استعمار (colonialism] is an Arabic word which means asking for settlement, but the new colonialism means the influence and meddling of powerful countries on weak ones with the excuse of settlement and construction which has really done aiming usurping other countries’ possessions and assets.
Late Qajar dynasty, Iran was considered as an important country by colonial governments due to the weakness of statesmen, the suitable geographic position, rich oil resources and deep cultural and historical roots.
Consequently, they started extensive attempts to dominate on Iran. In one side, there were rake kings and princes who were serving colonialists receiving small amount of money. On the other side, there were zealous people who didn’t submit to humiliation backed by Islamic culture and beliefs and correct strategy of clergymen; this was the very strong obstacle against the colonialists.
The Colonialists tried to weaken people’s faith and to preach laxity. The weakness and indolence was the best means to proceed colonialism aims. Of course, they should search for those who were bond with religion less in order to be failed less and to prevent the community awareness.
One of these colonial governments was the Czar Russia which sent Kiniaz Dalgourki to Iran to fulfill its colonial aims. He prepared Ali Muhammad Bab Shirazi to claim for Babism and Mahdism to deviate a group of people, so.
After Ali Muhammad Shirazi announced this claim, he stated his lords’ positions frankly to complete his service. This issue caused the irreligious and timeserving people to be gathered around him. They und all of their power to beat Islam.
So, Ali Muhammad Shirazi says interpreting Yousef chapter: “Kill all polytheists and cleanse the earth out of them. It is allowable to confiscate the properties of those who weren’t Babi. When a Babi commander gained power, he must not leave anybody alive on the earth except for Babes.”
He has stressed on his followers not to learn except for the book “Bayan” and what is dependent on it. The properties of those who don’t believe in me must be confiscated. As soon as Babis gain power, one of my followers must destroy all holy shrines like Mecca, Jerusalem and prophets and holy Imams’ tombs.
After that, destroying all tombs of prophets, messengers and Imams and also Kaaba and the holy prophet and holy Imams’ tombs and other Islamic known people are necessary to be destroyed completely. He also ordered the Babis to build nineteen other tombs described in his book and visit them as a pilgrim and commemorate his name there and everybody must be secure entering into them. These constructions indicate the depth of this movement and its leaders’ enmity against Islam.
Amir the great’s insight in extinguishing Babis sedition flame caused Ali Muhammad Shirari along with some of his followers to receive their condign punishment and Babism riot ended. This issue made the Russian emperor astir to support one of their other agents called Hussein Ali Nouri who was one of the heads of Badasht event and excommunication of Islam in order for the sedition fire not to be put off and another sedition be founded.
He gathered the failed Babis around himself to betray Islam and the Iranian Muslim nation. Although Hussein Ali Nouri was performing some Islamic actions superficially to make people calm, but he was insulting Islam, too. So that; according to documents, the Baha’i agents were calling Shia as heinous fallowing Hussein Ali Nouri.
This enmity against Islam caused the great number of Bahaism population to be consisted of the superficially Jewish Baha’is since the onset of its establishment. The known proselytizer of Bahaism, Hassan Nikou writes in this regard:
“The Jewish people have assumed three definite benefits to enter into the Baha’i assemblies: 1) At least, they become the extra of the army which has rebelled against Islam and raised the flag of disunity. 2) Shias will have social intercourse with them and maybe get married with them because Shias avoid the Jewish people. 3) If the Baha’is overcome Muslims, they will enter themselves into their party
After Hussein Ali’s death, his son Abbas Effendi gained power and insulted the Shia scholars directly.
Consequently, all cults are the enemies of Islam. As Imam Khomeini (P.H.), the late leader of the Islamic Revolution has warned about these cults:
“These populations are shared in one issue and that is betraying the Islamic country and beating its guards. Because the enemies of Islam and muggers use of weak nations consider the influence of clergymen as dangerous. So, to preserve their colonial expediencies, they have made deviant and dependent parties to oppose Islam… .”
