Transparency is one way to combat this, blogs can expose the ugly truth behind the curtain and now You Tube is out there…I think such regimes can’t survive having such knowledge out there, in this case it’s bad for business. God (or Allah) bless all of you for making this information public. “It is government policy and a minority of Muslims who are pushing the discrimination agenda ”

The Baha'is worldwide wish the Egyptian people the best in their material and spiritual quests. It is government policy and a minority of Muslims who are pushing the discrimination agenda and in the process are tarnishing the names of Egypt and of Islam. Baha'is obey and love God and accept Islam among other religions as a true religion of God. Dogma and ideology simply boil down to idolatry, which is forbidden in all divine religions!

Khavari Sat, 25 Aug 2007 04:34:14 +0000 http://www.bahairights.org/2007/08/24/egypt-tourism-ad/#comment-165 Hypocrisy is so anathema to the true spirit of Islam. Politicians pressured by the clergy betray the faith of Islam by their cowardice. It is the height of treachery for a majority to oppress the minorities. It is the duty of the strong -- usually the majority -- to defend the rights of minorities and the weak. Baha'u'llah admonishes the Baha'is to be "defenders of the oppressed and the downtrodden." The Egyptians shame the faith of Muhammad by their horrific injustices they visit on Baha'is as well as those citizens who are not members of the three approved religion. Egypt must immediately mend its ways and its discriminatory laws. Hypocrisy is so anathema to the true spirit of Islam.
