Habib Moa’yyed writes narrated by Abdul Baha: He said after he told his words: O’ Effendi (addressing Abdul Baha), it is good for you to lower your note and make peace. I said: peace? How good; ok, nothing is better than this, but how: He said: He means money. He wants money. It is good. Don’t stint and pay money. I said (Abdul Baha): Ok, sit down to bring you money. Sa’duddin Ramadan got happy and though I would go and bring a sack of sterling… He stood up to wear his shoes, I slapped him hard. I want to slap him again, he escaped…[1]”
Yes, Abdul Baha was slapping people while he had selected the strategy of tolerating tyranny for the Baha’is: “…If a tyrant tyrannized you and attacked you like a wild wolf, the divine disciples must be surrendered like sheep; so they mustn’t resist but they must counteract sword by nectar and milk. They must tolerate wounds in their livers and kiss the killer’s hand and must be killed in the divine path and ask forgiveness for the tyrant.[2]”
What a null advertisement and demagogy!
