There is also a TV show aired in 1983 documenting the experience of Baha’is in Iran (note, we realize the bias within the video, but one must focus on the facts alone.) Regardless of how it’s being reported, these things did actually happen. We need to address them.
On behalf of all the other Muslims who allowed for this to happen, by either being silent or by directly contributing to this human rights abuse, we would like to apologize. The Baha’i Faith in many ways remains to be a forbidden one in our societies until we officially recognize it as a religion, which its members should be able to practice as a right to religious and individual freedom. We stand by our Baha’i brothers and sisters through this struggle, and demand that this right be recognized by our governments, our people, and our school systems. We would like to see the day that our friends can say “I am Baha’i” with pride without facing any consequences or discriminative behavior. Muslim activists within Iran in particular must help the Baha’is within the country take this much needed step forward.

Thank you so much for this truly supportive and peaceful way in which
you stand up for my Baha’i brothers and sisters in Iran. May the Light
of Allah surround you with His love and tenderness for your thoughtful
and precious acknowledgement of a person’s right and responsibility
in choosing his Faith for himself. Allah is One and Undivided… and His
Love and Mercy is universal.
With deep sincerity …

Wow! What an excellent Muslim website. You are like the devoted and faithful Christians during WWII who took in and protected the Jews from the hateful wrath of Hitler and his Nazi thugs.
Thanks a bunch, my new friends.

Bahá’u'lláh, speaking of these very ones who were attacking and decrying Him, said, “They are My heralds; they are the ones who are proclaiming My message and spreading My Word. Pray that they may be multiplied, pray that their number may increase and that they may cry out more loudly. The more they abuse Me by their words and the greater their agitation, the more potent and 437 mighty will be the efficacy of the Cause of God, the more luminous the light of the Word and the greater the radiance of the divine Sun. And eventually the gloomy darkness of the outer world will disappear, and the light of reality will shine until the whole earth will be effulgent with its glory.”
(Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 436)
