All of us are dealing with the election whether we like it or not. The attractive promise of a candidate will attract us to him/her and will make us hopeful with the future, but when he/she doesn’t fulfill his/her promise(s), we will lose our hopes and trusts.
Suppose a candidate that promises for freedom. He/she say it’s enough for you to be limited. Come with me to be the freest human beings in the world, but when you join him/her, you will be deprived of the slightest right…
For example, the Baha’ism organization attracts human being with the excuse of freedom and modern commandments in one side, and on the other side, it doesn’t let the Baha’is to comment at all!! The Baha’ism organization says to the Baha’is they wouldn’t be the Baha’is if they wanted to comment politically!! Isn’t a Baha’i allowed to comment on the community and the government in which he/she live?!! Is it the concept of freedom?
We read in the Baha’i sources narrated by their leaders:
However, the criterion for being the Baha’i or not is that everybody who meddles with the political affairs and speaks about duties which are out of his/her limit won’t be a Baha’i. It doesn’t need any reason. Now, if one of the disciples wants to negotiate about the political affairs in his/her house or the others’ assemblies, he/she must cut his/her relationships with the faith and everybody must know he/she won’t belong to the faith otherwise it will hurt the public; that is he/she will disassemble our spiritual creed. (The Baha’i life, p. 155- This part has been recorded on page 336 of the book “the treasury of limitations and commandments)
How does the Baha’ism organization allow itself to enter each political atmosphere of the then Iranian community along with the hostile groups although there are various commandments which prohibit them to enter into political affairs and to confront the dominant government.
It should be forgotten that during 1388 sedition and after the presidential elections, the Baha’is insulted the Iranian people’s theological values for the first time shouting slogans which broke the norms. During the current sedition, the Baha’i rioters entered and meddled with policy. Now, how can this clear contradiction of the Baha’i leaders can be justified!!!
