Persecuting the Dead - Yet another act of hatred towards Baha’is
Posted by farshid under UncategorizedIt really baffles me that the leader of a nation can deny facts in front of the rest of the world and everyone just laughs it off. As an example, when Iranian president visited Columbia university he made several denials that made the audience explode in laughter, yet none of these denials are joking matters. And yet another example of these denials that certainly cannot be blamed on his ignorance of lack of knowledge is the standard answer he gives on why the Baha’is of Iran are denied their basic human rights.
These are very deliberate denials. And Iran’s regime knows that no one will stand up to them on the question of minorities in Iran. Why? Because there are bigger issues that they get away with, so this one is a walk in the park, and that is why the president himself can outright lie and deny facts and get away with it.
Putting that aside, the question in mind today is what level of hatred, ignorance or whatever you want to call it does it take when you put so much energy into even destroying the Baha’is’ cemetery which is located somewhere very remote and desolate. And what have these Baha’is done that generates such a level hatred? They believe in oneness of mankind, oneness of religion, universal peace, elimination of poverty and many principles similar to these I just mentioned.
