However, why has the American researcher indeed described him so?! As a matter of fact, what does Kackson mean by reform, reformist and ethics?!
can the severe violence by Ali Muhammad Shirazi confronting his opponents which caused him to order his opponents to be killed be named as reform and ethics! As Ali Muhammad Shirazi had ordered: “It has been proved for each authority to kill each person who doesn’t believe in the Book Bayan.[2]” or his order to the probable Babi king that says: “When the Babi king gained power, he killed everybody except Babis.[3] Additionally, the sedition fires ordered by the name of Ali Muhammad Bab spanned across Iran (from east to west and from north to center) which ended in massacres were named reform and ethics[4]?!
Yes, undoubtedly, the American researcher isn’t unaware of the consequences of the deviation, and bloodshed in Iran; but according to the policy of the American government (which is the expansion of this Colonial cult) he introduces the agent of riot and sedition in Iran as reformist and the teacher of ethics and considers its faith as the universal one.[5]
Definitely, Jackson is an American researcher who doesn’t prefer a certain reality of a deviant movement such as Baha’ism to the benefits of his country policies. This is and has been the American habit; better saying, and the Colonial countries. Can you find a researcher speak against his/her country benefits?
