Although Baha’is pretend to be oppressed these days and consider the claim for killing Babism during Qajar dynasty as a document for being oppressed, the existent documents form that period of time reveal a fact. After quitting Islam and claiming for bringing a new religion, the Babism leader issued an order for the massacre of his opponents. As Abdul Baha has said: “The following cases are of the Bayan commandments: beheading all people on the earth, burning all nooks and papers (:burning all books and writings) conquering the east and west and destroying tombs[1].
On the other side, the self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism has clearly confessed the Babis ferocious manners and behaviors[2].
Nevertheless, Abdul Baha has said: “If religion causes killing and savagery, it will be better for it not to be existent.[3]”
