" So when Bahai children are told the story of the Bab and Bahaullah,
Muslims are the villans of the piece."
Dear Gilberto,
In practice it is not "Muslims" who are presented as the villians so much as
the 'ulama. And if there has been any fall-out from the prejudice that might
be created by this, I'd say it mostly falls on the heads of academic
scholars which the Baha'i community sometimes looks at suspiciously thinking
we are out to set ourselves up as some kind of clergy.
But if you are concerned that Muslim persecution of Baha'is might make our
children hate Muslims, then the best thing you can do is whatever you can to
stop the persecution itself, rather than speculate what Baha'is might do if
they were the ones on top, instead of the ones being killed.
warmest, Susan
