Although the Baha’is are pretending to be oppressed and consider the Babis massacre during Qajar dynasty as the document for their oppression, but the existent documents narrate another reality because the Babism leader issued an order for the massacre of his opponents. As Abdul Baha has said: “You must be fair. The utterance of the [book or religion] of Bayan in the day of the appearance of the Highness A’la (Bab) was to behead, burn the books, destroy the monuments, and massacre [everyone] but those who believed [in the Bab’s religion] and verified it[1].”
The self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism has clearly confessed the Babis savagery and written: “Those who reject have resorted to four words: 1) beheading 2) burning books 3) avoiding the non-Babis 4) destroying parties.[2]”
However, lest Abdul Baha hasn’t considered a religion which causes massacre as better not to existent: “If religion causes massacre and savagery, it won’t be a religion. Irreligiousness is better because religion is remedy. If remedy causes illness; of course helplessness is better; so if religion cause war and massacre, of course irreligiousness will be better[3].” Now, what will be the consequence of such massacres and crimes by the Babis and the abolishment of it by Baha’ism?!
