Dear Gilberto,

We accept that definition, in fact that's why we don't consider
ourselves to be Muslims. And I would agree that the Lahoris could be
considered Muslims.

So do we. We are not Christians.

I would agree, by the way, that in terms of core beliefs at least some
of the Remeyite groups are not all that different from mainstream
Baha'is. The same cannot be said of the Jensenites who form more of a
separate cult.

warmest, Susan
