Concerning confronting against Baha’ism by Sunni, the time for confronting against the deviant cult of Baha’ism must be divided into two periods of time:
۱) The first days of the peak of Ali Muhammad Bab’s sedition. May be, Sunnis happy because Mahdism was opposed or deviated and weakened or destroyed cos they saw Baha’ism as a theological outcome inside Shia whereas Ali Muhammad’s Babism claim was the consequence of two policies of Ottoman and czar emperors and the British Colonial influence. They had recognized Shia as the best place for doing this treacherous plan. The excommunication of Sheikh Ahmad Elsaee, Sheikism architect, boycotting Kazem Rashiti due to being fameless, innovating in the religion of Islam, calling Ali Muhammad Bab as apostate due to profane claims, calling Baha’ism as misled and misleading all in all are the best reasons for this fact that Bab and Baha’s seditions are the outcomes which haven’t been and aren’t related to Shia.
۲) The second period of time when Sunni scholars realized that Baha’ism is a made and weak cult whose aims are Spying for the dominant Colonialists and creating disunity in the Islamic world.
The Sunni scholars concluded that Baha’ism is an invasion against Shia which changed into an invasion against the Islamic world. Baha’ism was started from Shia environments and expanded into Sunnis. So, it is understood that Baha’ism has been made along with Wahhabism and Qadiyaism to overthrow and destroy the basis of Islam.
As a matter of fact, Babism and Baha’ism are movements which have negative position equals to overthrowing towards the generality of Islam. As those involved in two creeds of Babism and Baha’ism have Considered Islam as abolished and have opposed its principles and consequents.
The religious leaders of Muslims have recognized this decision as the onset of cultural invasion or the military one against Islam. Each one confronts Baha’ism due to religious duty and opposes this Colonial and
Forged cult.
In Shiism, the confrontation of the Excellency jurisconsults started by excommunicating Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee, the architect of Sheikism and confirmed by the third martyr’s martyrdom. During the leadership of the greatest shia jurisconsult, Ayatollah Broujerde (pbuli), the campaign against-Baha’ism expanded very much; so that, this deviant cult could take on the key positions of the then system of the government in order to remove and persecute Muslims.
He cautioned that “the members of this party have influenced into many positions of the government and it is necessary for offices, sensitive centers and ministries to be purified.” Following this order, Alam the then minister of state announced:” the issue of compaign against Baha’ism is paid attention totally by the government.” The deputies of Jewish, Armenian, Zoroastrian minorities expressed their hate angrily against the deviant cult of Baha’ism.
After Ayatollah Broujerde’s departure, the Excellency Imam Khomeini (pbuh) continued campaigning against Baha’ism and removing the Baha’ism members out of the governmental offices
The Sunni Community realized that misled cult of Baha’ism is not only against Shia but also against the whole Islamic world. Thirty years ago, this issue was posed in one of the sessions of the universal assembly of the Islamic jurisprudence and the Islamic scholar in company recognized this cult as infidel and considered it as a great danger for the Islamic world in a statement. the
statement of this assembly was a turning point in the Islamic world against this forged Colonial deviant cult.
