Dear Gilberto,
I too was bothered by Hasan's implication that the holocaust was retribution
for the Jews rejecting Christ.
Thanks for saying that. And he also, by extension, open the door for seeing any misfortunes experienced by Muslims as retribution for Muslim treatment of Bahaullah.
Ordinarily I might have raised some of the
same concerns as you did. But coming from a Muslim, it just doesn't sound
right. It sounds like a white person accusing black parents of spreading
race hatred because they describe to their children the treatment they and
their ancestors received at the hands of white people.
And *that* doesn't sound right coming from a white Bahai living in the West talking to a Afro-Cuban Muslim. I've never persecuted any Bahais. And you (I would assume) have not been egregiously mistreated by any regimes claiming to follow the Shariah.
The truth of the matter is that Baha'is don't hold any power to persecute
and kill Muslims
But the Bahai faith (like many belief systems) is trying to spread and grow and gain influence in society. Preparing for "entry by troops". Preparing to slowly set up a system of governing the world. I'm not talking about now. I've made it clear that I was talking about a hypothetical future where Bahais *do* hold such power.
Peace
Gilberto
