As a Baha'i I saw nothing offensive in your video. We need the support of our Muslim brothers and sisters. Your cause is noble and your rewards in this world and the next will be plentiful.

The internal political environment that makes the government complicit in perpetrating injustices towards the Baha'is is unfortunately perpetuated by the confidence the government has that the Baha'is will not arise in opposition because of the Baha'i teachings that forbid their involvement in politics. But the government is mistaken if they think the Baha'is will vanish or go away. They will stand for their legitimate civil and human rights until such rights are restored. Your video was witty and well done and succeeded in making people aware of the oppression the Baha'is confront in Egypt. I am sure that your aim is not different from the aim of the Baha'is of restoring their human and civil rights. I am sure that your aim, and the aim of the Baha'is, is not to negatively impact tourism or weaken the Egyptian economy. On the contrary, the future of Egypt will be much brighter and its prosperity much greater if basic freedoms guaranteed by many international treaties are upheld in Egypt. Again thank you for your commitment and sacrifices in the cause of restoring and protecting Baha'i rights in Egypt and Iran.

You have, with no doubts, succeeded in creating awareness among the Egyptians and the whole World. The issue of Human Rights is an essential issue for the development and progress of any country. Presuming that Human Rights would be soon established in our beloved Egypt, than all Egyptian citizens will stand as one united country and solve all their problems from unemployment, healthcare, education, environment,...etc. Without unity among Egyptians, on all levels, progress of the county will not be sustained or established. Thank you again dear Muslim network for defending Baha'i rights and promote Justice.
