Bahai communities in the banner of IslamSuffice it to
say that presently in contemporary age, the researchers with a multiplicity of educational
and theological wellbeing are recommending controversial theories about the Quaran
and Islamic history, and are striving to reinterpret Islam for the modern
world. This is, as one scholar puts it, a "susceptible commerce." All
the way through the past century, the Baha''is of Iran has been maltreated. With
the victory of the Islamic upheaval in 1979, this discrimination has been standardizing.
More than 200 Baha''is have been executed, hundreds more have been imprisoned,
and tens of thousands have been deprived of jobs, pensions, businesses, and
educational opportunities. All national Baha''i administrative structures have
been banned by the government, and holy places, shrines and cemeteries have been
confiscated, vandalized and destroyed eventuallyWhile the people
involved in different forum under the banner of Islam at the free contemplation
of Mecca often spoke fun at their
membership in various Zionist and Freemason funded conspiracies, the survival
of real victims of such accusations was no laughing matter. The Baha''is in Iran
has taken the role of the Jews in medieval Christian Europe. They are
persecuted for crimes they committed only in the imagination of religious
fascists. The powers that be in many Islamic countries have expressed a deep
hatred for the gentle Baha''is, and openly acknowledge the faith as a threat to
the true deem. The persecution
is not only in Iran,
but all over West Asia and North Africa.
January of 1986, one Egyptian cleric remarked that "a Baha''i deserves the
penalty of an apostate... one who should either be brought to repentance or
killed."2 This is how the "tolerant" and
"loving" scholars of Allah''s true religion feel about those who put
forth a more peace-loving version of their faith.This deep
animosity for the Baha''is is found on every level of the global ummah, from high-ranking clerics, to
part-time cyber-mujahideen thugs who invade Baha''i newsgroups and chats. The
fact that Muslims would show so much hatred for such a tolerant religion is one
that leaves yet another black eye on the already besmirched record of the
Islamic religion. Because of this, the Muslims often try justify their hatred
for Baha''is by cooking up all sorts of insane conspiracy theories about them
being Zionists, Free Masons, or a plot hatched by the Soviets. The first step
was to follow in the footsteps of similar sorts of insane conspiracy theories
launched at the Jews. Just as there are the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, anti-Baha''i fascists cooked up
the fictitious Memoirs of Count
Dogorouki, a manuscript of Persian origin that claims a Russian diplomat
confessed to creating the Baha''i faith as part of a plot to broaden Russian
imperialism.
In view of the
above, it is seen that after the Russian revolution, interpretations of the Memoirs were misrepresented to claim
that the Baha''i faith was a Soviet/Marxist plot. When Britain
tried to colonize Iran,
the claim that the Baha''is was "British agents" became quite popular.
Of course, after the creation of the state of Israel,
the fact that the Baha''is had headquarters in Haifa
helped corroborate the claim that they were "Zionists." Another tag
that was later added was that of "Freemasons" (which is a wholly
ambiguous term for the collective bogeyman from the Islamic standpoint, and has
nothing to do with the realities of that Fraternal order). The religion of
Mohammad (SM) as envisaged in Al-Quaran ensures an ideal life based on codes,
ethics, regulation and rules further than doubt pertinent to all humans. Al
Quaran is the absolute code of life with which there is a chronological flow in
between death and life. This time without end is a very temporary life but the
transient growth of human lives one day will finish and e
will start and as such we are afraid of almighty whether our punishment will be
more after eternal life. It is said thatMan is unjust, God is just and finally justice triumph. Our prophet’s
life was not a bed of roses; rather it was based on bed of thorns. Through unrestricted
sorrows, he has spent his life and by utmost hard struggling, he has
established and enriched his religion ‘Islam’. As has been highlighted and
focused widely, it is obvious that not only Bahai, but also many people of
variety of communities through out the whole world misguide the lives of the
muslins and as such, the muslins have struggled to establish the truth which is
bestowed by God. All men are created equally but presently, the differentials
and deprivation against the Muslims have been created tremendously. We should
forget any obstacles and rather we should embrace one another under the shadow
of peace and opulence of life. Prophet Mohammad(SM) has taught forgiveness,
justice, equality, fraternity, peace and human race of live. In this context,
two lines of poem composed by Rudyard Kipling is worth mentioning:
‘Forgiveness
free of evil done
And love to all
men neath the sun’
