Thank you so much Hajir and Hasan. Your thread should put to rest the "2000 years of suffering" issue raised by Gilberto.
I'm not sure what you mean exactly. So you are saying that just as some Christians really believed that the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, and the scattering of the Jews, and the Holocaust and the rest of the suffering experienced by the Jewish people in the past 2000 years was a punishment for rejecting Jesus.. you are basically saying the Serbian attempts to ethnically cleanse Muslims, colonialism in the Middle East, and the rest of the suffering of Muslim people is just God's righteous punishment for persecuting the Bab and Bahaullah?
Would you agree?
That's how this started. I already imagined that some Bahais believed that. So if you and I are saying the same thing, then what is the disagreement about?
Peace
Gilberto
