So far we only heard of individual actions. I understand that some people might be afraid of retaliation but what is worse than being a non-citizen? The suit would certainly have more impact than that of lone individuals. No one wants to be singled out on a list but the Baha'is will be recognizable by their lack of I.D. anyways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29145551.post-83397571067787305652007-08-14T09:04:00.000-04:002007-08-14T09:04:00.000-04:00This latest development is the result of years of ...This latest development is the result of years of peaceful and intelligent efforts by international governmental and human rights entities.

If Baha'is are not loved and appreciated in this ancient land, they are greatly needed and wanted in other parts of the world. Perhaps it is time for another 'exodus', leaving Egypt to God, Allah, to do with it what He will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29145551.post-51719107733410749942007-08-13T11:01:00.000-04:002007-08-13T11:01:00.000-04:00One can only conclude that this is not mere bureau...One can only conclude that this is not mere bureaucratic bungling, but an orchestrated campaign aimed at destroying the Egyptian Baha'i community specifically. Even though it applies to other unrecognized religions, it appears that the Baha'is are the ones targeted.
