Introduce yourself? Why did you translate the works in criticizing Baha’ism?
I became familiar with the German language due to academic educations. I was always thinking about using a new language for cultural and religious aims. After graduation, I tried to translate useful articles and writing from German and English languages into person one. Several years ago, one of my friends who was knowledgeable about Baha’ism introduced Ficicchia’s book. I welcomed the book. When I read the book, I really enjoyed the method of writing and its remarkable sources. Of course, I realized that it wasn’t the author’s mere work. He has written another book during the previous years in this regard. So, I became busy translating it.
Introduce Ficicchia and explain about his criticism reactions
He is from Switzerland who became Baha’i in 1971 S.H. He has also worked in the Baha’i universal center for a while. His two book in Baha’ism reveal that he has been active and has entered into Baha’ism, with recognition. However; after turning to Baha’ism he realizes that the advertisments existent out of Baha’ism haven’t possessed the real position inside Baha’ism.
There aren’t teachings like the independent investigation of truth and the oneness of humane world and etc. The looks which are existent for the advertising issues aren’t existent inside it. So, they withdrew.
He wrote a comprehensive book in Baha’ism called “DER BAHAIS MUS WELTRELI GION” in 410 pages.
Did he turn to and turn against Baha’ism in nearly 10 years?
Ficicchia has been a Baha’i less than 4 years. He has been in Baha’ism by 1974 A.D. The westerners who are investigating Baha’ism academically will produce good scientific works. They aren’t posing the discussion emotionally. He offers good references. His books made Germany, Switzerland and German speaking countries help the reality of Baha’ism be recognized.
In the introduction of the book, he himself wrote this book caused the German government to hesitate recognizing Baha’ism as a religious minority group.
Ficicchia’s first book caused the German Baha’i community to answer in details supervised by the universal house of justice meanwhile they planned to sensor Ficicchia’s works.
Has Ficcichia boycotted?
Yes, he has spiritually boycotted. They Baha’is don’t keep in touch with him and also don’t let others
Keep in touch with him. They have censored him. In the cyberspace, they don’t let Ficcichia’s materials be used by the Baha’is. The Baha’is have run a page in Facebook by his name which isn’t ran by him. He is alive now and is 70 years of age, but he is at work. Two or three weeks ago, I sent an email for him and he answered back. He got happy when he heard his book has been translated into Persian language.
