Any other faith is denied a passport. The situation is very similar in Egypt at present, a country that is being dominated by Sunni Muslims. In other words, in a number of Muslim countries Baha'is are not welcome, but are also not able to leave legally. How we all long for the day in which the Iranian people will finally realize that the promised One, upon whom they so often call, has already been among them and has blessed them with the supreme treasure of His Cause. On that day they will truly be the envy of the world!

Such questions ignore the mission of service to humanity that Baha'is choose to endorse. In the 1950s, thousands of Persian Baha’is joined pioneers from many other countries sometimes in hostile countries, so as to help nascent Baha’i communities in their spiritual growth. They were arising to help the spiritual revival of the planet. Baha’is know well that unless and until religious strife is replaced by love and collaboration between the believers of the various religions that dispense the teachings of the one and same God, the many ills that threaten the survival of humanity will not be possible. The Bab, Baha’u’llah and Abdu’l-Baha never fled in the face of persecution, and now that Iran most needs their spiritual support, Baha’is who can do so, choose to stay and serve their beloved home-land.
