Shoghi Effendi's bigotry

In December 1949, Shoghi Effendi sent the following cable to the Bahá'í world.

 

"Faithless brother Hussein, already abased through dishonourable conduct over period of years followed by association with Covenant-breakers in Holy Land and efforts to undermine Guardian's position, recently further demeaned himself through marriage under obscure circumstances with low-born Christian girl in Europe. This disgraceful alliance, following four successive marriages by sisters and cousins with three sons of Covenant-breaker denounced repeatedly by 'Abdu'l-Bahá as His enemy, and daughter of notorious political agitator, brands them with infamy greater than any associated with marriages contracted by old Covenant-breakers whether belonging to family of Muhammad-'Ali or Badi'u'llah." [32-16]

What I think is that shoghi was not that intelligent. It was Ruhiyyih Maxwell and her Zionist Supporters, Bosses.

The British NSA's cable is BS trying to clean poop

by Zulfiqar110 on Tue Sep 15, 2009 06:06 PM PDT

And that is what that is.

The bigot in-the-closet Baha'i guardian, Shoghi, involved the whole bahaim world in a largely family squabble where his control freakery actually backfired. He sent out the cable with the "low-born Christian girl" rant explicitly stated, and the NSA of the British Isles came to the rescue to do Shoghi's janitorial work. As simple and straight forward as that, especially since the transparent disengenuity of that cable seeps through every line.

The term 'low-born Christian girl' prompted the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the British Isles to seek further clarification from Shoghi Effendi. In answer to them he wrote through his secretary:

"Regarding his cable concerning Hussein: he has been very surprised to note that the terms 'low-born Christian girl' and 'disgraceful alliance' should arouse any question: it seems to him that the friends should realise it is not befitting for the Guardian's own brother, the grandchild of the Master, an Afnan and Aghsan mentioned in the Will and Testament of the Master, and of whom so much was expected because of his relation to the Family of the Prophet, to marry an unknown girl, according to goodness knows what rite, who is not a believer at all. Surely, every Bahá'í must realise that the terms low-born and Christian are definitions of a situation and in no way imply any condemnation of a person's birth or the religion they belong to as such. We have no snobbery and no religious prejudice in our Faith. But the members of the Master's family have contracted marriages which cannot be considered in any other light than disgraceful, in view of what 'Abdu'l-Bahá wished for them." [32-17]
