    Ok, That suits me fine. We all are prejudiced I guess in our own ways. Regards,

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    You wanted a response, you got it. I have said time and again, why the Iranian government, I have never made a comment about any government. I get responses on my web site asking me to write an article condemning this and that. I never do that and I can assure you that I will never do that ever...

    Many Iranian lay societies are dedicated to persecuting Baha`i's

    Thanks Mick: I am only an humble individual - no organisation, no nothing. I have read about the Hojjatiyyeh - the Western media machine ensures that I read about it! I genuinely believe the remark from Scott is unwarranted and reeks of prejudice. And to think that I am labelled as...

    The Bab

    Hi: I am back - there was a problem which got sorted out so the web site is back and running. I read some of the threads of this topic and while it has been silent for some time, I would like to put forth this question: While the Judiac, Christian and Islamic viewpoints about life after...

    I have downloaded the Ocean Research project, but could not find Thief in the Night in that. Do you have a soft copy. If yes, could you please forward it to me. You know my address: imranshaykh@gmail.com? Regards,

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    Volumes 51, 52 and 53 of Behar talk about the Qaem, his government, his long life, his occultation, his birth, his long life, his name, his parents, his representatives, conditions preceding him, conditions following him etc etc. Where do you want to start? I recommend that we start with the...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    Dear Mick: I apologise - you are correct, the original post was about the birth of Bahaullah. As part of the earlier posts, the question about the tradition of Imam Ali came up which concerns the Bab as well. Hence I guess, the topic veered towards the Bab. If it is ok, and since not much is...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    Apologise for creating that perception. I dont know where you got that from - perhaps becase of my post about the West. That post simply came out of your own post wherein you highlighted that Western world regard for human rights. Just for the record, all Bahais are equal in my eyes. Regards...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    Of course, I am a sincere seeker of the truth. My web site reflects that. Go through the list of books on my web site (I would be happy to put the link here except that it will be removed saying that the web site is prejudiced) and let me know how many books from that list you have read. Such is...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    The Bab is critical to the Bahai Faith. His teachings are what led to the birth of a "Bahaullah" just as the Shaykhi teachings led to the birth of a "Bab." Secondly, if the Bahais consider him as a Mahdi and espouse that theory, it must be understood why. It has implications for all our...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    I dont know how to dance, leave alone wear tap shoes! How is it a prophecy for the birth of if Imam Ali says that I am two years younger than my Lord? How is it a prophecy? And any response to all the other traditions in the same book about the Mahdi? Why are they not being considered...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    Thanks Bruce: I am particularly interested in the books of the Bab. Would you have any idea about these. Most of the books of the Bab are available in their source languages - Arabic and Persian - and have been available for as long as I can remember. Thankfully, I am fairly proficient in both...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    I second your observation completely. As a Bahai and importantly as a human being, one will and should be concerned. There are no two views about that. Perhaps my own posts reflect that I am equally concerned about the state of Muslims. The point was that in the middle of an academic...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    Thank you Scott for your kind words. I have scant respect for the "concepts of human justice" espoused by the Western world. It was the West that bombed Iraq, Afghnistan, Lebanon practiced slavery, discriminated against blacks, which looked the other way when Muslim shrines in Iraq were...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    Dear Scott: Firstly, it is a prophecy of Imam Ali (as) about his death that he would be martyred when his age would be less than the Holy Prophet (pbuh) by 2 years. Not that Ali preceeded the Holy Prophet by 2 years. So your analogy is flawed. In fact, just for the record, Ali was born 30...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    I have no intention of pirating any threads and despite your fervent appeal not to respond, I will take the liberty of doing so. 1. Raising questions, in my extremely humble opinion, does not constitute an attack on any Faith or for that matter on any person. 2. I asked the question much...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    You are correct. The original thread is not about the tradition of Imam Ali found on the footnote of Behar, volume 38, page 271 and liberally quoted by the Bahais as being the fulfilment of the prophecy of the birth of Bab and Bahaullah. I will not ask this question again in this thread. But...

    Birth of the Baha'u'llah

    I am not sure what to make of your response. At one place, you tell me that original books are not available in Persian and Arabic, yet on the other hand you bring one tradition from Isbatul Huda. Incidentally, I was just finalising a response to this argument about a "new" commission brought by...
