Bahaismiran:

 The slogan used by the divine religions for the prosperity of human beings is: “The most noblest of you in God’s sight is the most God fearing one”. In the slogan, there are all features for a wise human being and acting it makes him/her to be prosperous. Has Abdul Baha used such slogan when he has advised human beings?

     To describe African people, the Baha’ism leader has liken them to wild animals. He has also posed the issue of the creation of Africans like cows which are similar to human beings; while, the Baha’i leaders have consider the teaching of the oneness of human world and the equality of human kind as the Baha’ism innovation.

     Considering the teaching of oneness of human being and the equality of human kind as the Baha’ism innovation, the Baha’i leaders claim: “The origin of the oneness of human being which is the basis for all teachings of the Excellency Bahaullah…” and “the oneness of human being world which is surely the main aim of the Excellency Bahaullah’s faith …[1]”. However, the Baha’i leaders’ views towards the creation of some human beings; including the black Africans are contrary to this so-called innovative teaching.

     As Abdul Baha has said about African people: “The African people are wild and harmful people. They are wild animals living on dry lands. They are ignorant and foolish. You can’t even find a knowledgeable and civilized one[2].” He has also said: “If human being has been left in the nature, s/he will be worse than animal, s/he will remain ignorant like the African people… The African people resemble to animals; but they are inferior to animals.[3]

     Nevertheless, the Baha’i proselytizers may justify their leader’s speech: Abdul Baha meant they must be educated and if they are educated, they won’t be like cows. To answer them, it should be said that posing the issue of African creation in the form of cows, Abdul Baha has blocked each kind of justification. As it is said: “There is no difference between the black Africans and the Americans ones. These people (:The black Africans are God’s creatures whom God created them with human faces; but the American ones are civilized and clever.[4]

     Yes, to justify his lords’ crimes and colonialism in Africa, Abdul Baha has likened the African people to cows; but he never speak about his lords’ violent and criminal behaviors!!!
