How can the emergence of Babism claim and the prophethood of Ali Muhammad Bab be interpreted as the gate for transferring to the new era while inviting to savagery by him and even prohibition of using his common sciences was a withdrawal for humanity?! As a matter of fact, how can a person be an admirable example while he has ordered for unchastity to be expanded?!
The Baha’i media have interpreted the emergence of Ali Muhammad Bab as the gate for transmission to the new era and splendid future, but it is interesting to be known that the non-Babis have no right to live and ethical and cultural values are meaningless!
The Baha’is interpret the emergence of Ali Muhammad Shirazi’s claims as the gate for entering from the past to the splendid future. As we read: “In 1223 S.H., a young man from Shiraz called Ali Muhammad introduced himself as the founder of a modern religion. A religion which announced old traditions as rejected, and stressed on promoting women’s position, general education and continuing the emergence of divine prophets. He introduced himself as the symbolic gate between the previous eras and that splendid future and the great day for which humanity is waiting forever. So, he chose Bab title for himself.[1]”
However, which movement and change were formed during Ali Muhammad Bab’s period of time or what was his creed’s achievement for humanity to be considered as the gate for entering into the new era?! It must be asked what is the transformation of removing old traditions?! Are prohibition of using current sciences such as medicine[2] and ordering for massacre and confiscating the opponents’ properties[3] and the like the modern works founded by Ali Muhammad Bab?! Did his fictional verdicts such as not riding Cows and not drinking donkeys’ milk[4] or not breaking eggs due to not to be damaged[5] or discovering donkey’s creation in the form of the earth[6] and etc. transfer human being to a new era of civilization?! Or vice versa, the emergence of his claims and inviting to savagery by him and ordering for using common sciences for his era was a remarkable turning about?! Does promoting women’s position mean turning them to laxity?! Or they try to make prostitutes and terrorists out of Babi women by abolishing cover?! As Ali Muhammad Bab ordered married women to be pregnant by other men[7] and the Babi Qorratul Ein spoke about men to be other women’s bed-fellows[8]
O’ Baha’i proselytizers, what do you mean by transformation in education. Do you mean the prohibition of studying all books except non-Babi ones and issuing verdict for burning all books?! As he said:
“لا یجوز التدریس فی کتب غیر البیان[۹]“
“فی حکم محو کل الکتب کلها الا ما انشات او تنتشیء فی ذلک الامر[۱۰]“
