The Baha'i Studies Listserv First, I have to note that you did not answer Iskandar's question. I have no source, either, but I do vaguely remember reading something to the effect that Islam will be forgotten in the future - I think it as referring to the suffering inflicted on The Bab, Babi's, Baha'u'llah and early Bahai's.
>From whatever I read I did not get the impression that Muslims as a whole are not forgiven. The specific clerics who instigate in the abuse and continue to lead their people astray, perhaps ..... or perhaps not. Christ said that the only unforgivable sin is to deny the Holy Spirit. I think it was either Baha'u'llah or 'Abdu'l Baha who explained that this means to fail to recognize the current Manifestation. Again, I'm a terrible one for remembering sources, but I've also read that those who did not recognize Him during their lifetimes have another opportunity in the next world, and will be forgiven if sincerely repentant. It would be an outrageous God who consigns billions of people to hell simply because they were led astray by their leaders or never even heard of the current Manifestation. Second, as a former Scientologist, I have to ask why you insult the Quran, the bread on which Baha'u'llah was fed, by including it in the same thought as L. Ron Hubbard? I am offended. Surely, you can answer the question and cite your source without resorting to such childishly provocative insults?
