How the British \"rescued\"

\'Abdu\'l-Baha while murdering 8-10 million Iranians during WWI

\"As the two Indian cavalry brigades fighting under British General Edmund Allenby helped liberate Haifa from the Turkish-German forces, the British authorities heaved a sigh of relief. In a cable, General Allenby wrote, \"Have today taken Palestine. Notify the world that Abdu\'l Baha is safe.\" 

The spiritual leader of Baha’i religion, a faith that began to emerge in the Ottomon empire in the 19th century, lived in Haifa, in present-day Israel. Alarmed by the growing popularity of Abdu\'l Baha and his humanitarian and religious activities, the Turkish commander-in-chief threatened to crucify Abdu\'l Baha on Mount Carmel in Haifa and destroy all the shrines of the Baha’i faith as soon as the Ottomans won the war. 

When the news of the death threat spread amongst the British community in Egypt and elsewhere in Europe, Major Tudor-Pole, an intelligence officer with the British army in Palestine and a follower of Abdu\'l Baha, persuaded the military authorities to rescue the leader.\"
