According to the narrations by the holy Imams (peace be upon them), kids have the high capacity to accept and receiving influence. In this regard, Imam Hassan Mojtaba (P.H.) has stated about kids’ capacities:”
” … وَ اِنَّما قلبُ الْحَدَثِ کَااَرْضِ الْخالیةِ ما اُلْقِیَ فیها مِنْ شیءٍ قَبِلَتْهُ”[۱]
“Teen’s heart resembles a vacant land. It will accept what’s planted.”
Consequently, the Baha’i leaders and proselytizers have misused this impressionability and high acceptance of kids and have assigned a remarkable part of their evangelical proselytizing capacity for kids and teens. Thus, it is said in one of the messages of the Baha’i organization: “The Baha’i community is sensitive in all levels about meeting kids’ spiritual ideals… During recent years, the educational institutes across the world have play an important role in holding classes for spiritual education of the kids. Year by year, the educational materials increase the participants’ understanding and lessons concerning history and Baha’i creed works are being added. The Baha’i institutes accentuate the issue of providing humane resources for holding kids’ classes. For this reason, remarkable resources have been assigned for establishing and continuity of an effective system[2].”
It is obvious that Baha’ism cult emphasizes on proselytizing in evangelical style. Basically, proselytizing is a public and compulsory issue for the Baha’is: “The most important issue is proselytizing God’s faith (Baha’ism)… Everybody is responsible not to rest day and night and think of preaching God’s faith.[3]”
However, the Baha’is are prohibited to debate with researchers and awarded people about Baha’ism falseness. As Abdul Baha has said in this regard: “Don’t spend your time to mention the ignorant. Don’t spend your time to solve the deviated. Because lifetime days are dearer than that[4].”
Of course, it is not surprising that a cult which is unable to present reasons for the researchers and thinkers elect kids as the most important proselytizing aim group by misusing the characteristic of simple-mindedness of the kids contrary to moral and international principles![5]
