Logic is absent in these descendants of Prophet Muhamad Mustafa (SAWS) and His Ahle-Bayt. Do they not realize that they behave towards the Baha’is the same way the Arabs and Jews to Muhammad? This is why Baha’u'llah’s interpretation of “Return” makes so much sense. This persecution only further confirms the beauty and truth of Baha’u'llah’s message.

On second thought, this wasn’t the sort of ugly desecration and smearing usually resorted to by ‘religious’ criminals, who think of Baha’is, Jews, and so on as unclean, but so visibly need to make the filth themselves. Rather, the complete erasing of the site, including removal of the remains of the water tank, etc., is more like the acts of ‘religious leaders’ or ‘people in high positions’, who then take the land for their own use at no cost. How soon will this ‘unused’ land be taken, and who will it be given to?

This behaviour on the part of the authorities, mirrors that of spoiled, petulant children who are told “no”. One almost expects them to next throw themselves on the ground kicking and screaming … what incredible shame they bring to their office and to their country.

The synthesis that is taking place at the World Council of Churches allows everyone to believe what they will as long as they agree with the Vatican. Papal law is still in effect and the Hegellian/dictatorial attitude is prevelent in the documentation.

To the Islamic authorities:

You did not succeed forcing Baha’is recant their faith. Are you trying to convert the deceased Baha’is to Islam by not allowing them rest in peace, adhering to thier burial laws?

It is unbelievable how low the authorities do stoop. What do they think they can accomplish by preventing a burial.

Is it going to be a victory for Islam, if a deceased is buried in another city and a Baha’i law is not adhered to?

What are the authorities really scared of? Baha’is are less than half a percent of the population of Iran! why are they spending so much energy and finaces of the country for spreading hatred?

Clearly, the Islamic Revolutionary authorities not only know about Baha’u'llah’s requirement that Baha’is bury their dead within one hour’s travel time of the place of death, but have dcided to use such knowledge as a means of abusing the Baha’is still further. These people have no shame.
