The Baha’i leaders claim: The path for salvation of human being isn`t restricted to obeying a special religion confessing the legitimacy of all religions. (Abbas Effendi, the Blessed Sermons, p.99) .Also they call their opponents as atheists, misled, animal and roguish. (Ishraq Khawari, the heavenly food, p.335)
Now, Islam divides human beings in to two groups based on their functions and contrary to treachery of Baha`ism as: benevolent and mischief. Additionally, it considers the real religion as Islam. (The holy Quran, Al-Emran /85). Islam advises Muslims to have peaceful relationships with the followers of other religions (the holy Quran /Al - Momtaheneh /8).
To answer the question of why Baha`is consider non-Baha`is as misled, the Baha’i author claimed: "Because the highest benefit of the divine creation is the divine guidance and stepping on the path of spiritual perfection, a person who is away from the path, has been misled. Such a view towards a believer and non-believer is existent in all religion in a stricter from.[1]
However, the truth is that the Baha`ism creed has been afflicted by meaningful contradiction confronting its opponents. The following is two viewpoints of Baha`ism leaders confronting their opponents:
1) The first point of view:
Confessing the legitimacy of all religions, the Baha`ism creed leaders claim that the prosperity can`t be restricted to a special religion and all religions cause human beings to advance and to be prosperous; as Abdul Baha says:"
"فَاعلَم اِنَّ المَلَکوتُ لیسَ خاصاً بجمیعةٍ لَخُصوصَة، فَاِنَّکَ یُمکِنُ اَن تَکونَ بَهائیاً مُسلماً و بَهائیاً ماسونیاً و بَهائیاً مَسیحیاً وَ بَهائیاً یَهودیاً"
"Know that prosperity isn`t allocated with a special population or religion; so it isn`t matter whether you are Baha’i and Muslim or a Baha’i and Mason or a Baha’i or Christion or a Baha’i or Jewish.[2]"
2) The second point of view:
Contrary to the above-mentioned viewpoint, the Baha’i leaders have displayed different views concerning non_ Baha`is. As the forged prophet of Baha`ism consider wrong to call them human being in addition to calling them as the misled: " To prove manifestation, since today, everybody who call the opponents as human being, he/she will be deprived of the divine blessings.[3]" concerning avoiding the opponents, he also advises his followers: " Each person from the faith who executes sedition, fighting, arguing or soul sorrow even as tiny as a hair , he/she must be avoided by the Baha` is like avoiding viper. [4]"
It is interesting to be noted that the forged prophet of Baha`ism has called his enemies as those who were born by adultery [5] .He also intrigues his followers to encounter with his opponents. As he says:
" اَنتُم یا اَحِباءَ الله کونوا سَحابَ الفَضلِ ِلمَن آمَنَ باللهِ و آیاتِهِ و عذابَ المَحتومَ لِمَن کَفَرَ باللهِ و اَمرِه"
" O` Baha`is, be the mercy cloud for the believers of God (Bahaullah) and his signs and be the certain torture for rejecters and opponents.[6]"
Yes, as we observed, the Baha’i heads behaviors are full of hypocrisy. They don`t consider achieving reality restricted to the followers of a special religion. They also assume non-Baha`is as atheists, misled, animal and bastard who must be killed.
Nevertheless, the divine religion of Islam divides human beings in to two parts honestly:
" وَ مَن یَبتَغ غَیرَ الاِسلامِ دیناً فَلَن یُقبَل مِنهُ وَ هُوَ فِی الآخِرهِ مِنَ الخاسِرینَ".(آل عمران/85)
"And those seeketh as religion other than the surrender (to Allah) it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter. (Al-Imran/85)
Also, Muslims are being advised to have peaceful behaviors with the followers of other religions:
"لَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ"(ممتحنه/8)
"Allah forbidden you only those who warred against you on account of religion and have driven you out from your homes and helped to drive you out, that you make friends of them.
Whosoever, maketh friends of them (All) such are wrong doers.
