All of us are dealing with the election whether we like it or not. The attractive promise of a candidate will attract us to him\/her and will make us hopeful with the future, but when he\/she doesn\u2019t fulfill his\/her promise(s), we will lose our hopes and trusts.<\/p>\n

Suppose a candidate that promises for freedom. He\/she say it\u2019s enough for you to be limited. Come with me to be the freest human beings in the world, but when you join him\/her, you will be deprived of the slightest right\u2026<\/p>\n

For example, the Baha\u2019ism<\/a> organization attracts human being with the excuse of freedom and modern commandments in one side, and on the other side, it doesn\u2019t let the Baha\u2019is to comment at all!! The Baha\u2019ism organization says to the Baha\u2019is they wouldn\u2019t be the Baha\u2019is if they wanted to comment politically!! Isn\u2019t a Baha\u2019i allowed to comment on the community and the government in which he\/she live?!! Is it the concept of freedom?<\/p>\n

We read in the Baha\u2019i sources narrated by their leaders:<\/p>\n

However, the criterion for being the Baha\u2019i or not is that everybody who meddles with the political affairs and speaks about duties which are out of his\/her limit won\u2019t be a Baha\u2019i. It doesn\u2019t need any reason. Now, if one of the disciples wants to negotiate about the political affairs in his\/her house or the others\u2019 assemblies, he\/she must cut his\/her relationships with the faith and everybody must know he\/she won\u2019t belong to the faith otherwise it will hurt the public; that is he\/she will disassemble our spiritual creed. (The Baha\u2019i life, p. 155- This part has been recorded on page 336 of the book \u201cthe treasury of limitations and commandments)<\/p>\n

How does the Baha\u2019ism organization allow itself to enter each political atmosphere of the then Iranian community along with the hostile groups although there are various commandments which prohibit them to enter into political affairs and to confront the dominant government.<\/p>\n

It should be forgotten that during 1388 sedition and after the presidential elections, the Baha\u2019is insulted the Iranian people\u2019s theological values for the first time shouting slogans which broke the norms. During the current sedition, the Baha\u2019i rioters entered and meddled with policy. Now, how can this clear contradiction of the Baha\u2019i leaders can be justified!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
