The clergyman Ali Reza Rouzbahani disagrees with some researches who pose the issue of parallel government in their analyses.
Here are two categories: 1) the government which is in shadow and 2) The parallel governments. The governments in shadow move as opposition and discordant movements with the government. They form in shadow governments because they are not in the same party and have different views. The in shadow governments are practicing governing for the future and don’t play any role in sovereignty, but the parallel governments are beyond these statements.
The parallel government plays role and is influential and if we believe in parallel government in Bahaism, in fact we will declare playing role and influence of Bahaism on our country. I don’t believe in it at all. I believe Bahaism’s attempt in playing role, but I believe it is not successful.
Bahaism has tried to enter into our educational system for years, but it hasn’t been successful.
For instance, it has been influential on Hijab issue for nearly 5 percent or maybe less. I want to say that Bahaism doesn’t have any position in the Islamic republic of Iran. I certainly say this fact.
Bahaism [1] is struggling and planning, but it is not successful by the grace of God and Imam of the Time’s (P.H.) care attempted by the anonymous soldiers of Imam of the Time (May Allah [2] hasten his reappearance) supported by the supreme leader.
Some Baha’is have been exaggerated. I disagree with it. Exaggerating Bahaism is tyrannizing the community. Bahaism has become poor and dirty and it is begging for Israel. In this misery conditions, they are advertising to feel powerful when Netanyahu is visiting the Baha’i gardens.
We must be careful and alerted when we exaggerate about the enemy. Yes, Bahaism has been influential on the countries of the world; It meddles with education ministration, general welfare and social issues.
The Bahaism organization has high influence on most countries in which it has built “dawning place of the Mention of God”. For example; in Germany, Bahaism has remarkable power. Even, one of its educational programs in education ministration was a accepted and fulfilled.
In India, Chili and some regions, they have built “dawning place of the Mention of God “. These are important countries. The rest are small countries where agreed with building dawning place of the Mention of God due to financial problems.
A person who becomes Baha’i is also sectarian one who is naturally committed to the cult more rather than the sovereignty of that country, but unless how many Baha’i people are living in the world? According to them the maximum is 2 million Baha’is who are living in India.
Supposing it is correct, how many percent is the Baha’i population in 2 billion population of India?! The number of Baha’is is limited in America, France, Argentina, Brazil, Chili, Guinea and Panama. The power of influence is deprived having this population.
Now; unfortunately, some friends are exaggerating in order to show Bahaism as enemy and evil. I avoid exaggerating and minimizing the enemy. Both exaggeration and minimizing are dangerous.
Our enemy is not just Bahaism. We have various enemies. Sometimes, some people in charge consider Bahaism as a group who has an opposite belief. I feel worried seriously.
Our managers and people must observe everything including Bahaism in its real dimensions. If it happens, we will step forward definitely. However, if it isn’t observed suitably; that is, we won’t recognize the enemy’s planning, well. Just like a shirt which is bought by you as a gift. If it is tight or louse, I can’t use it.
