The stigma of fighting is a sledge through which the Baha’is hit on critics’ heads! They call each criticism as fighting and each independent research rejecting Bahaism views as fighting letter. This kind of creed having such characteristics cannot be called a divine one. Such creed respect human brings rights and is not merited to be considered as a social school in such advanced world which assumes criticism as a natural right of people even Criticizing the highest foundations. Escaping from criticism is a scourge which ends in arrogance, party bigotry and repression and absolutism. The religious kind of it is more dangerous than any other kind else.
Of course, the scientific criticism possesses principles, methods and formalities, too which is different from good-for-nothing, destruction and spite. A scientific criticism includes a research which is supreme, documented and methodical for discovering reality and stating truth hidden in texts and behaviors of founders and claimants of a thought which presents documents for each of its interpretations and proves each of its claims. Such criticism is worthy to be read and paying attention to it is the duty of each reality seeker and the troubles suffered by this critic must be appreciated. Because his/her explanatory troubles will make others aware. Calling such critic as fighter is injustice, insulting and is rejected by the literate.
The Baha’i creed hasn’t been able to come to terms with internal and external critics, so it has fought with critics calling them fighters. It has called the inner critics as disreputable and the external ones can’t be tolerated and their works are asked not be read.
This medieval behavior of Baha’ism has made a selfish face and a frozen party organization out of Baha’ism by the open-minded critics of Baha’ism. The critics of Baha’ism are as follows: Joan Cole, Ficicchia, Denis Mac Ion, Caren Bucket, Sobhi, Ayati, Sabet Rasekh and Adib Masoudi and etc.
Escaping from criticism means the end of a thought. The more the Baha’ism organization proceeds in this regard and boycotts the critics and makes them notorious and isolated, the more it sinks in absolution whirlpool. We suggest the fair Baha’is:
Get yourself free from party-like orders of Baha’ism leader and read criticisms by ex-Baha’i and non-Baha’is and compare the critics’ speech whether it is true or false. Don’t make yourself limited with unilateral speech of organization in order to achieve the reality. God will illuminate the hearts of those who are asking for guidance:
وَاللهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ””
May God guide all right seeking hearts
