know this is not a new form of persecution and that Iranian Baha'is have been denied access to burial certificates in the past. Still, it is defies all humanitarian consideration. Don't the Iranian authorities have better things to ordain for the good of its citizens? What a wasteful, pitiful concentration of municipal powers. Isn't it deadly tiring to orchestrate this kind of persecution? What good can it hold? What greater insult can there be than to restrict a group of people from burying their own beloved dead according to their heartfelt belief?

Is what awaits you any different than what had awaited all those killers before you? While you still can, leave a name behind for yourself and FREE these people.
