The leaders of the Baha’ism cult have always prayed for the world tyrants and warmongers contrary to the divine religions method and their peaceable slogans. Consequently, Abdul Baha expressed in one of his speeches on Nov, 1921 A.D. in Cincinnati, Ohio: “America is a noble nation and is the bearer of peace in the world. It illuminates the horizons. No nation resembles America concerning freedom, prudence and goodwill. Other nations can’t establish general peace; but America is behaving all the world peaceably and is merited to elevate brotherhood flag and international peace[1].”
The second leader of Baha’ism has also promised: “However, it is certain that the American government and nation don’t think about Colonialism and also don’t think of expanding their land and country and of attacking other nations and lands[2].”
Nevertheless; undoubtedly, these statements have been said to deceive the American people and to intrigue sense of patriotism or to indicate Abdul Baha’s deep ignorance of his then issues and not having “divine science”. It is interesting to be known that in 1921 A.D. when Abdul Baha said these statements, America dealt with one of the most Cruel wars against its neighbor in the south America; but country to Abdul Baha’s claim, these wars happened not because of peace; but to plunder nations wealth. As one of the American generals called Smedley Butler describes these war as follows:
“I have speat 33 years and 4 months in the military activities. During this period of time, I have play a role as a high-ranking guard for the great commercial institutions, Wall Street and banks. I help Mexico and Tompico to be safe places in 1914 A.D. for the American oil interests. I helped Haiti and Cuba to be suitable places for profitability of city bank. I helped six central American countries to be invaded for providing Wall street interests. I helped Nicaragua to be in service of the international bank of Brown brothers in 1902-1912 I made the importance of Dominican republic clear for the profits of the American sugar industry. In 1903 A.D., I made Honduras a suitable place for the American fruit companies. In 1927 A.D., I helped the standard oil company to be active in China conveniently[3].”
On the other side, Abdul Baha’s prediction concerning not attacking to other countries by America was so exact that changed America into one of the most violent and warlike countries; so that it played a role in hundreds of wars, conflicts and coups across the world directly or indirectly, yes, from occupying Haiti (1915-1934 A.D.) and Dominican Republic(1916-1924 A.D) to World War I (1917-1918 A.D.) and from World War II (1941-1945 A.D.) to Vietnam, Bolovia, Korea, Afghanistan and Iraq was and… all indicate the lack of Abdul Baha’s prediction furtherance!
Nevertheless, how can the agent and factor of wars and conflicts which ended in millions of people across the world to be killed be the forerunner of peace in the world according to Abdul Baha’s prediction[4]?! How can a country which proceeds creating war and violence has been described in Abdul Baha’s word as: “It is peaceful with all the world and merited to elevate the flag of peace and brotherhood in the world.[5]”
Yes, we can observe the great symbols of peace and reconciliation of America with all the world in World War II in Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities! All the world can observe how noble America bestowed its atomic bombs to women and kids of Hiroshima and Nagassaki as the message of peace and friendship and massacred hundreds of thousands of women, men, kids and infants in a moment.
