In one aspect, the problem of \u201cBaha\u2019ism and university: in Iran is related to the presence of Baha\u2019is at current universities and; next, it reminds us to so-called educational institute ran by the organization. To investigate the first aspect, it is distinctly observed that many Baha\u2019is are educating alongside other students. Albeit those Baha\u2019is residing in Iran who are performing illegal actions related to the organization are confronted and encountered naturally, the educational records of many Baha\u2019i students indicate the possibility of their presence at university. The second aspect; that is, establishing an illegal institute by the Baha\u2019i organization will be investigated more next.<\/p>\n
Primarily, the Baha\u2019i heads consider educational places as good capitals for proselytizing due to the great numbers of youth there. They have concentrated on preaching Baha\u2019ism in educational environments being aware of the importance of the influence of investigative minds of these people. They also stress on youth sensitive emotions as good sources to attract and preach their organizational beliefs:<\/p>\n
\u201cProselytizing issue at universities and colleges will be of great importance cos the students have generally possessed open minds. If the faith is introduced correctly to them, they will enter into it and their wisdoms and emotions will be satisfied favorably. However, such attempt must just be done by people who have been educated at university being familiar with the educated and intelligent youth thoughts. (Written by Shoqi Effendi<\/a> to one of the Baha\u2019is, February 3, 1932).<\/p>\n One of advantages of attracting the young students is their lack of bonds with special places and their relative independence; so that, a young person welcomes each responsibility which causes inspiration of independence feeling. In one of its messages, the organization explains that the youth can obey the sectarian orders more easily and will be changed into an effective force after being Baha\u2019i:<\/p>\n For each young person, including Baha\u2019i or non-Baha\u2019i youth is an important age. In this life stage, definite decisions will be made and a person will strengthen the foundation of his\/her life building\u2026 In this period of time, the young person\u2019s mind searches and inquires in order to gain the spiritual rudiments and standards which lead the next behaviors and actions of human being. These factors will open the greatest opportunities and campaigns for the Baha\u2019i youth\u2026 The second field serving is proselytizing for God\u2019s faith and preaching God\u2019s blows especially among youth\u2026 Basically, because young people don\u2019t take on the responsibility of running a family, they can easily select the places of their residence, education, and job. They don\u2019t feel any restriction in executing such affairs\u2026\u201d (The universal house of justice message to the Baha\u2019i youth across the world, June 10, 1966)<\/p>\n Due to such teaching, when a Baha\u2019i young person enters into university having such a look, he\/she looks upon all his\/her classmates as proselytizing cases and uses all moments to work on their thoughts and fluent souls. One of the examples of such victims is Ms. \u201cM. Karimi\u201d who has been bothered by one of her Baha\u2019i classmates that says in one of her interviews: \u201cWhy should a Baha\u2019i person enter into university? It\u2019s true that I was negligent. I don\u2019t want to perk I am not guilty; but now I have concluded that if I become in charge in this country, I will make Baha\u2019i kids not go to school! Because they misuse each opportunity.\u201d (if you engage in Baha\u2019ism cult, you will miss God, Shaffafiat magazine interview with Mehri Karimi, No. 33, Tir, 1391.)<\/p>\n In 1366, Baha\u2019ism formed its special scientific cadre, an informal institute, to teach the academic courses called Baha\u2019i Institute for Higher Education, B.I.H.E.<\/p>\n This Baha\u2019ism measure was illegal like other activities of the cult. It was even contrary to inter-organizational orders because according to the organization heads\u2019 order obeying the government is necessary for the members; so that Baha\u2019is have been prohibited doing something which is against the government: \u201cGod has bestowed the superficial government to kinds; so nobody is allowed to do against the kings \u2018views.\u201d (Hussein Ali Nouri<\/a>, Eqtedarat and several other tablets, p. 324)<\/p>\n Anyway, this illegal institute continued its activities for years by the name of education; but for proselytizing Baha\u2019ism and achieving organizational aims. Although many Baha\u2019is are defending this illegal action of the organization and claiming for no religious issue to be posed in these educational course; but it has been observed that exercises and educational notes have been written in the path of being Baha\u2019i.<\/p>\n In other layer of the adventure, Baha\u2019ism has established this so-called virtual university to be in touch with Baha\u2019i hands in America and Canada to attract people and to preach and settle Baha\u2019ism. Consequently, it is necessary to confront and smash such illegal foundation related to enemy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In one aspect, the problem of \u201cBaha\u2019ism and university: in Iran is related to the presence of Baha\u2019is at current universities and; next, it reminds us to so-called educational institute ran by the organization.
