In an interview with Farah Pahlavi done by Hossein Mehri Several years ago in radio which was casted in round-the-clock radio of Los Angeles, she pointed out that Hovyda’s attachment and bond with the deviant cult of Bahaism and said:
Hoveyda was continually inducing the shah that Islam is the religion of Arabs and it is not merited for us to obey it and was asking him to cancel the provision of the obey provision the Constitution concerning the religion of Islam to be the formal one. Hoveyda was telling Shah that Bahaism is an Iranian religion and it is originally from Iran and was asking him to support this cult and to cause it to develop.
While Hoveyda had rejected his religion as a Baha’i which was accused by the revolutionists and he had said to be Muslim.
Recently, Mr. Dr. Hamid Reza Ismaeel had posed a new discussion about Hoveyda to be a Baha’i in his book called the political organization of Baha’ism and has written:
Basically, the high-ranking agents who were Baha’i during Pahlavi period of time particularly Amir Abbas Hoveyda and Parviz Sabeti were bond with Baha’ism concerning concern with identity and organization more than the theological attachment in spite of their family background which were Baha’i. For this reason, these people don’t have any manifestation and emergence of Baha’ism creed, but their functions were in accordance and harmonious with the Bahaism organization. The educated perfect Baha’i people don’t believe in Bahaism teachings and are Baha’i due to identity and organization. They haven’t accepted the proselytizing ideology of Baha’ism naively and Hussein Ali Nouri’s claim like Toudeh. These people who are often from Baha’i families and need more organizational supports economic and political growth, and have merely organizational relationships due to their interests and relationships. They aren’t theological Baha’is, they are identity Baha’is.
He writes: “Hovayda was from a Baha’i family and had close relationships with the Baha’i heads. His ancestor Reza Ghannad was living in Shiraz City and joined Babism since youth. In next transformation, he was in favor of Hussein Ali Nouri. In Acre, he was accompanied by Hussein Ali Nouri and was of close relatives of Abdul Baha till he died and buried there. Mirza Habibullah Einul Molk, Hou eyda’s father was of his offspring who spent his Youth in Acre, Syria and Lebanon and studied in American university in Beirut. He went to Europe funded by Abdul Baha for two years and learned English and French languages. Having this skill, Einul Molk became familiar with warlord Asa’d Bakhtiyari and entered into the political group of him. Late Qajar dynasty and during Pahlavi periods of time, he was the political representative of Iran in the countries Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. His offspring educated in Beirut. “
