Explaining about the claimed tyrannies exerted on the Baha’is of Yazd and Isfahan by Muslims. Abdul Baha has simulated the Baha’is of these cities to Imam Hussein’s (P.H.) disciples and considered Iranian people worse than the Excellency Lord of the martyrs’ (P.H.) killers: “Praise be to God; for a thousand of year, the Iranian people particularly the Shias were crying and sorrowing for the Excellency Lord of the martyrs that the unclean Yazid ran horses on the dead body of the martyr.
Jesus Christ has said: Your fathers killed the prophets of God and you are improving their graves, bowing down, visiting as pilgrims and kissing. This statement is true about the Iranian people. People killed the Excellency Imam Hussein (P.H.). Now, the killers’ offspring are sorrowing and crying for him and improving people’s ignorance.[1]”
The following notes are worthy to be mentioned regarding criticizing and investigating the Baha’i leaders:
1) In which historical book, the Baha’ism leaders’ claims concerning the repression of the Baha’is in Yazd and Isfahan cities have been written? The extensive genocide claimed by the Baha’i leaders is just a lie and the Baha’i leaders themselves weren’t there, too. For example; at that time, (nearly end of the 13th century S.H.) the statistic of the Baha’is of Yazd city who belong to minorities were estimated as 5000 houses[2] which were nearly 25000 people as the population of the Baha’is! While according to statistics, the current population of all Baha’is in Iran is less than 50000 people[3]! How many people were existing in Yazd city at t5hat time out of which 25000ones were Baha’is!!!
2) It is interesting to be known that the false leaders of Baha’ism have committed wild action including plundering and exasperating women and Baha’i kids[4], attributing the slaughtering the Baha’is[5] and even tearing the dead bodies of the Baha’is up to Muslim people of Iran[6] in order to intrigue people’s sense of sympathy towards the treacherous cult of Baha’ism.
3) After attributing these fables to Muslim people of Iran, Abdul Baha has called the Iranian people as insurgent people, wolves[7], the wild[8], dogs, tyrants, Shem and Yazid[9], wilder than wild people of Africa[10] corrupt and stone-hearted[11] and etc.
4) Comparing the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (P.H.) which was performed to revitalize the religion of Islam and to reform the messenger of God’s (P.H.) nation with the followers of the deviant cult of Baha’ism isn’t acceptable! While Colonialism made creating branches in the Iranian Islamic community and to create spies. For instance, when the Baha’is encountered with hardship refuged to the embassy of Russian Czar country[12]
5) Abdul Baha has introduced the reason for the lack of counteraction of Baha’is against the claimed tyrannies as their mission for peace and prohibition of fighting! As a matter of fact, the self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism removed all of his rivals physically[13]. How was it possible for his followers not to be able to defend themselves?! Abdul Baha who had likened the Muslims Iranian people to savage wolves had said: Surrendering wolves is tyranny against sheep.[14]
6) Abdul Baha has assumed the method of tyrannized Baha’is as praying for tyrant.[15] What the reason for cursing and insulting against the Iranian people?![16]
7) Why didn’t the Baha’is repent like their leader, Bab?![17] Why didn’t reject their beliefs like their leader Abdul Baha?![18]
