Will do

Thanks.

Dear friend

I I understand the situation. But you can give my telephone and address to them. If they want, they can contact.  Amir

Dear friend, sorry

But I will not be giving out people's telephone numbers and contact details on a public forum like Iranian.Com, especially since I do not have their permission to do so. Sorry about that.

The 20,000 Babis killed was in the 1840s. The reason why many Bayanis continue the policy of taqiyya or kitman is because many of these people have Muslim families or otherwise have not been known in any wider capacity as anything else but Muslims. If their true religious convictions where now to be publicly disclosed, even if they live in the US or anywhere else in the West, it could potentially have adverse repercussions for these people or their families, especially since the Islamic republic is still technically in existence. But note that this policy of taqiyya became especially widespread amongst Bayanis with the passing of Subh-i-Azal in April 1912. His own son Rizvan-'Ali even implimented it in Cyprus by giving an outward, zahiri profession of conversion to Eastern Orthodox Christianity and renaming himself Constantine the Persian.

Dear friend

The twenty or thirty thousand Babies have been killed in Iran. But in USA they should have no fear any more?  I wish to get some contacts with Babies or Bayanis.  One day all of us should be united for building a better world for us and our children. Amir  If you write their telephone, so I can contact them, my telephone is 4072758815 in Orlando, Florida.

Bayanis

Yes, there are a few Bayani families I know about in the USA. There are many, many more who I don't know about, and this has to do with your second question. In fact there is a regular posting here on Iranian.com who wrote me earlier in the year, while swearing me to secrecy about their identity, saying they were a Bayani living in the New England region. Another had read my earlier posts about the Bayanis, but does not post, and said they and their whole family are Bayanis living in southern California.

Yes, many Bayanis dissimulate, doing taqiyya, outwardly keeping appearances as moderate or even traditionally pious Muslims while privately practicing the Bayan. The historical reason for this has to do with the fact that in Iran the Bayani community (and specifically its leadership) became the focus of intense persecution by the ultra-conservative Shi'ite Muslim establishment as well as to some degree by the Baha'i political machinery, i.e. its administration (although before the Revolution we also had examples of many mixed Bayani-Baha'i families as well). Add to that the fact that many prominent Bayanis fought in the Constitutional Revolution on the side of the parliament and the people, and, besides the religious reasons, the practice of taqiyya by Bayanis begins to make more sense. While under the Pahlavis, especially during the latter years, many Bayanis did also drop this practice, under the Islamic republic it has become a vital strategy of physical survival.

Hopefully when the mullahs are gone, insha'Llah someday soon, some of the present and younger generation Bayanis will also see it expedient to drop taqiyya and self-representation as Muslims for good! 

Dear friend

Is there any Babies in USA?  Do you have any contacts? My mother told me, the Babies  call themselves Moslems? Thanks again. Amir

I'd love to help you

...but I live way on the other side of the world, in Australia. You have my prayers for your success!

Thank you

Your family sound like wonderful, wonderful people! Tell me more about your grandfather, if you're ok to reminisce.

Yes, the Babis, or Bayanis as they know themselves, believe in the things you say. In fact much of what the Baha'is claim as their own teachings were actually first promulgated by Hazrate A'la (ruhi ma siwa fada'hu) in his works.

As for the mosque you mentioned: I know the place you speak of :)

Love, unity, cooperation and peace are great, lofty principles to aspire to. But as I am getting older, I am also getting more pessimistic by the day about human nature and whether the entirety of the human race is really capable of reaching the shores of such mass maturity in consciousness. Here and there with handfuls of people, maybe. But not the masses everywhere. And I do worry about those in power who use euphemisms such as unity and global cooperation but whose underlying agendas are not so good. I believe in justice and that it must go hand in hand with peace such that there cannot be true peace without justice! Hazrate A'la also teaches this in the Bayan.

Lovely to hear about your family, again. My takbirs to them wherever they might be, and to yourself as well :)

Dear friend

Hi  I was little boy, that my mother took me to a place, I think it was something like mosque. And she said that people who wear withe dress , they are Babi. I think the body of Hazrate Ala was there for a while. My father was a Moslem, but he loved Babis. In my life I did not see a Babi. I heard that they love the Unity of mankind and they believe that all religions are the same. Peace and unity. I am a college teacher in Orlando, Florida and in my life I wanted to see a Babi.  My grand father was a Babi and he speak about Babi a lot. I believe in Love and Unity Peace and cooperation between the whole world. Amir 

Yes, but...
