But in the view of these evil narrow-minded bigots those teachings somehow makes them "Zionists" and enemies of Islam. I hope that more Muslims will see the ignorance and gross injustice of this, and put into practice Islam's high standard of justice and tolerance in the way that they treat Baha'is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29145551.post-63467004604868637002009-04-03T08:25:00.000-04:002009-04-03T08:25:00.000-04:00Anonymous,Thank you for these important references...Anonymous,<BR/>Thank you for these important references.<BR/>Bill & Marco,<BR/>Thank you for your comments.

As many of the adherents of our Faith<BR/>are of Jewish and Moslem extraction we have no prejudice towards<BR/>either of these groups and are most anxious to reconcile them for their<BR/>mutual benefit and for the good of the country.<BR/> <BR/>What does concern us, however, in any decisions made affecting<BR/>the future of Palestine, is that the fact be recognized by whoever<BR/>exercises sovereignty over Haifa and Acre, that within this area exists<BR/>the spiritual and administrative center of a world Faith, and that the<BR/>independence of that Faith, its right to manage its international affairs<BR/>from this source, the right of Bahá'ís from any and every country of<BR/>the globe to visit it as pilgrims (enjoying the same privilege in this<BR/>respect as Jews, Moslems and Christians do in regard to visiting<BR/>Jerusalem), be acknowledged and permanently safeguarded."<BR/> <BR/>http://badiblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/simple-solution-to-troubles-in-middle.html<BR/>This web page quotes an article from "Star of the West" Baha'i magazine which quotes 'Abdu'l-Baha as saying:<BR/> <BR/>"If the Zionists will mingle with the other races and live in unity with them, they will succeed. If not, they will meet certain resistance. For the present I think a neutral government like the British administration would be best. A Jewish government might come later. <BR/>"There is too much talk today of what the Zionists are going to do here. There is no need of it. Let them come and do more and say less. <BR/>"The Zionists should make it clear that their principle is to elevate all the people here and to develop the country for all its inhabitants. This land must be developed, according to the promises of the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Zechariah. If they come in such a spirit they will not fail. <BR/>"They must not work to separate the Jews from the other Palestinians. Schools should be open to all nationalities here, business companies, etc. The Turks went down because they attempted to rule over foreign races. The British are always in power because they keep fair and promote harmony. <BR/>"This is the path to universal peace here as elsewhere -- unity. We must prevent strife by all means. For 6,000 years man has been at war. It is time to try peace a little while. If it fails, we can always go back to war."<BR/> <BR/>http://question.bahai.org/004_2.php<BR/>"The accusation: That Bahá’ís are agents of Zionism.<BR/>The reality: This charge is based on the fact that the Bahá’í World Centre is in Israel. The Bahá’í World Centre was, however, established on Mt. Carmel in the 19th century, long before the State of Israel came into existence, in accordance with the explicit instructions of Bahá’u’lláh, who was exiled there from Iran."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29145551.post-67745786984165895072009-04-02T23:37:00.000-04:002009-04-02T23:37:00.000-04:00In the Mowahar segment, you can hear Gamal Abd al-...In the Mowahar segment, you can hear Gamal Abd al-Rahim working himself into a frenzy and paroxysm of unreasoning hatred of the Baha'is as he speaks. This is the worst kind of demagoguery. I know of no civilized country in which a person would be permitted to make death threats on national television against people. He should have been arrested immediately after the program for incitement to murder.Billnoreply@blogger.com
