You did indeed answer your question....<BR/><BR/>The alternative is for the world to remain silent and let atrocities be carried out in the dark as has been the case in the not so remote past...we know what that was like! The world is becoming a whole lot smaller and is like the body, each limb and organ is a component of that body and cannot be left alone to rot if it becomes diseased, otherwise the whole body is at risk of disease and decay. This is an issue of human rights which has no boundaries of one country or region. The Egyptian Baha'is have neither been silent nor been accepting their situation with resignation. They have been going through all legal means available to them in order to obtain their civil rights. Their behavior however in their resistance to these atrocities has been exemplary and dignified.Bilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060802520953738221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29145551.post-67689988645493558242007-02-12T03:26:00.000-05:002007-02-12T03:26:00.000-05:00It is admirable and courageous that the German par...It is admirable and courageous that the German parliament and German professors have taken direct action in ensuring that their institutions are not associated with human rights violations, regardless of the country of affiliation, and additionally commendable - in light of the delegation meetings in Egypt - that they are advancing the cause of global justice selflessly where it does not directly affect their national interests. What a contrast to the insular and primitive motives of the large majority of Egyptian authorities. This will be the point of initiation for a government, who has up till now, deliberately disregarded and underestimated the emerging influence of global accountability. The increasing efforts by individuals and public institutions alike can only increase the momentum of what is now an inevitable advancement towards a unified and integrated world community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29145551.post-89972065086332376432007-02-12T02:46:00.000-05:002007-02-12T02:46:00.000-05:00While I realize that the Baha'is who are persecute...While I realize that the Baha'is who are persecuted in the Middle East and Egypt accept their situation with radiant acquiescence, some people have said that we further endanger them by speaking out in the free world on their behalf. Do you agree, Bilo? Doesn't this arouse even greater anger and animosity against them? Of course, in the Baha'i Writings we are told to fear God and not man - I guess that answers my question. There is a wisdom to everything.
