On Mordad, 1357 S.H., the Baha’ism organization ordered for dissimulation, regulating caution and supporting and cooperating with the Pahlavi regime in order to announce its strategy to confront the revolutionists. However, the reason for fear and searching of the Baha’ism organization for the possibility of revolution in Iran is that lest it lose its authority in Iran and can’t continue its tyrannies!
By advancing the revolution movement and the possibility for overthrowing of Pahlavi regime, the Baha’ism organization ordered for dissimulation, regulation of caution, supporting and cooperating with the strategy clear to confront the revolutionists and special circumstances.
It is stated in some paragraphs of the message of the Baha’ism organization: “Ordering for regulating dissimulation_ wisdom and caution and supporting and cooperating with the governmental officials for several times. The cancellation of populated receptions and gatherings, preventing unknown people, equipping and justifying places of the faith and preserving them. Appointing custodian and coordinator for each locality, gathering necessary information, guarding archives in strong compartments and secure places, visiting the blessed houses as pilgrim (Baha’ism leaders’ houses) as cancelled! Praising and praying for the Iranian king to be succeeded and for the king’s government to be continued.[1]”
The reasons for Baha’ism fear:
- After the downfall of Pahlavi regime; although Baha’ism claimed for being oppressed during Pahlavi periods of time[2], but in fact most country heads, army, SAVAK and the court people were Baha’is. The Baha’ism organization had taken possession of leadership and managerial pillars of the country and had acted in favor of its organization by tyrannizing the Iranian people.
- Although the Baha’i organization was shouting the slogan of being away from policy[3] and the prohibition of war and carrying weapons[4], but not only it had taken the possession of the country and military pillars, but also it committed all kinds of crimes and massacre in order to preserve its military and political power.
- The Baha’ism organization which was preaching the policy of obeying the government and submission and was always confronting against the democratic liberal movements changed its policy after the Islamic Revolution and changed its confrontation against these concepts.[5]
- The Baha’ism organization announce to be away from policy and stated its reason for its agreement with the previous regime as its leaders’ verdict to obey the government in order to hide its tyrannies against the Iranian people. Anyway, why didn’t it quit its destructive measures against the Islamic Republic of Iran after the establishment of the Islamic Revolution?!
