Al-Etthad newspaper printed by Abu Dhabi writes about the relationships between Baha’ism and Zionism an article entitled “the shadow of Zionism on Baha’ism”:
After Baha’s death in 1892 A.D., a strange event happened: Zionism established several groups to serve and invite Abbas Effendi, Baha’s offspring and his successor and opened their treasuries to back up the cult.
In order to expand and preach Baha’ism across the world, Zionism cooperated with Abbas Effendi and proselytized for Baha’ism where Islam didn’t exist such as: Turkmenistan, the Soviet Union. Then, it transferred Baha’ism to Chicago and San Francisco and the Zionistic groups gathered donations to establish the organization (the Baha’i Al-Azkar) and invited masonry assemblies to bond with Baha’ism.
In 1899 A.D.; after the establishment of Zionism conference located at Switzerland, the Jewish orientalists particularly Tumansky published the holy book of Bahaullah and published it in the third conference of the history of religions in Oxford as a collection of reports of the conference.
In 1909 A.D., the Jewish Hibault and Rinus published a book called the history and social values in Paris.
The Jewish religious leaders issued a fatwa for the prophetic mission of the Persian prophet and proselytize for him, and appointed the 19th century a date for his emergence and cleansing the city of Quds from Muslims. In this way, the Babis entered into a new phase of proselytizing. The followers of it believe that Baha’ism isn’t a cult from Islam, but it is a universal religion, and his religion has gone beyond the Islamic world borders and the prophet of Acre has also found bigoted followers in Europe and America who have helped Baha’ism organization’s created in America. They selected Chicago city as the center and founded Mashrequl Azkar there. They acquired many lands helped by the Jewish.
According to Gold Teshir, Baha’ism has proceeded via the emergence of Abbas Effendi helped by the Old Testament and the new Testament and claimed for the name of Abbas Effendi mentioned by the old and New Testament
