Yes it does. 

Rod's assertion is that for an attack on the community
to be an attack on the whole of the faith, it has to
be based in a complete rejection of the values of
Baha'u'llah, and his status as a Manifestation of
God.

Since the IRI thinks the Baha'is are heretics, and
that Baha'u'llah was an evil and lying imposter,
clearly their persecution of the Iranian Baha'is
proceeds from their entire rejection of the Baha'i
Faith as a whole, and their additional determination
not to allow the Baha'is the freedom of their
own beliefs.

We have yet to establish why you are wittering on
about the IRI, since that has nothing whatsoever
to do with your accusing Rod here of "attacking
the whole of the Baha'i Faith"

I suggest you either justify this opinion, or withdraw
this baseless allegation against Rod forthwith, and
quit talking irrelevancies.
