In the 4th part, we are going to investigate the Baha’is role in 1388 sedition:
Baha’ism and 1388 sedition
It is obvious that the foreign governments have played a role in the forming and the strengthening the Baha’ism cult and its aims against Iran. This political party was founded with hideous innovations and raised by the aliens. During Pahlawi government’s periods of time, Baha’ism had been paid attention by the system of government in order for the Shiite Islamic religion to be isolated. Most Baha’is were appointed in high-ranking positions. Thus, Baha’is were trying to provide the alien’s interests. After the victory of the Islamic republic when there wasn’t any opportunity for the Baha’is to achieve their ominous goals, Baha’is tried to weaken the Islamic system of government cooperating with the colonialism and arrogance and to proselytize their creed by all means.
The tenth presidential election and its subsequent events was an arena for Baha’is to plan against the Islamic republic of Iran intrigued by the foreign assemblies. Before the mentioned election, Baha’is were participating at no election due to disinterestedness in the fate of Iran and didn’t consider themselves as Iranians. However, this time, when the Baha’i assemblies were willing to participate at election and to elect a distinct candidate, they called their followers to take part in election actively. In illegal associations held after the election, the slogans weren’t restricted to opposition with the Islamic Revolution. A group of people insulted the holy Quran; although some of the condemned who were arrested after the election claimed that the associations were peaceful and were their legal rights. After watching such insults, they withdrew their positions. Nevertheless those insults caused security systems to encounter with the new layers. Since just those who oppose the religion can insult the divine book. They had come into view and let their anti-religion beliefs come through in an arena provided by the sedition heads along with subgroups and terrorists
Additionally, the western media particularly the Persian BBC was encouraging people to take part in the street by proselytizing and the extensive support for the Baha’is. When several Baha’i participants at disorders were captured, their real evil-minded intention of the cult in fighting against the Islamic system of government was designated.
When did Baha’ism involve in the adventure?
The movement trend of the deviant cult of Baha’ism towards playing the political role in the society aiming the positive effect on the Iranian Baha’i community conditions started coincided with the 8th elections of the Islamic Council Parliament which was assigned as a social movement by the Baha’is. However, the unprecedented participation of the members of the deviant cult at 1388 sedition and playing an active role in the disorders especially the disorders of the 10th of the lunar month of Moharram (Ashoura) proved the political nature of the cult, first and second it showed that the aliens involved in forming the sedition movement and provoking it. This issue has been unprecedented during the past 100 years. According to the most recent gained and investigated information, the Baha’is enterance into the political issues and involving in sedition course in 1388 S.H. had been planned; although Baha’ism considers its survival in not participating at the political issues.
The Universal House of Justice statement and determining the strategy
On Sunday, 1388/10/13 thirteen Baha’is and two related Muslims along with eight other Baha’is were captured on a charge of participating in Ashoura disorders.
It is stated in the UHJ statement dated December, 25, 2007: “With “fixed resolve and perfect confidence”, and avoiding involvement in partisan politics, seize every opportunity to join your follow citizens in promoting ideals conductive to the prosperity of your cherished homeland…”
In the 10th period of the presidential elections and after the UHJ’s arrival at the political phase and issuing the official manifestos against the Iranian system of government, the Baha’i community asked for its participation at some candidates’ headquarters (including Mr. Mousawi and Mr. Karroubi) announcing its identity to help financially (It is assumed because of the backgrounds of the cult). They thought, the sedition movement would invalidate the system of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Of course, they, then, participated at the meeting of their candidates. They exposed their identity by carrying several placards regarding the lost rights of the minorities and the students who had been deprived of education.
Meantime, after Hussein Ali Montazeri’s comment in favor of Baha’is, supporting the citizenship rights of Baha’is by Jamileh Kadiwar and Saeed Razawi Faqih (which was done for the first time in the Islamic Republic of Iran) was also influential. After the elections, the Baha’is practically joined the sedition movement and the green one. They also participated at demonstrations dates Khordad 25, Aban 13, Azar 16 and the day of Ashoura. Sending Email for Baha’is, this group expressed they must make a decision. They slogans such as “Allah is the greatest” and “O’ Hussein, Mir Hussein are vain. They believed they must shout the slogan such as “the political prisoner and the political student must be freed”. They were informing the Baha’i people to take part in the demonstrations by sending short messages (SMS).
Additionally, they were in touch with the VOA, the American human rights centers and a human rights site relating to Monafeqin; although they were aware of the nature of the site.
Mrs. Salman Alavi Nik Gotabi has compiled a book called the Baha’ism role in 1388 sedition –the collection of confessions in 1388 sedition” in which he has explained the role of Baha’is in 1388 sedition and the confession of the Baha’is who were active in it and were communicating with Imperialism and Zionistic networks.
This is another reason that the Iranian Muslim people hate Baha’ism.
