Khavari Tue, 25 Dec 2007 05:06:55 +0000 http://www.bahairights.org/2007/12/22/bahais-mistreated-in-indonesia/#comment-390 I just can't understand why some people who consider themselves Muslims set themselves as arbiters of other peoples' beliefs. What makes these people so self-righteous, if not outright arrogant, to decide what is an acceptable religion and what is not? To any panel of impartial judges the Baha'i Faith seems exactly the kind of enlightened egalitarian and spiritual faith that mankind needs. The Baha'i Faith is also closely related to the good and pure form of Islam and honors and promotes it. When will these "Muslims" break out of their intolerance? Please people join the 21st century and embrace love, equality and brotherhood for all irrespective of any and all considerations.
