In order to expand their proselytizings and to influence on the public opinions and thoughts, Baha’is misuse the power of electronic media, internet and satellite. The proselytizing presence in sites and their weblogs indicate Baha’is aim to perk Baha’i teachings as principles which are in accordance with the needs of today communities.
1. Proselytizing and exaggerating the Baha’i teachings[1]: It is necessary for each faith to state and make its commandments clear. This commandments are in close attachments with human daily requirements personally or socially. However, no commandment has been mentioned in most Baha’i sites. They are trying to pretend their teachings as the theological principles. They are trying to perk their made faith as an up-to-date one. Baha’is don’t pay attention and believe in resurrection and the day of judgment.
2. Introducing celebrities: Baha’is have tried to show that their leaders are great in their sites and writings.
