The Baha’is performed remarkable functions confronting the Virus as the organizational members having determined frameworks and guidelines. When the quarantine wasn’t considered so serious and a correct view towards coping with the virus was been formed, the Baha’ism tried to misuse the crisis to attract people’s attention like the function of its ancestors during history. Without understanding the concept of virus, they narrated their leaders’ statements regarding visiting sick people or introduced the Baha’i physician to answer to Corona virus questions using the Baha’ism sites and networks.
They spoke about today man’s helplessness and the final saving by Baha’ism as savior. They said Corona virus is a disaster from the founder of the cult for those who don’t accept Baha’ism –the non Baha’is!
They hoarded up mask, anti-septic contrary their slogan of philanthropy. So, they led the anxious people to disease and death. According to news, several Baha’i bands were arrested hoarding people’s medical requirements.
On Farwardin, 23,1399, the Baha’is issued a statement: “During the recent weeks, the Iranian government has freed some theological prisoners in the country due to the danger of Corona Virus. Several Baha’is who had been imprisoned due to their religious beliefs were included. However, other Baha’is are still in the prison.” The statement continues to say: the representative of the Baha’i worldwide community Bani Dugal has requested in the United Nations for the rest of the Baha’i prisoners to be freed!
It should be asked: Have all non-Baha’i or even Muslim prisoner freed? Why does the Baha’ism shamelessly expect the Baha’i prisoners to be behaved differently?! Baha’ism always expects to be supported even among the oppositions.
Except for creating horror and the human right misuses, the most important aspect the Baha’ism organization is seeking and following is proselytizing and communicating with people. The Baha’ism existence –as confessed by them- is related and attached with proselytizing and having constant relationships with others. Not only this relationships is essential for recruiting new members; but also it is important for reaming Baha’is themselves in the organization.
“Regarding the current conditions which has caused wonderful changes in all aspects of our life… we know that the spiritual existence of every one of us is related to be attached with the divine faith sea and the Baha’i community. For this reason we must be plunged in this sea like a fish. Based on this requirement, we must be attached with this boundless sea… .” ( One of the programs published in the Baha’i sites for the organizational receptions)
So, the central core of the cult has issued messages regarding holding gatherings and meetings anxiously.
After messages, they increased the presence at the cyberspace extensively and advanced receptions in the cyberspace.
Anyway, the Baha’i heads sent various messages continually to subclasses of the organization addressing the public and the national assemblies. The main center of Baha’ism has addressed the Baha’is after 11 years on Norouz 1399 S.H. and posed several notes stressing on the increase in Baha’i community capacity: “The followers of the divine faith [Baha’ism] have strengthened the friendship bonds of the spiritual awareness and some features like tranquility and trusting on God among them and relatives. The meaningful dialogues posed including close or far ones have been the sources of tranquility and inspiration. “(The message of the main center of Baha’ism addressing the Baha’is of the world, the new year, 1399, S.H.)
Now, it should be noticed that how the crisis is influential for the Baha’i community to achieve its goals.
Concentrating on the group meetings called prayer gathering has been paid attention by the Baha’i proselytizers; particularly, prayer and unbosoming with a great and superhuman power are fundamental behavior in human beings. Baha’ism has misused it as a method for proselytizing.
Ivone Marlen Scărlătescu, one of the members of the national Baha’i assembly of Romania says:” the natural tendency of spirit to prayer and turning to the Creator at the time of happiness or hardship have been forgotten in the business of the daily life. However, people have figured out the importance of prayer once again during this crisis.”
The Baha’is of Romania have held on line prayer sessions for all interested people… as people gather together every day for prayer and some bridges for deeper dialogues are being built… .
Rita Lina, one of the members of the Baha’is foreign affairs office in Indonesia says:” When some gather together to pray… they feel united more.”… The power of group prayer can make strangers friends and disciples.
The investigation of the previous messages by the organization has revealed the non-spiritual and proselytizing aims of the Baha’is; although some of these activities seem to be philanthropic; but all of them invite people to be attracted to the Baha’i thought.
