Why do you want to "prove" something that everybody already
knows is true???

Thank you, Dr MacEoin.

And, did you have a point to make, Error?  A comment of some kind?

Is it wrong of the Baha'i Faith to take so much of its substance
from the inspiration of the Shi'i muslims?

Whether it is wrong or not, it is an obvious fact that Shi'ism
has a lot to do with the Baha'i Faith.

I think you could get more information if you read Moojan
Momen's book about the history of the Baha'i Faith.

If you didn't know, he also wrote an interesting, and
very readable book about the history of Shi'i Islam.

Do you reckon that it might have been the fact that he
knew Shi'i Islam had a big part to play in the foundation
of his own Baha'i Faith that got Momen
interested enough in Shi'ism to want to research its
history and write a book about it?

That's what *I* think, anyway.
