     Bahaismiran:

One of the Baha’i authors narrates some matters concerning humanity from Abdul Baha. He writes Abdul Baha believed that human being is God’s face and sample and the divine perfections are the criteria for human privilege. It can be concluded that those who consider the complexion and race as the privileges, they have negated their humanities; while Baha and Abdul Baha have stated many such statements.

Nader Saeedi has narrated such statements in his book; such as:

“One of the teachings of the Excellency Bahaullah is human freedom. He/she will be freed from the natural world by the spiritual power. Since human being is a savage animal as long as he/she the nature captive[1].

“The humane world needs distension of the holy spirit. Without this spirit, the humane world is dead and without this light, the humane world is quite dark because the nature world is the animal one: The divine teachings change this animal into human being[2].”

Then he writes: “In his lectures, Abdul Baha are investigating and reinterpret the deep concept of the Old Testament that according to it, God creates human being in the form and sample of Himself… This concept clarifies the real identity of human being. Does being human being mean negative racism or defending it? The answer to this question is easy. Human being is the form and sample of God… Discrimination among human being is based on his/her complexion means attacking God and human being and; of course, it negates the concept of human. A racist deviate nature rank and the complexion; consequently, he/she negates the humanity of other human beings and that of his/her, too.[3]

Now, this is time to investigate the criterion for being human and humanity from the Baha’i leaders’ views:

Abdul Baha has liked the black Africans as cows: “For instance, what is the difference between the black Africans and the American ones?! The black Africans are God’s creatures in human being’s faces. The black Americans are civilized, intelligent, cultured…[4]

He has also insulted Turkish people addressing Jamal Pasha: “When Jamal Pasha arrived at Akka, he wanted to meet me. I went to his house. I rode a donkey to go to his house. When he saw me, he welcomed me and made me sit next to him and said: You belong to seditious people. That’s why the Iranian government has exiled you here… I thought he is a Turk and a ridiculous answer must be given to him.[5]

Hussein Ali Nouri has also called those who don’t join Baha’ism as animals.[6] He is saying concerning Turks:

 

"اترک التروک و لو کان ابوک ان احبوک اکلوک و ان ابغضوک قتلوک[7]"

“Avoid Turks even if he is your father because if he loves you, he will eat you and if he considers you as enemy, he will kill you.”

 

He also assumes the people of Syria as ominous[8]
