Consequently, it’s better for Abdul Baha’s globe trotting to be investigated:

1)   Uning the media power: The Excellency Abbas Effendi was going to use the media and its effect on the public thoughts in order to represent a pretty and reverse nature the Baha’ism. Exploiting the modern western slogans and attributing them to the Baha’is made prophet, Abdul Baha tried to expand the Baha’ism interviews with the journalists are of the proof.[1]

2)  Using the influence of the Christian priests: Although some Christian lords disagreed with Abdul Baha’s trip to the west[2]; but Abdul Baha tried to attract the Christian priests to himself in his meetings (which were mostly held in churches) without speaking about faith. He wanted to gain a footing for himself using their influence. As he says among the Christians: “Today, I read a new Bible; that is, the Excellency Bahaullah’s statements instead of old Testament and the Bible.[3]

3)  Using the influence of the western thinkers: To expand his thoughts, Abbas Effendi visited some thinkers in order to exploit their influence. His visit with people such as Edward Brown and etc. is a proof. His presence among the black-skinned and using the atmosphere of discrimination and attracting the black-skinned are of  his struggles.

4)  Visiting the politicians: Abbas Effendi’s visits with the leaders and politicians was previously acted as a political dealing to advance both sides’ aims and benefits. The despotic leaders in the world exploited the Baha’is agents for spying and anti-was teachings.[4]

5)  Visiting the Iranian princes and ambassadors: In the trip, Abdul Baha tried to visit the Iranian officials settling abroad to affect on them and to provide opportunities for them to come back to Iran (where was called the holy land).[5]

6)  Building Mashrequl Azkar [Dawning place of the Mention of God]: In his trips, Abbas Effendi tried to create a symbol of the Baha’i community in various countries (called Mashrequl Azkar) as a center for proselytizing Baha’ism. As we read: “The first stone of Mashrequl Azkar was… on May, 1st, 1912 by Abdul Baha’s blessed hands in the beautiful village called Wilmette…[6]

     Consequently, contrary to what the media networks are going to demonstrate as Abdul Baha’s spiritual trips, it should be noted that his trips have been done aiming the political collusions to proceed the organization aims of the cult in the world. The other note which is apparent in his trips is Abdul Baha’s dependence on the power centers (rather than depending on people) to advance his aims.
