Friday Prayer Leader in Rafsanjan proposes expelling all Baha’is

Hojjat-al-Islam Abbas Ramadanipour

The Friday Prayer leader of Rafsanjan, Hojjat-al-Islam Abbas Ramadanipour said that there were a number of “sects” in the province, and because people were ignorant they were able to live and work among ordinary people, without being recognized.

He said that a number of Jews were also working in the city bazaar, but the difference between them and the Baha’is was, that the Baha’is are “unclean.”

After outlining the history of the Shaykhi, Babi and Baha’i sects, and claiming that the latter had Russian support, he repeated that the Baha’is are “unclean” and business dealings with them are religiously forbidden (haram), and said “this sect has established many activities and programs in our city, and the people’s legitimate demand that they should not be in the city should be implemented.”
