As the world tries to grapple with the pandemic, the Baha’is have been busy trying to promulgate their borrowed beliefs through countless webinars. It’s rather ironical, that the so-called faith which takes pride in its plagiarised beliefs has done virtually nothing to help humanity scale out of the crisis. Oneness of humanity, anyone?
Baha'i population in Nepal falls from 0.01% (in 2001) to 0.0% (in 2011)

Baha'is inflating their population numbers is now exposed to everyone and a wise person knows very well that he should never trust the Baha'is in anything.
First of all, "cult" is not really a valid sociological term; it's mainly a psychological term. Sociologists use the term "new religious movement" out of neutrality, even for movements which we all know to be cults, i.e. Heaven's Gate. So, DavidbinOwen's appeals to sociology here fall flat. There is no single authorized definition or criteria for determining what is and is not a cult, but there are certain psychological models we can make use of in evaluating the destructive character of organizations. As far as I am concerned, Steven Hassan's BITE model (Behavior control, information control, thought control, and emotional control) fits the Baha'i Faith perfectly. Steven Hassan simply uses the term cult to mean an organization which exerts undue influence through these four means, and although this is obviously not an exhaustive definition, it is a useful one.
Are the Baha’is Muslims? Is marriage permissible with them?

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to meet and discuss with Muslim scholars about the Baha’i Faith and to benefit from their views about it. At the same time, I have met many people, who harbor doubts about the Faith and its connection with Islam. Are Baha’is Muslims? Is it permissible to marry a Baha’i? What are their beliefs? These are amongst the most common questions raised by ordinary Muslims about the Baha’i Faith.
From among the ‘gems’ spouted by the founders of the Baha’i cult is the idea that if a religion causes enmity and hatred, its non-existence is better than its existence.

2. Literature Review
"The purpose of review is to ensure that minimal standards of accuracy, conformity with the Teachings, and dignity of presentation of the Faith are maintained in works that present the Baha’i Faith to the public." This is, according to the Research Office at the Baha’i National Center in Wilmette, Illinois, the primary function of the review process. Review was established by Abdu'l-Bahá early in 20th century, at a time when the Baha’i Faith was quite new and was spreading rapidly westward. It is considered to be necessary only until the time when the Faith is well known throughout the world and the danger of misrepresentation, whether innocently or intentionally, by individuals is disappeared.79 Every Baha’i must submit his or her work to a review committee if it is to be published and if the Baha’i Faith is to be treated to any degree within the work.80
An Examination of Suppression and Distortion in 20th Century Baha'i Literature - part1

Introduction
While searching for information about the Sufism during the latter part of the 19th century, British orientalist Edward Granville Browne, came upon an account of Ali Muhammad Shirazi, the Bab (Gate), an obscure Persian who was killed in 1850. He was immediately captivated by the stories of dedication displayed by the Bab and his disciples. Browne hoped to visit Persia for years, but from that point, it was to become a pilgrimage for the young scholar as he began his quest for the Babis, the followers of the young prophet.1
