Of course, now after 170 years of the claim one of the Baha’i organization networks has investigated the influence of the method of pretending to being oppressed in the Baha’i proselytizing in an article. A hostile policy which has been able to attract people’s sense of compassion towards the cult and has also been able to increase the Baha’ism haggle in international assemblies.
This article entitled “a glance at the results of capturing the Iranian companions: More growth and continuity in the Baha’i community” is published in the networks related to the Baha’i organization and has investigated the influence of applying this policy in Baha’ism. It is said in the article: “The Iranian companions were arrested 10 years ago… The Universal House of Justice considered it as a measure ignored by the people in charge and assumed the capture as a part of the divine plan. It encouraged the Iranian Baha’is to continue their tasks in prefect wisdom. After the companions and many other Baha’is were captured, the advancement of the Iranian Baha’i community isn’t consisted of attracting supports by various political, civil, religious and cultural groups to defend the Baha’i rights and increasing the newly attracted Baha’is and being more known; but according to the Universal House of Justice establishing a network in special offices nationally which are in contacts with governments and organizations of the civil community systematically is of the blessings of the Baha’is.[1]”
However, several notes are worthy to be investigated regarding the investigation of the hostile strategy of the Baha’ism organization.
1) First, it should be asked that how many Baha’is have been imprisoned in Iran that the Baha’i organization is bolding their convictions? Confessed by the Baha’i faith site (the mere official site of the Baha’ism organization in Iran), the number of Baha’is imprisoned in Iran is about 90 people.[2]
