The Baha'i Studies Listserv The facts are the facts and they are unfortunate and inconvenient. But they are not lies.
I am a man from Mars. Argue your points from a rational point of view, not because `Abdu'l-Baha said something in defense of Islam to a Christian audience. What is relevant on a Baha'i studies list is Baha'i studies not Gilberto's constant and unwanted barrage about the finality of his religion or its virtues, etc. He does not belong here and he refuses to leave. No, I was not condemning Islam. I am just stating the facts such as jihad and the facts that were in that video. Or permission to beat your wife. These are facts. In my view, they mean that the time of Islamic. Dispensation has passed. It's not a condemnation. I don't appreciate being lectured at regarding what a moral code of conduct for a Baha'i should be. I'd like to be given the latitude of making my own judgment based on my own understanding.

Indeed. This list is hardly private. We know there are people here pretending to be Baha'is who are in fact likely agents of those forces which are persecuting Baha'is in Iran. Do we really need to give them this sort of ammunition because you have a bone to pick with Gilberto? > Last has nothing to do with it.
