Re: Believer Beware- Turf War

Allahu Abha!


It's a touchy business, IMHO.  Consider two cases:

Case A - The IRI is after Baha'is.  If someone says they are a Baha'i, they get
fired, or expelled.  The IRI does this because they consider the BF to be an
abomination against Islam which is seducing Muslims into Satan's service.

Case B - Billy Bob is confused about the latest initiative from the NSA.  He
made a bumper sticker consisting solely of the name "Baha'u'llah" and pasted
nine complementary copies to the bumpers of his LSA members.  Then he
discovered that they don't want the name of Baha'u'llah blazoned about the
highways and byways of Hometown, though they'd just been talking about
blazoning His name.  Billy Bob takes his consternation - not to his ABMs, or
the Regional Council, but to TRB.

            -x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Case A was crafted as an attack against the BF which is being conducted on
several avenues, to include discrimination against the friends.  In Case B,
there may be some valid criticisms about the institutions, and the challenge of
living with Baha'is, but the only reason that it might be considered an attack
is because the criticism was not routed to the institutions who are supposed to
address these sorts of misunderstandings, but, instead just posted here, where
they may form the basis of further misunderstandings.

Best wishes!
