From the early days of the Baha’i Faith, the rigid-minded ecclesiastical order in Iran has attacked the Baha’i community about the evolutionary character of the Bab’s claims. For those not familiar with the Bab, it should be pointed out that He was the founder of Babi Religion and a co-Founder of the Baha’i Faith. Since the coming to power of the Islamic regime some 30 years ago, a whole cottage industry has developed to write attacks against the Baha’i Faith – a well-financed industry supported by the central government with people’s taxes and oil revenue.
Recently, one of the staff of Iran Press Watch had an opportunity to briefly address this issue in a gathering. Since attachments cannot be posted here, interested readers are directed to http://www.iranpresswatch.org/2009/04/claims-of-the-bab/ for an exploration of this theme.
