Bahaismiran:

The book “the military Baha’ism in the second Pahlavi government” has been written by Mr. Shadab Askari which shows the paradox inside the organization of the cult. Baha’is claim that meddling with policy is forbidden; additionally, they are always confirming that it is prohibited for the members of the organization to carry weapon. The Baha’is proselytizers are always trying to hide the aggressive identity of the cult. Consequently, if we don’t investigate and study history exactly, it will be distorted and misused.

     The author of the book has tried to remove all ambiguities of the reasons behind the Baha’is presence in the king’s army. His aim is to explain a part of the Iranian country and to answer to the argument about Baha’is interests in being present in Pahlavi army.

     The above-mentioned book is a research about the reason for extensive ovation of entering into the kingdom army by Baha’is.

     Studing the book, we will figure out the position of being military in the Baha’i teachings and the Baha’is aims for being in top of affairs in the conditions that entering into policy had been announced as illegitimate based on the Baha’is belief.

     The other issue which was explained in the book was the investigation of the order of the central center of organization for the difference in Baha’is presence in the military domain openly and covertly. The influence of these organizational people on the national Iranian security and similarity between Baha’is and the Pahlavi government have been mentioned and discussed in the book.

     The first chapter of the book is about the appearance and genesis of Baha’ism, the interior structure of Baha’ism and the universal house of justice and the Baha’is prohibition for entering into the political domain.

     The second chapter discusses about the nature of the Pahlavi government and the Baha’is reasons for being present in the kingdom army.

     The third chapter is about the effective presence of Baha’is in kingdom army.

     Generally speaking, this book can be considered as one of the valuable sources in doing research and familiarity with the Baha’ism cult.
