May we be amongst those who are to bring about the transfiguration of the Earth - Zoroastrian prayer
Dear Friends
by Mehman on Sun Sep 05, 2010 12:21 PM PDTWill you stop fighting each other?
Aren't we all iranians belonging to the same heritage? Different religions and sects should not create so much divisions and hatred among us...
One is Shia another Sunni, one is Bahai one is Babi, another is Christian the other Jew or Zoroastrian and many are agnostics who do not follow any religion in practice even though they are born in certain traditions (which is beyond their control) but we are all iranians after all aren't we?
You can not change another's religion however bad you think the religion is. People simply want to stick to what they believe in. So what is the use of all these insulting and slanderings? I which we could express more understanding and respect towards each other instead of hatred.
thank you

Dear Immortal...
by faryarm on Sat Sep 04, 2010 09:24 PM PDTPlease you must be more open.
I assure you no Bahai will think of you as an enemy; The Bahais in iran have proven their peaceful nature, even in the face of death.
Unfortunately, you response does not surprise one; what you allege simply does not make sense, and is more consistent with the customary anti bahai rhetoric. Those who accuse Bahais, have never been able to produce the evidence, be it a hundred years ago or today.
You speak of an "agenda"; if there is one, it is simply to correct and inform with logic, fact and reason the kind of baseless lies and distrtortons that have poisoned the mind of generations of Iranians,of which it seems includes you and your "ancestors".
You say :"I am not trying to make you abandon your beliefs which you have grown up with. All I am saying is that you should abandon your higher moral ground. And please give up also this victim syndrome even though it may serve to reinforce solidarity amongst the Baha'is. "
Well, Can I ask you,with regard to your perception of "higher moral ground"
Instead of accusing one of standing on a higher moral ground, could the opposite be true? and explain the reason why you feel that way? assuring you that yours truly's only intention is to defend against falsehood.
If What you refer to as "victim syndrome", is because of giving example of persecution, then you must question you own sense of fairness and justice and the honesty to declare your real motives behind your negative comments.
Further,
I can "accept the fact that some people do have the right to question and to disagree with Baha'is." as long as the basis for such opinion is not based on false and historically malicious lies designed to injure the reputation of the Bahais and their beliefs.
Fortunately, these days after years of deafening silence, the Truth is revealing itself, in the form of memoirs and books of former movers and shakers of the last 100 years,as in Fariba Amini's current piece called The Greatest Sin, which includes accounts of back room discussions and dealings, desgned to persecute and destroy the Bahais in Iran.
I certainly hope that your "ancestors" would have the same courage to do the same and throw some light on those "behind-the-scenes" allegations, rest assured that they should be solely concerned with the validity of their allegation in the face of public scrutiny.

Dear Faryarm.......
by Immortal Guard on Sat Sep 04, 2010 10:03 AM PDTDo you want my family tree?
There were equally smart and well-educated people in the past who rejected Baha'ism because they witnessed firsthand who their leaders were, where they came from, how they rose to prominence, who granted them a higher profile etc. Now I know that you will come again and ask me for written, solid proof that can be referenced!
I asked my ancestors to write down about the behind-the-scenes story of the Baha'is but they refused! They said you will make enemies! I now can kind of understand what they meant with that when I see people like you pushing your agenda so hard!
Anyway I am not trying to make you abandon your beliefs which you have grown up with. All I am saying is that you should abandon your higher moral ground. And please give up also this victim syndrome even though it may serve to reinforce solidarity amongst the Baha'is. And also examine if any unfair advantages accrue to Baha'is abroad just for the sake of being Baha'is and having their leaders serve as other people's lackeys! ... And also if you are magnanimous and even equanimous as you claim accept the fact that some people do have the right to question and to disagree with Baha'is.

Immortal Guard, very well said!
by Aryana-Vaeja on Sat Sep 04, 2010 12:26 AM PDTThanks for expressing your views. Shoma kamelan dozaritoon oftade! I also know the stories about active Bahai attempts to recruit people of prominence during the time of Reza Shah. One of the reasons Reza Shah apparently closed down their Tarbiyat school was precisely for this very reason because there were many children of the elite of Iranian society at the time attending it - due to the fact that it was one of only a handful of schools offering good education - and the Bahai teachers there were then taking the opportunity at sectarian indoctrination and brainwashing of these same children.
As for being nice: note how incredibly nasty and hateful these Haifan Baha'is can become when they are challenged or criticized. The same triumphalistic and arrogant mentality you have amongst the mullahs and Islamists is the same attitude these Haifan Baha'is exhibit, and in my considered opinion the Haifan Baha'is are longterm just as dangerous as these same Islamists and mullahs.
That said, I stand by all by statements that the human rights abuses the Haifan Baha'is are claiming in Iran are exagerrated; that the Haifan Baha'i organization is being completely opportunistic with such campaigns using them primarily as opportunities to proseltyze their creed; and, especially, that they are deliberately attempting to overshadow with such claims the plight of other minority communities who are actually being abused by the regime and need campaigns on their behalf much more than the Haifan Baha'is do; that the only reason why the Haifan Baha'is get such coverage is because they have deep financial pockets and are in cahoots with certain Washington, London and Brussels based lobby organizations that have handed them a microphone and soap-box to play the international human rights-abused drama queen!

Dear Immortal...name these bribed spineless people
by faryarm on Fri Sep 03, 2010 11:02 PM PDTDear Immortal Guard,
Amazing !
Please explain how someone can truly believe anything through marketing and merchandising .
and how you think the Bahai community would benefit from "bribing" to have such members.
Do you think any amount of money can buy devotion and conviction to an idea? enough for one to resist jail and torture and die for an idea?
Please think through what you are saying, because we have actual mothers, fathers and grandfathers who in your opinion have been bought, through "merchandising and marketing"
you also said:
"I know first hand that during Reza Shah's time they actively tried to recruit well-educated people like members of parliament and successful businessmen and progressive-thinking people by offering them generous bribes coming from AkKa! The spineless and rootless people were easily swayed and fell for the windfall!"
Since this is first hand information, kindly provide some proof and evidence...Other wise your accusations, sound terribly like the kind of accusations brought upon Bahais by the Mullahs to discredit them.
I am sure you dont mind outing these spineless rootless people !
Go back to some of my old wishes for you...
by faryarm on Fri Sep 03, 2010 10:42 PM PDTGo back to some of my old wishes for you and see that, my words were meant as reminders to what destiny had in store for people like yourself...and not any kind of deathwish.
The truth is and you should own up to it,( as shown in your letter)
that your animosity started becaue of a disagreement with your local Bahai administration and not your rejection of Baha'u'llah or Bahai belief.
The road you chose , as described in that open letter in 1990s
//iranian.com/main/blog/faryarm/sincere-open-...
by your old friend pretty much describes what you have become today and my comment is an extension of what in my mind undoubtedly awaits anyone who like you continues so blindly and arrogantly to insult and harm the name of Baha'u'llah, not to mention those Bahais languishing in Islamic Republic prisons, that you like, people to believe are treated favourably as in your statement below.
"the Baha'is have also gone out of their way to fabricate or exagerrate human rights violations in Iran with Western human rights groups in order to maintain some bloated sense of relevence..."
"it appears that the rulers of the Islamic Republic of Iran have actually gone out of their way to accomodate the Baha'is inside Iran. Baha'is have been left relatively unmolested ...."
Marketing in the spiritual bazaar!
by Immortal Guard on Fri Sep 03, 2010 10:08 PM PDTThe Baha'is are very good when it comes to merchandizing and marketing their ideas! And they are quite active in that spiritual bazaar! So no doubt some easily impressionable people would fall for their nice words!
I know first hand that during Reza Shah's time they actively tried to recruit well-educated people like members of parliament and successful businessmen and progressive-thinking people by offering them generous bribes coming from AkKa! The spineless and rootless people were easily swayed and fell for the windfall!
I personally have come across many Bahai's and found them actually very likable. But after all in today's world nicety can be acted out. I am not against the Baha'i people at all! I can also understand the predicament of people who have held fast to their belief for a long time if they are asked to abandon it even if they are hypothetically presented with irrefutable evidence!

I just hope God will allow you to stay around to witness your own utter
failure and disgrace; just as your name sake AZAL experienced, dying an
old lonely man in exile, left with you as an example of his legacy.
LOL! We shall see because I am still standing; that, for everything you fascists have tried to do to me. But if it's all the same to you, this blood curdling hateful sentiment of yours above, which is found aplenty throughout the Bahai writings, is precisely why you people should never be allowed to come anywhere close to power and why more people need to be informed the world over of what manner of hateful and hatefilled scumbags you all are just like the mullahs. That said, however I die one day, which is inevitable, I hope you don't die in exile as a lonely old man in disgrace. I hope you die with a smile on your face in peace with your family and loved ones around you making your journey to the Road of Awe, which is death, all that more pleasant for you. And I hope that at the moment that you are about to cross over, that your eyes will finally open to how wrong you have been about absolutely everything!

What you see below are eloquent letters written in Persian by Iranians in Iran whose spiritual journey has led them to new hope and belief in humanity and its future, in a country where most people have lost faith.
Some are testaments of love by those who despite living in that suffocating repressive environment have found solace and hope, craving for deeper understanding underlying the native faith that is denied to them in Iran, the country of its birth.
دوستان دارم
دوستان دارم و به شما عشق می ورزم امید وارم روزی برسد تا تمام آئین ها در سرزمین کهن ما آزادانه بتوانند تبلیغ کنند و توانایی های دینی خود را برای مردم اثبات کنند با تشکر فراوان
دنياي جديد
من هم 3 سال هست كه به حضرت بها الله ايمان اورده ام . مي خواستم بگم كه من اسمان جديد و زمين جديدي ديده ام و تا جان در بدن دارم اين زمين و اسمان را به بقيه نشان خواهم داد.
در آیین بهایی مطالب بسیار متنوع و نوینی مطرح شده که هر انسان جستجوگر و طالب یادگیری را به خود جلب مینماید و جا برای مطالعه و بررسی روی هر کدام بسیار بسیار است. به قول ادوین تافلرامروز بیسواد کسی است كه خود را آماده آموختن مطالب جدید نمی کند وبه نظر من اثار بهایی منبع قابل توجهی از دیدگاهها برای انسان امروزی مهیا میکند.
مثلا نکته بسیار قابل توجهی که به نظر بنده به عنوان یک پژوهشگر یا طالب آموختن در آیین بهایی مطرح گردیده الهیات نوین بهایی است.این طور که بنده مطالعه کردم وازاین مطالعه فهمیدم این الهیات برپایه و اساسی استوار است تحت عنوان استمرار ظهورات الهیه. یعنی اعتقاد به ابدی بودن فیض و وحی الهی اساس جهان بینی توحیدی این آیین را تشکیل میدهد.مطابق این نگاه هیچ دینی به معنای مطلق کامل نیست و کمال ادیان بالنسبه به زمان و مکان میباشد. به نظر بنده این تعلیم یا نگاه مذهبی میتواند راه حلی برای منازعات و مخاصمات و برتری جوییهای مذهبی در عصر حاضر باشد.عصری که در
گیریهای داخلی بین مذاهب از یکسو و بدبینی و سوتفاهم جهان امروز نسبت به مذاهب موجود از سوی دیگر سبب فاصله گرفتن دین از حیات فردی و اجتماعی انسانها گردیده.
به نظر بنده انحصارطلبی دینی و یا اینکه حقیقت مطلق تا ابد در نزد مرامی خاص باشد با حقیقت وجودی انسان و اجتماعات انسانی که ناگزیر از تغییر و تبدیل و حرکت و تکامل هستند مطابقت ندارد و در طول تاریخ زیانهای بسیاری به بار آورده است تا اینکه این موضوع را به عنوان آموزه و تعلیمی دینی در آثار و نوشتجات این آیین دیدم.البته این موضوع با مثالهای زیاد و متنوعی در آثار بهایی مطرح گردیده که به تفهیم موضوع بسیار کمک میکنند. مثلا مواردی را که بنده مطالعه نموده ام تشبیه پیامبران یا فرستادگان الهی است به آینه و پزشک.یعنی آینه های متعدد منعکس کننده یک نور واحد هستند
ولی شدت و زاویه تابش این نور بالنسبه به شرایط و ظرفیت ما متفاوت میشود و یا در مثال پزشک میبینیم که هدف پزشک شناخت و درمان بیماری انسان است و چه بسا که برای درمان بیماری خاصی نسخه قبلی خود را نسخ مینماید و نسخه ای متناسب با بیماری جدید تجویز میکند وهیچ یک از ما به خاطر این مسئله پزشک را مورد مواخذه قرار نمیدهیم.در این رابطه در آثار آیین بهایی خواندم که:
(رگ جهان در دست پزشک داناست درد را میبیند و به دانایی درمان میکند.درد امروز را درمانی و فردا را درمانی دیگرامروز را نگران باشید و سخن از امروز رانید………) در هر صورت این موضوع از موضوعات مورد توجه بنده در مطالعاتم بوده که دوست داشتم با شما و سایر دوستان در میان بگذارم.
در ضمن جسارتا پیشنهاد میکنم که در صورت تمایل بخشی را در سایتتان اختصاص دهید به انعکاس این مطالب تا دوستانی که نظرات ویا بررسیها و مطالعاتی روی جنبه های مختلف آیین بهایی یا به طور کلی دیانت در دنیای امروز داشته و دارند با طرح آنها زمینه مناسبتری برای کسب بینش و آگاهی و آموختن برای هر طالبی فراهم آید.

his/her life , who is making a real contribution for betterment of
himself ,his family, his neighborhood, country and ultimately humanity?
Yes, and here the Agha Khan and the Isma'ili community have you Haifan Baha'is beat. They build hospitals in the Third World, establish research foundations in India and the UK, help out developing countries with private foundation grants and expertise, and generally stand with the the oppressed and downtrodden in places like Uganda where you stand with the oppressors, etc. For a small community of alternative Shi'a Muslims, they have done more in one year than your organization has done throughout its entire existence. And unlike you they don't need to prosletyze and push for converts and recruits. They walk their talk.
The "Nice spiritual bazaar out there" That you speak of can not sustain itself or the true seeker hungry for infinite love and the spiritual sustenance it provides.
Which is another way of saying, "our way is the only way and everybody else is misled and unspiritual." Sound famliar, folks? Don't the mullahs and fundamentalists say the same thing?
A good Tree can not bear bad fruit.
True, but in your use of these cliches, it seems to have eluded you that your own prophet apparently produced bad fruit in the form of several of his sons, i.e. Muhammad Ali, Badiullah, Ziyaullah, etc. If your prophet was a good Tree, then how come his fruit went rotten, as you claim about Muhammad Ali, Badiullah, Ziyaullah, etc.?
The Question to ask is:
In the last 150 years, as just one example, has belief in The
Bahai Faith, its teachings and practices produced mostly the good or the
bad , throughout the world?
Bad. Here is the evidence:
//bahaicultfaq.blogspot.com/
Has it just been "talk" and "Nice" words?
Yes.
Today, How are Bahais generally viewed in the countries they reside?
The truth? As one amongst many other similar kooky cults.
Why have so many wanting to join the Bahai community in Iran, when an
Iranian Bahai has basically no rights and can be a potential death
sentence!
This is wishful thinking Baha'is like repeating like Hitler's big lie. There is no overwhelming trend by Iranians inside Iran to join Bahaism. The trend is two ways: 1) most Iranians are either going agnostic/atheist, or if they wish to convert to any religion beside Islam, it is 2) Zoroastrianism. The biggest single threat to the Islamic establishment in Iran today comes from Zoroastrianism and the near clamoring of countless individuals to join it, not Bahaism.
Surely what impresses most people, literate, illiterate, the
intellectual, the sophisticated or not, is character, integrity, good
deeds, actions not words.
Which by your own fanatical behavior and actions you have demonstrated time and again that you don't have much of.
So What matters in the end is the fruit of one's belief.
Indeed. And the fruits of your beliefs has shown your tree to be rotten, root and branch!

Talk is cheap, and as you say "They (Ismailis) also preach nice things which appeal to the educated intelligentsia and progressive-thinking people...."
What matters in the long run is who is making a REAL difference in his/her life , who is making a real contribution for betterment of himself ,his family, his neighborhood, country and ultimately humanity?
It is not enough to just have intellectual acceptance that appeals to " educated intelligentsia and progressive-thinking people".
The mind is not where love resides !
The Place for God , LOVE and religion's is the heart, not the mind. One must fall in love in order to believe and act on principle and faith.
Elm and Erfan MUST go together.

Today, How are Bahais generally viewed in the countries they reside?
In our own country, Iran despite the horrid history of persecutions by the shia clergy, the lies, distortions, the one sided anti Bahai propaganda that has poisoned the mind of generations to believe so many untruths; Today how are the Bahais being seen by their very friends, colleagues and neighbours?
Could it be that, their peaceful and quite suffering has done something to transform the hearts of their former enemies? Is this not the best example of actions speaking louder tan words?
I have seen on certain Persian blogs ,comments by people who want to know more about what Bahai is, as a result of the relentless attacks on Bahais in Iran these days. Many of these comments come from people who have decided that despite the dangers, their attraction to it is irresistible and they demand answers.

I also hereby proclaim here an all out Holy War (jihad) against the un-Islamic military theocratic juntaoccupying Iran and the entire foundations of its corrupt, inhumane and
criminal system, including its criminal terrorist associates and
networks throughout the globe.
