It is interesting to be noted that recognizing the Baha’ism organization has been announced in Bahrain while:
First, according to the religious decree by the Sunni scholars the Baha’ism cult is considered as a deviant cult and mustn’t be recognized formally. As Al-Azhar has issued a religious verdict: “Baha’ism is outside the folds of Islam and the teachings of heavenly religions. Baha’is are neither Jewish nor Christian and each Muslim who turns to and believes in it, S/he will be atheist. Surely, Baha’ism is against the religion of Islam and Islam rejects it totally… .[2]”
Second, the Baha’ism organization has been formally recognized while the Shiites of the region (75 percent) are being discriminated.[3] Yes, in one side, the Baha’ism organization is being recognized formally and; on the other side, the Shiite leader of region “Sheikh Issa Qasem’s citizenship is being taken away![4]
Eventually, it should be said that in the past the treacherous Hoveyda separated Bahrain from Iran[5] and in the present time the Baha’i proselytizers are cheating Iran and Islam. In this regard the great founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran has stated: “The Colonial proselytizers are busy working. In each corner of the Islamic lands, they are separating our youth from us. They don’t make our youth Christian or Jewish, they are making them irreligious and remiss. This will be enough for the Colonialists…[6]”
