An interview with Hujjatul Islam Abdul Qader Homayoun
To begin, explain about your occupational and educational background?
In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. I am a simple scholar from the theological school of Qom city. I started my job in 1384 S.H. running a website for criticizing Baha’ism called “the reality Baha’ism”. At that time, it was a weblog in Parsi Blog. I visited one of the great religious sources of authority to ask about my duty. He stated: It is your duty to confront against the cults.
Q: Explain briefly about the historical origin of Baha’ism and the relationship between Baha’ism, Sheikism, Babism and their intellectual relations?
The dirty and deviant mind of Ali Muhammad Shirazi caused him to pose his claim; that is Sheikism. It means that he has been engaged in a deviant movement called Sheikism since childhood. It made him pose his claim called Babism. There is a close relationship between Babism and Sheikism.
-After Ali Muhammad Bab’s death, a gap happened between Babism and Baha’ism movements. A movement followed Sobhi Azal (Baha’s brother) and the other was in favor of Hussein Ali Baha. Please explain about these two brothers’ conflicts?
The origin of conflict was about the expression “the one whom God will manifest”; that is the one Bab had good news about his coming. Of course, Sobhi Azal hadn’t claimed for the one whom God will manifest and he meant Ali Muhammad Bab’s succession. When Ali Muhammad Shirazi died, some people claimed for his succession. However, these two people possessed many capacities. One of them is that both were Czar wage-earners. Hussein Ali Baha was also curious political and personable. These two brother fought and conflicted on succession; so that the Ottoman decided to divide them from each other. Yahya went to Cyprus and Baha went to Palestine. Yahya made Azalieh but Russia and Colonialism didn’t support him. They invested on Hussein Ali Nouri more. So, he was more successful.
-Explian bout marriage in Baha’ism?
Concerning marriage, Hussein Ali Nouri has said:
“قد حرمت علیکم ازواج ابائکم”
“Getting married with your father’s wife has been forbidden for you”. What about other intimates. Here, Hussein Ali Nouri has been silent. Also, the universal house of justice has assigned this responsibility to the Baha’is themselves to decide. Eventually, the universal house of justice issued a statement dated Jan. 15, 2010 A.D. being pressured by others. It said getting married with the intimates was illegitimate, but before this date it wasn’t problem. It was no matter.
-Explain about Baha’is belief on policy?
The Baha’i leaders have ordered the Baha’is that meddling with policy is forbidden but we can observe that in 1388 sedition, Baha’ism was in the center if riots as leaders sometimes. It shows that the Baha’is aren’t even bond with their leaders’ words. Today, the ways showed by Colonialism, America and Israel are important for the Baha’is. The seven heads of Baha’is in Iran’s crime was spying and doing measures against the national security of Iran. None of them’s problem was religion. I am aware of their private lives. None of them was bond with the Baha’i commandments.
-Explain about the relationship between Israel and Baha’ism?
Baha’ism had an influential role in establishing the Zionistic regime of Israel. When the English troops weren’t powerful enough to fought against the Ottoman ones, Abdul Baha supported the English troops by giving them provision. So, Britain could defeat the Ottoman. After that the Jewish returned and the Zionistic regime was established. Shoqi Effendi’s wife, Rouhieh Maxwell says: “Baha’ism and Israel are bond chains.”

The Baha’is are non-organizational spies of Israel. That is a Baha’is is spying for Israel while he/she thinks he/she is doing his/her theological commandments. The organizational establishes the assemblies and says to the Baha’is to report their daily events of their localities. The members are reporting wherever they are.
Overall, they are the spies of Israel. For this reason, Israel has accommodated them in beautiful gardens and has exempted them to pay taxes.
