Great to see a few individuals have initiated this cause in support of basic rights of others. As an Iranian Muslim, I wish you the best of luck. I learned about your site through the BBC report.

This must have taken a lot of courage to do and for that I am grateful. People like you can change the world and make it a much better place to live for all humanity regardless of their color, beliefs, nationalities and so on. This is what the Baha'i Faith teaches us, God is One, Mankind is One, and the Earth is but One Country, what is wrong with that? For those who do not have the knowledge about the Baha'i Faith, please investigate for yourself and do not listen to false accusations from the ignorant. Once again I applaud you and your friends for your efforts, sincerity and courage, God Bless you. Dear Isra’a:

We know what we are doing, why we are doing it and we get our help and protection from God, The Creator, The Protector alone. It is all in the writings, and it is all available to everyone. Nonetheless, I will use Ahmad's response to say this: Dear Ahmad, if you have pain and go to your doctor, if they were good doctor then they will look for the right thing, in the right place and in the right way.. only then they can offer you a cure. If they were not good, then they will look for the wrong thing, or the wrong place or the in the wrong way, at which case you will maintain the pain. Dear Ahmad.. what are you looking for?? peace? God? the truth? I am not sure!! If you know can you share it with us? Perhaps we can help you achieve it. As Bahai Ahmad’s response does not pose a concern for me.

The answer is well documented on this blog. Baha'is are deprived of their human rights in some Middle Eastern countries including Iran and Egypt! The same contributor offers an anti-Baha'i video in support of his contention that the Baha'i Faith AND the Muslim Youth Network for Baha'i Rights are Zionist covers supported by grants from the US State Department. That contributor should recognize that it is these incorrect assertions and false accusations that are the main justification for the Mideast Youth nobel cause of defending Baha'i Rights. If one commits a crime, they should be charged with their crimes regardless of their religion. Criminals are still entitled to birth certificates, death certificates, marriage certificates, and other rights of citizenship. Not once have the Baha'is in Egypt or in Iran been charged with any crimes but they have been systematically detained, imprisoned, fired from their jobs, not allowed to be educated, not allowed to obtain birth or death certificates or hold bank accounts, etc. only due to their Baha'i beliefs. The common thread of all of this is prejudice and hatred of the Baha'i Faith and anyone who defends the human rights of Baha'is, and that includes the previous contributor! It amazes me that, the contributor, obviously an avowed hater of Baha'is - accuses them of being Zionist agents while, at the same time offering a documentary by an Israeli producer that attacks the Baha'i Faith to support his contention! The documentary, which has a negative tone about the Baha'i Faith, proved none of its authors' accusations! The Baha'i Faith forbids engaging in partisan politics but encourages work for world unity. The International Baha'i Community has a consultative status with the United Nations aimed at fostering this unity. Baha'is in each country obey the laws of the land. The location of their holy shrines is in the Holy Land and if that is what makes them suspect of conspiracies, shouldn't this suspicion extend to all of the Abrahamic religions including Christianity and Islam who also have sacred places in the Holy Land? A 20-year Bahraini Muslim defending the rights of a besieged minority in Iran and Egypt has a lot more courage and nobility than many others who can only think in terms of conspiracies and hatred. Supporting the rights of this minority that has suffered so much is far more noble than any deed a hater can hope to achieve in a lifetime. Have not the people of Jahileyya (Age of Ignorance) attacked the nascent Faith of Islam? Have not the Romans and Rabbis attacked the embryonic Christian Faith? And so it is with those who are eager to attack the Baha'i Faith and its followers. No one is asking the previous contributor or others who think like him to accept the validity of the Baha'i Faith. But it is the duty of everyone who lives in the civilized world to follow the pure teachings of his or her own Faith and to respect others who believe differently. Anyone who believes he / she has an exclusive monopoly on truth and rejects the refutations of fabricated lies, shows either unjustifiable superiority, enraged hatred, or an inability to understand the meaning of nobility.
