“This piece of land was nothing but jungle, a bare land. Why did it become cultivated… the human wisdom… Before Columbus came, America was a nature world. Now it becomes the human world…[1]”
Attributing the American Inians as ignorant and comparing them with African people, Abdul Baha has considered them as animals educated and grown by Anglo-Saxons: “If a baby has been left uneducated, he/she will be surely remain ignorant like animal. Observe the Africans, they resemble animals; but they are inferior to animals. Observe the divine education (:European) in the human world (“America), the nature world is the animal one.[2]”
It is concluded from Abdul Baha’s statements that because the American Inians haven’t been educated based on his willing, they have been considered inferior to animals and the Europeans have been assumed as transfers of wisdom and humanity to America! Without pointing out the massacre of the red-skinned, Abdul Baha has considered the immigrant Europeans as the preachers of the divine education which have changed the animal world into human one! Anyway, how is it possible for the innovation of the slogan of the oneness of human world and human equality is acceptable by the Baha’i?!
