Baha’ism leaders have considered removing religious bigotries and seeking truth as one of its new teachings; while the self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism has assumed the extent of science and wisdom of people as believing in him or not contrary to these slogans and has also considered those who reject him as the most learned one. Anyway, how can the slogan of independent investigation of truth be shouted without bigotry?!
We say to the Baha’is: why are bigoted with your cult blindly contrary to your slogans?!
The answer:
It is not true. Our leaders have assumed bigotry as the destroyer of human basis: “religious bigotry destroys humane basis.[1]”
We say: Well; why does your self-proclaimed prophet consider believing in him as the criterion for wisdom if you aren’t bigoted?! The forged prophet of Baha’ism has said: “The criterion is this position which was mentioned. A person who became prosperous with it; that is, he/she knew the source of emergence, he/she will be considered in the divine book as included among sages…[۲]”
Consequently, they are offering the worst speech discussions: “The unbelievers of the Excellency Bahaullah would become the Baha’is if they were sages.”
We answer to them: Your leaders have considered the most learned people as ignorant because they have not accepted Baha’ism. Isn’t it bigotry: “Today, if a person knows all sciences on the earth and doesn’t accept Baha’ism, he will be of the most ignorant people.[3]”
They will answer:
If a person is a real learned one, he/she will surely accept the Baha’i faith.
We will answer: So, you figured out that you are blindly bigoted with your faith because you consider believing in you leaders as the extent for science and wisdom! How can you shout the slogan of independent investigation of truth[4] and consider the unbelievers in you as the most ignorant people even if they are the most learned ones?! Is obeying blindly the criterion for science according to you?!
