From the Mother Tongue

A short film for 8989 project by iraneda.net where Siamak Fallah uses sour orange trees – a symbol of religious oppression of Bahais – from his birthplace Iran, combined with water, ochre and paper, to illustrate his dream… a dream he has not dreamt yet. The trees were originally from a sacred Bahai site, before they were uprooted and dragged through the streets:

I truly enjoyed the film and liked the idea behind of it: The illustration of his dream.

Wish him the best in reaching to his dream.

Nothing is sacred the Mother Tongue

"nothing is sacred "in Iranian.com so "The trees were originally from a sacred Bahai site " does not make sense here, I guess!

Universal Religion!???

If their religion is so universal then how come their "Mahfel" is such a reclusive club?

And how come the Iranian Bahai's on average are more religious than Iranian Muslims?

Bahai's are crazy

It's a crazy religion that makes as much sense as all other religions. We're all better off without any of them.
