Question: What is the reason for supporting the Baha’ism cult by the Czar Russian Colonialism? While the Russian Empire was the enemy of Islam at that period of time?!
Answer: The Baha’i leaders have confessed supporting Baha’ism by the Colonial powers. So, the self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism has said concerning the reason for supporting Baha’ism by the Czar Russian Empire: “Because the Russian government observed a great number of the member of this party and also observed it was increasing, so it intended to figure out the reality for the aims of the party. It collected all the books and tablets across the country to such an extent that one surprises how it was possible. It gathered those who were experts in the Eastern words and investigated and searched about all the books, epistles and tablets. Thus, it figured out the reality of the creed and the aims of the party and its teachings when it figured out the reality, it supported the oppressed party truly.[1]”
The Baha’i proselytizers believe that the Russian Empire has believed in Baha’ism. The answer is that why there isn’t any historical report concerning believing in Baha’ism by the Czar Russian Empire?! Yes, the reality is that the Russian support is due to creating riot and disunity in Iran.
The followers of the deviant cult of Baha’ism must know that the Russian then government as one of the number one enemies of Iran and Islam seized many cities of our country during several Colonial contracts. It was going to change the population structure of these cities and to put Shias who were in majority into minority and to destroy the spirit of anti-arrogance of pure Islam by the Baha’is.[2] So, it provided facilities for the cities like Bukhara, Samarkand, Ashgabat, Tashkent and Merv to be safe havens for the Baha’is.[3]
