As a Baha'i I am heartened to stumble upon this website. For years I have explained to family, friends, collegues and the like that Islam is a beautiful religion with a visable minority who give it a bad image. The true image is the majority of decent, honest, hard working and kind hearted people who profess Islam. Many thanks for your website, not just for defending Baha'i's human rights, but for demonstrating that muslims care about the values of humanity enough to speak out against injustice and by doing so re-enforcing our faith in Islam.

When I am defending Islam in my discussions, one of the most common ones is that they say, when I inform them of the simple and obvious fact that it is the tiniest of minorities of Muslims who engage in terrorism and persecution in the name of Islam, is that "there is no public outcry" and that "Muslims don't stand up and say anything" And then I point to this site, and say "Yes, yes they do."

I certainly do not agree with Harris' notion that he does so. The only part of Harris’ statements I can agree with is the need to use reason when studying religion.

I certainly do not agree with Harris’ notion that he does so.

This kind of generalization and oversilmplification which is a trait of Mr. Harris's work is suitable for a toddler's developmental level, not a grown human being. I just wanted to say that it gave me chills, and uplifted my spirit when I saw Baha'is defending Muslims (which they should always do if they are True Baha'is), and Muslims defending Baha'is when they are wrongfully being accused and persecuted for no wrong doings; just for having Baha'i Peaceful Divine Holy and Godly Beliefs. As a True Baha'i, I would love to thank all my Muslim Sisters and Brothers, including my dad who is a devoted Muslim, but open-minded enough to let me choose to get a Baha'i education, and did not oppose my search for finding the Truth. I LOVE ALL HUMANITY. World Peace, Keep up the Good Work in a Peaceful Manner.

Thank you for being an instrument for the establishment of justice on this earth and for having the courage to stand strong and defend our Baha’i brothers and sisters in the East who have suffered open and hidden persecution for many, many years... I became a Baha’i after being an agnostic and one of the things I had to do first was to accept His Holiness Mohammad as a Prophet of God who had come after Christ. I have read parts of the Koran and may say that I know in my heart that is Truly The word of God! As a Baha’i I accept the Koran as a Holy Book, along with the Bible and others. My appreciation of Islam is great and I always, always defend it when it is attacked by anyone whose opinions of Islam have been manipulated by the mass media. I educate people about the truly peaceful nature of Islam itself and how in its core it is a religion humanity and Europe owe a lot to in the sense of education, science, etc, etc. A heartfelt thank you again! You will all be in my prayers! May God be with you! Dear brothers and sisters,
