Isn’t it a clear sample of contradiction and hypocrisy in Baha’ism?!!!
The Baha’ism leaders and proselytizers explain: Our leaders have predicted the united and universal government for the future of the world; as Abdul Baha has said: “In establishing the union of the future of nations, a government which is above the governments must be gradually created which possesses establishment and organization.[1]”
Nevertheless, it should be asked: what is the role of Baha’ism and its teachings in this government?
The Baha’is answer: “The promised government will certain be the beginning of the Baha’i kingdom; as Shoqi Effendi has said: “It will ended in a 1000-year period; that is, the day when the world kingdoms will be changed into a divine one which is the Excellency Bahaullah’s kingdom.[2]”
The main question is that: Didn’t the Baha’i leaders forbid their followers from interfering or even speaking in governmental affairs?! As Abdul Baha has said: “A person who wants to mention about governmental affairs in the presence of the disciples that such and such has done this action or spoken such a word, the disciple must answer that we don’t belong to such affairs and we are the peasants of the king supported by him and we have been forbidden to interfere with policy.[3]”
However, how is it possible to consider meddling with the governmental affairs as the divine illegitimate action and to wait for the Baha’i government universally?!!!
