As far as protests, or various political activities prohibited to Baha'is: We
do not urge all people to abandon the realm of politics. We recognize that the
role of some people is to participate in the political realm.
The role of the Baha'is is not to participate in the politics, but to have an
impact at the level below that -- the level of human consciousness, the level
of values and attitudes.
So, for example, the documents of the Baha'i International Community at the UN
which are distributed among diplomats and world leaders -- these are
suggestions we hope will be picked up by others who work in politics.
As far as civil rights, equal rights for women and racial minorities, and other
matters that have marked improvements through political means: Again, it is not
that some people disagreed with the Baha'is, and got something good
accomplished. It is that there is a difference between the realm in which the
Baha'is work, and the realm in which others work. We strive to impact on human
hearts and souls and minds. These are the foundation of the electorate, the
foundation of governmental policy.
