The first guardian of Baha’ism, the Excellency Shoqi Effendi has described the Iranian land people as bigot, ignorant and tyrant known everywhere in the world. He has also called the Iranian people s oppressive and barbarous! Shoqi Effendi has trampled the Baha’is claiming for charity and accepting tyranny without mentioning his ancestors’ crimes.
The Excellency guardian of the faith: “This blessed faith as born in a country whose people are known as extremely bigoted, ignorant and tyrant. Some calamities stroke it to which it isn’t necessary to point even in brief.” He continued to claim calling Iranian people as bloodthirsty: “Additionally, it is not necessary to praise value, status and stability of the holy souls which stood against those bloodthirsty people”. Shoqi Effendi has also said calling Iranian people as tyrant and ruthless: “Additionally, it is not necessary for me to say those indescribable tyrannies made other people hateful due to the ruthless scenes.[1]”
However; to criticize and investigate Shoqi Effendi’s claim, it is necessary for three points to be mentioned:
۱- The addressee all of these cursing by the Baha’i leader is not the Shia scholars, rulers or the Iranian government agents; but is all Iranian people.
۲- On his presumptuous text, Shoqi Effendi didn’t mention his ancestors’ riots and warmongerings in the country and didn’t speak about unique Babi crimes against Iranian people[2]
۳ – How is it possible for claiming for charity and accepting tyranny by the Baha’i leaders while their cursing are ignored?!
Late 1957 A.D., Shoqi Effendi was suffered from Asian Flu when he was providing furniture of Darul Athar in London. I died on Nov. 4. 1957 A.D.
