Abdul Baha has drown a hollow image of humanity before the European emigrated to America: “There was nothing on this peace of land called America. It was a jungle and an empty land. What made it cultivated. The humane wisdom… Before Christopher Colombus came to America, America was the nature world. Now, it has become the human world…[۱]”
Eventually, Abdul Baha called the American Indians as ignorant people and compared them with African ones. He called the American Indians as animals grown by Anglo-Saxons: “If a baby is being born and we don’t educate him/her, what will happen. Undoubtedly, he/she will be ignorant and animal. Pay attention to African people. They resemble animals; but they may be inferior. So, we can observe that the divine education (: European one) has evolved the humane one (:America).[2]”
However, what us used by Abdul Baha’s speech is that the American Indians are inferior to animals because they haven’t been educated according to his will and the emigrant Europeans have been considered by him as the transmitters of wisdom and humanity to America! At the end, Abdul Baha has considered the emigrant Europeans as the agent of preaching the divine education which has changed the animal world to humane one without mentioning the red-skinned massacre! Anyway, how is it possible for claiming for the innovation of the slogan of the oneness and equality of human beings to be accepted by the Baha’i leaders?!
