In bicentenary celebration of Tahireh Qorratul Ein birthday, Mrs. Kar praised Tahireh’s status as an Iranian Baha’i woman in a ceremony where the Iranian Baha’is residing in Virginia, America had participated there. The meeting went on happily while Mrs. Kar asked the audience at the end of her speech:

     “Close your eyes and imagine Tahireh has come here bravely now. Can she become a member of the Universal House of Justice?”

     Then, Mrs. Kar wrote in her Facebook page:

     “Posing the question, I found out that the meeting became fundamentally changed. I didn’t receive any conviencing answer. I hoped them to tell about their discriminative and sexual shortages without resorting to the religious justification. Respecting sexuality can’t be completed just by praising Tahireh unless the universal house of justice follow the gender equality in authority domain.”

     Mrs. Kar’s question arose various reactions. Several Baha’is and non-Baha’is opposed and some defended her. The most important note is that the question has been posed by women rights activist and the proselytizers and managers of the Baha’ism organization can’t deviate her ideas out of minds. The following is the debate between Mrs. Kar and Kavian Sadeq Zadeh Milani:

     The Excellency Kavian Sadeq Zadeh who is one of the people involved in the conference reacted Mrs. Kar’s speech and considered her opposition towards the lack of women’s presence at the universal house of justice due to non-historical conclusion and her false understanding of the realities of the Baha’i community. He also considered this phenomenon as a fundamental change in the community nature which benefits women society and all human beings pointing out the importance of women in the Baha’i community and their active presence in the administrative organization in various level of national and local levels and giving priority to women’s education. Mrs. Kar declared responding Kavian’s opposition:

     “What caused me entered the discussion wasn’t negating other Baha’i women’s achievements. However, if you offer thousands of reasons, you won’t answered this question. Even you say I don’t know and I should think about it, you have served your faith more rather than you insist that the universal house of justice foundation isn’t important at all. I posed a question based on Tahireh’s character to empower my question. Tahireh isn’t a heroin. She has announced Bab’s over hangs regarding this issue. Why aren’t the answer proportionate with the question? Women’s membership is a right. Nevertheless, don’t forget that it is advisable for each school to be up-to-date.”

     She addressed Kavian: “You have problem with this question like all the faithful: why have women like Tahireh who shines like a star in her background sexually deprived of being a member of the universal house of justice in the Baha’i faith? Why have open-minded men like you justify it?

     Kavian answered:

     “Your statement is a personal attack. I don’t have any problem with your question. The Baha’is who were present there clapped for you; but you wrote in your article that the meeting was disturbed and there was a riot there. It isn’t true. There was a debate there for half an hour and everybody, Baha’i Muslim specialist and etc. expressed their ideas. The reality that the Baha’i community is criticizable isn’t concordance with the above-mentioned conclusion.”

     Now, it should be asked: Has the Baha’ism faith answered the equality of men and women? Is it equality to consider one of the main principles of a belief as the equality between men and women?!!!
