The most stupid movement in this regard has been done by the Excellency Ishraq Khawari (one of the Baha’i proselytizers). He narrates the story of several Babis headed by Mulla Hussein Boshrouyee who were killed and compared that event with Ashoura event. Even the number of Babi killed in the battle were 72. [Refer to Rahiq Makhtoum, Vol. 1, pp. 117-120]

     Several notes must be mentioned:

1)   Ishraq Khawari has immodestly compared Iranian people with Yazid.

2)   It is written in the book Noqtatul Kaf ( one of the valid books of Baha’ism): “A group of people went and rushed at night, dominated the village and killed 130 people. The rest escaped. The Excellency disciples destroyed the village and took all the provision to the castle.” [Noqtatul Kaf, p. 101

     Anyway, the Baha’i proselytizers and heads answered: “Are those who plundered Tabarsi castle and massacred the unarmed villagers tyrants or those who confronted them?

     Has Ashoura ceremonies in Iran and in the Shiite Muslim countries been weakened?!

     Not only Ashoura event hasn’t been weakened but also it has been strengthened ever before. In the demonstration of Arbaeen in 1395, 27 million Shiite Muslims were present in Karbala city.
