Treatment of Bahais: A test of human rights in Iran
Considering Iran's clerical establishment believes the existence of religious minorities undermines official Shiite orthodoxy, these latest arrests are just another black mark on Iran's long and dismal record of protecting individual human rights and religious freedom.... The Ahmadinezhad government argues that according to the constitution, Bahaism is not recognized and therefore is not protected in Iran. The president's tougher stance toward Bahais is probably also motivated by his apocalyptic views and his special attachment to the idea of the Hidden Imam.

LETTER
I too want to believe you in your campaign of Hope and Change. But I need more.
Dear Senator Obama, These are some of your quotes I have collected in my head on Iran.

It is actually just a university, but most of their research is done there and I really love my grandma. You have said: “[T]he big question is going to be, if Iran is resistant to these pressures [to stop its nuclear program], including economic sanctions, which I hope will be imposed if they do not cooperate, at what point, if any, are we going to take military action?”
