By: Davoud Mehrvarz

Bahaismiran: The Iranian researchers have expressed two different views regarding the relationship between the first Bab and Babism with Colonial clubs. Some of them consider the Colonial powers as the main factors in establishing and creating the origin of Babism movement supporting it with the historical evidence. Several other researchers consider Babism to be created by itself without the interference of the hegemonistic powers in this movement after its onset and expansion.

The mentioned historian and researchers are unanimous about the interference of the Colonial government in creating Baha’ism (or at least in strengthening and development). Most of those who have assumed Babism as a revolutionary movement have stipulated that Babism has basically been Colonial. Expressing the Baha’ism supporting by the British ambassador, Dr. Muhammad Javad Sheikhul Islami has written: During the recent 100 years, the Iranian Babis and Baha’ism have obeyed the British political policies in the west. Praising them by the British chancellor is a usual issue. Ahmad Kasravi has assumed the Baha’ism leadership as dependent and attached with the Czar Colonialism in early stages of its appearance and later on with the British Emperor (Late world War I)

Ismaeel Raeen believes that the Baha’is were shared for the Czar Russian and after the murder of Ali Muhammad Bab due to the branches and changes in disciples and fans of Ali Muhammad Bab and Azalis were shared for London after the dominance of England on Cyprus.

Dr. Fereydon Adamiat’s view is strongly negative towards Baha’is.

According to him, Azalism and Bahaism which are originated from Baha’ism are two political religions which are related to the Russian and British Colonialisms during the history and have been supported by them. Muhammad Reza Fashahi’s view regarding Baha’ism is basically negative.

Ehsan Tabari hasn’t assumed Hussein Ali Baha’s disagreement with the religious and national bigotries to which Baha’is are proud.
