" 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."
Not yet.
I've also never owned slaves nor did any of my ancestors so far as I know.
But I recognize I belong to a class of people responsible for this
oppression and therefore have a responsibility to combat its continuing
effects.
"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."
Yes, I know what you are saying. But given the fact that the persecution
suffered by Baha'is is real and on-going not hypothetical, to blame of us
for telling the story of that oppression in a less than 'politically
correct' manner is simply not appropriate.
