Bahaismiran:

One of the teachings posed by the Baha’ism as a new principle is that religion must cause friendship and affection; as Abdul Baha considered irreligion better than enmity: “The third teaching of Bahaullah is that religion must cause friendship, communication of human being and God’s mercy. If religion causes enmity and war; so irreligion is better.[1]

However, the note which is being mentioned in investigating the principle of friendship and kindness is the Baha’ism’s defective view towards the teleology of religion and expecting religion by human being. Is it the religion aim to teach all human being to be kind and to prevent them from enmity?! If the extremity of Baha’ism expectation from religion is to from difference and enmity among leaders and to separate brothers from each other for incumbency of leadership of the cult, the cause of making this cult will be under the question.[2]

Regardless of this contradiction and Baha’ism confess on sharing the principle of friendship and affection among the divine religions[3], this cult has established its logic on this issue that religion must cause friendship and kindness and irreligion will be better if religion causes enmity. However, in monotheistic and divine religions logic, establishing justice and friendship among human beings is merely one of the aims of the divine prophets (peace be upon them) and the heavenly religious laws. Indeed, the main slogan of all divine prophets (peace be upon them) has been inviting people to worship God and avoiding the evils. For this reason, the prophets (peace be upon them) have invited the faithful to their paths alongside with inviting them to peace, friendship and kindness and have also invited them to rise against Colonialism, exploitation, evil and each sort of tyranical movement:

 

"اُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ" (حج/ 39)

“Permission to fight is issued for those Believers who were wronged and Oppressed by the disbelievers and Certainly Allah is powerful to aid The Oppressed believers.” [Al-Hajj/ 39]

 

Consequently, religion causes both friendship and kindness (with the truth seeking) and enmity (with evildoers, tyrants and assumings); but the mentioned principle in Baha’ism considers a religion as the one which causes just friendship otherwise the religion which causes enmity is better not be existent.[4]

Here, the Colonial nature of this forged and made cult becomes clear and like other principle of Baha’ism, this principle ends in the intellectual disarmament of nations against the assumings. As a matter of fact, Abbas Effendi has said: “If a tyrannt tyranizes you and attack you like a wolf, the divine disciples must be surrendered like sheep and mustn’t resist; but they must counteracted sword with nectar and milk. They must kiss the killer’s hand.[5]
