Supporting Baha’is by Muhammad Reza Pahlavi had increased to such an extent that he decided to recognize the deviant cult of Baha’ism formally. Consequently, Jamal Abdul Nasir, the Egyptian president revealed the issue: “The Egyptian president, Jamal Abdul Nasir said the Iranian king has become Baha’i and violated the Islamic laws. He added that the Iranian king is following a path ordered by the Excellency Bahaullah. “[The history of 15th of Khordad Movement narrated by the documents, Vol. 1, document No. 82.2]
Anyway, Baha’is are trying to reject the absolute historical realities and to impregnate this lie that Baha’is were living in poverty during the Pahlavi era and were oppressed!
However, the most important note in the Baha’is situation in the Pahlavi dynasty especially the second Pahlavi was their presence in the government layers extensively which is contradictory with their slogan of the cult. Of course the deviant cult of Baha’ism doesn’t possess any acceptable justification except for its expansion in the government pillars and political and economic exploitations. Can Dr. Ayadi and Saniee’s influences in the Pahlavi court be deniable? Can the presence of Habib Pasal, Alqaniyan and etc. be deniable in the economic fields? Can the presence of Mrs. Farrokhrou Parsa as a Baha’i in culture and education fields be deniable? Can the presence of Baha’is in SAVAK be ignorable? Now, the deviant cult of Baha’ism must answer the following question:
How can the deviant cult of Baha’ism justify the Baha’is presence in the pillars of the second Pahlavi?! Isn’t it as considered as the intervening in the policy?!
