You quoted some passages from the Quran. I'm saying that there are other
passages in the Quran that aren't as nice. Such as the passges in the
ninth chapter of the Quran or the passages about Abu-Lahab. Again,
there are tons of passages in the Baha'i Sacred Writings about being
kind and loving to our enemies, not to retaliate against people who
persecute us, about it's better for Baha'is to be killed than to kill,
etc., etc. These are the obligations of Baha'is. What Baha'u'llah
pronounces in His Writings gainst those who had rejected and/or
peresecuted Him, is the voice of God. He, like Muhammd, is the
mouthpiece of God. Baha'is understand this and they don't go about
peresecuting non-Baha'is or Muslims.
I said true Muslims because there definitely are people who call
themselves Muslims but distort and misrepresent the message of Quran &
Islam. I'm pretty sure you know who I'm talking about.
As far as the concerns of Baha'is and Muslims are concerned: I stand by
my comments; but, obviously, the concerns of those Muslims who are
actively persecuting us are different from our concerns on the receiving
end of such persectutions. But that's perfectly understandable. And,
also, Baha'is don't have enough resources to try to fight against
persectution of their fellow Baha'is let alone try to fight against
injustices done to other Muslims in other communities.
About "got that?" You made some words (such as hated, if I'm not
mistaken) in BOLD FACE in one of your postings today. I don't like that
either.
