Baha'i Persacution in Iran

As an American Baha'i, I am aware of the treachery and evil of the leadership of Iran. I would believe every threat they make. I would not believe any of the promises they claim. I simply do not trust any of the Irani rulers. They have decimated a loving community with glee and celebration and continue to do so, even though they deny their activities to the world. I pray for the world to understand their deviousness and their threat to the peace of the world and to act accordingly.

This comment by Mick on the Baha'i persecutions in Iran and the evil nature of the current Irani government, was posted here on Blogcritics.

The Irani government has been persecuting the Baha'i and Bab'i people for over 150 years with tens of thousands of people killed purely for their religious belief.  The awareness of these religious persecutions must be brought to the attention to the peoples of the world.  We have an obligation to say "enough is enough" and to act accordingly.



It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. ~~Baha'u'llah

The chief idols in the desecrated temple of mankind are none other than the triple gods of Nationalism, Racialism and Communism, at whose altars governments and peoples, whether democratic or totalitarian, at peace or at war, of the East or of the West, Christian or Islamic, are, in various forms and in different degrees, now worshiping. ~~Shoghi Effendi, The Promised Day is Come

This video from YouTube - Baha'i Hearing in US Congress - was shared with members on a Baha'i Yahoo Group, and I would like to share it with members here.
