Experiencing and investigating socially and historically have indicated that those religious cults which have been focused on the new era thoughts and the issues related to social relations and programs have been welcomed more. Thus, the Baha\u2019i organization tried to create new ways to attract and recruit by making some transformations in the appearance and proselytizing for the cult since Abbas Effendi\u2019s trip to Europe and America (Abbas Effendi: the second head of Baha\u2019ism<\/a>). Abbas Effendi set a mixture of Baha\u2019i mainstream in such a way that is concordant with modern East and addressee and offered the Baha\u2019i twelve principles; the principle which haven\u2019t been new claimed by Baha\u2019ism and are antithetical with the cult function! However, using these principles, the Baha\u2019is proselytized extensively to consider the Baha\u2019ism cult up-to-date. \u201cGeneral peace\u201d is of the 12 principles which is going to be criticized and investigate in this article.<\/p>\n

First, what does \u201cgeneral peace\u201d mean?<\/span><\/h3>\n

In this regard Abbas Effendi sys: \u201cAs long as the general peace isn\u2019t raised and the greatest court of the humane world isn\u2019t established and also all our affairs which differ from countries and nations aren\u2019t resolved, the creation world won\u2019t be eased\u2026 The representatives of governments and nations who are gathered in the court should consider themselves as the real representatives of human kind without paying attention to nationality.[1]<\/a>\u201d he continued: \u201cin addition to forming national and local governments, it is necessary for the universal one to be established to fulfill the oneness of humane world.[2]<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

It is remarkable to be mentioned that the lack of paying attention to homeland and the lack of commitment towards country are being mentioned: \u201cA person who loves the world must pride himself\/herself not the one who loves his\/her homeland.[3]<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the key notes in these statements is mentioning the concept of the lack of paying attention to homeland. This concept possesses various aspects. Universalizing has dangerous consequences despite of its benevolent appearance. Nowadays, the specialists believe that: \u201cUniversalizing instead of making governments and businesses free made them web. Following the expansion of digital nets and financial movements and supplying chains all over the world, the countries -specially in America- started to use such events as traps[4]<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus, the important note is that which group is addressed by speaking about the lack of paying attention to homeland? The tyrant or oppressed country? Because this phenomenon can be changed into an element with anti-tyranny nature and can cause struggle for freedom from imperialism and acquiring national independence which is definitely defendable. Due to secret tampers with the universal imperialism, Baha\u2019ism can\u2019t stand this nationalism.<\/p>\n

Although this concept has fared with failure and universalizing has prove for powerful countries that there isn\u2019t any force for making free and it is a new supply for vulnerability, competition and control; the networks have shown that they provide less courses for freedom comparing with new chains\u2026 In the chain universalizing will be bonded with each other due to corresponding dependence. This dependence will temptate them to put their rivals\u2019 corresponding attacks\u2026 Universalizing itself can be ended in conflict in a new version[5]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the other side, Baha\u2019ism believes that its principles are new; while concerning peace such claim is quite facetious; because in divine religions and last moral and sociology books, this concept has been mentioned, too.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Baha\u2019ism wants to introduce itself as the forerunner of peace in the world; but has it be able to be bound with its claim even in the slightest social aspects? To answer to this question, we will investigate the cult text and their function in this field. At first, it is necessary to know what we are searching for. There are many cases of immorality and fighting among cults in this group and today Baha\u2019ism measures confirm that the Baha\u2019ism organization isn\u2019t merited for claiming for peace and even speaking about that.<\/p>\n

Baha\u2019ism was one of the branches of Babism whose heads considered themselves as Babis for years. Even today, Baha\u2019ism commemorates Babism and its founder Ali Muhammad Shirazi<\/a> as good; a person whose teachings are full of savagery and bloodshed. He calls his followers to behead the opponents, to burn non-Babi books, to prevent having social intercourses with other nations[6]<\/a> and to destroy non-Bab tombs and to massacre all those who don\u2019t believe in Babism.[7]<\/a> He orders to the Babi ruler to kill every non-Babi![8]<\/a> Orders which lead Babi followers towards savagery and extensive massacre.<\/p>\n

Being aware of this black and full of assassination history, Baha\u2019ism tried to conceal or reject some Bab\u2019s orders to show itself as progressed and different. Anyway, Baha\u2019is can\u2019t resort anything but Ali Muhammad Shirazi\u2019s cult to officiate and to have historical background. Especially when the self-proclaimed prophet of Baha\u2019is has been shared with all the crimes and savageries of this tribe.<\/p>\n

Another instance of Baha\u2019ism\u2019s anti-peace activities can be observed during World War I when the British troops were going to destroy the Muslim government and then to conquer Palestine in order to provide the opportunities for founding the forged government of Israel. Abbas Effendi gave his provisions to the Colonialists\u2019 troops. He was bestowed the knight medal by the British emperor due to his betrayal.<\/p>\n

In 1934 A.D. when Nazi party gained power and Hitler started his crimes, Shoqi Effendi (the third leader of Baha\u2019ism) issued a statement addressing the German Baha\u2019is and emphasized the necessity for obeying Nazi government and backing up its policies by the Baha\u2019is.[9]<\/a><\/p>\n

Obeying a criminal like Hitler means confirming Baha\u2019is contribution in his warmongerings.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the general peace is a slogan in which the Baha\u2019is themselves don\u2019t believe and its heads are certain that they aren\u2019t able to fulfill it. Since, they consider their fellow sectarian as terrorists. To such an extent that Shoqi Effendi didn\u2019t eat anything in the Baha\u2019is hoses for the fear of being killed.[10]<\/a><\/p>\n

These peace claimants have continually created hunger mugger social economic conditions along with smuggling and hoarding gangs. During the Corona epidemic days, the crimes of elements related to Baha\u2019ism in hoarding health and medical items, at the height of the need for these items causes the Iranian people of become ill and eventually die. Perhaps this malice, apart from extravagance and greed, is rooted in the cult\u2019s hatred and enmity towards non-natives.<\/p>\n
