POPSWhat Happened To Persia's Tolerance? The Iranian government's pogrom primarily against one religious minority, and its oppressive nature, stand in contrast to the Persian civilizations that in their time were the equivalent of Western empires.

POPSBahai Non-Involvement In Politics Dr. Ali-Murad Davudi’s essay is at once chastening, a cautionary note. Yet it is a loving embrace of a nascent faith, an emerging global religion, the light of which we can as yet not fully observe, but a light that nevertheless is bathing the whole of humanity within God’s loving grace, in which the diversity of humanity will reach its zenith once unity is achieved through God’s loving grace. His apparent martyrdom at first glance for me left a pit in my stomach and terribly saddened my heart and soul. Reading this left me bittersweet. Bitter because I am human and I see his martyrdom as grossly unjust. However, the sweet nectar is that Mr. Dr. Ali-Murad Davudi’s spirit reaches through these words to touch our hearts. The effect is at once profound and humbling. Let his words be studied by all seekers of the light of God of whatever faith. And, if you are of any faith in our one Creator, please say a prayer for Dr. Ali-Murad Davudi, a scholar, a gentle

POPSChilling Report Documents Antisemitism Humanity has not graduated to greater maturity when antisemitism exists. In fact, it seems as if the threat of such hate is more pronounced now than it has been since World War II.

POPSTalking To A Persecuted Bahai In Real Time From Iran, where this Bahai was detained, she reached out and commented on a blog I wrote. This is truly amazing, since Bahais are being persecuted under a new pogrom in Iran. She is valiant, as she used her REAL name.

POPSDeafening Silence From Iranians About Pogrom Against Bahais Inspires Appeal
"Iranian-born Khosro Shemiranie's account was so articulate that I'm sure it will be preserved for many generations because of its humanitarian appeal. We cannot say that we were not warned." It's worth pointing out that Shemiranie is not a Bahá'í, yet he recognizes the deafening silence that comes from Iran -- once an advanced civilization that has fallen into the depths of darkness that it will hopefully recover from. "What causes astonishment is the silence of the society – a society which at times actively collaborates with these barbaric deeds. "It is no secret that what has befallen the followers of the Bahá'í Faith in Iran has often come about through our own hands. In response to every authority that issued an order or every akhund that produced a religious verdict, tens, hundreds, nay, thousands, of us proceeded to perpetrate harm upon the Bahá'ís and on occasions reddened our hands with their blood. But, why? "The collaboration of various sectors of society with t

POPSRoya Hakakian Prescient When She Wrote 'Then They Came for the Bahai' In Iran Roya Hakakian said, "The current Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has taken a page from Khomeini’s book. He rails against Israel. He denies the Holocaust. Through these means he focuses all attention on Jews, and while the world remains perfectly oblivious his men assault the Bahá'ís. "Since Ahmadinejad’s election to presidency, there has been a sharp rise in anti-Bahá'í literature in government-sponsored journals, which has, in turn, led to a rise in gang attacks against the community. "That the Bahá'ís shy away, per religious mandate, from advocacy on their own behalf surrounds their predicament with even greater silence. "But for those in the West — especially for Jews, who know the lessons of World War II — the plight of the Iranian Bahá'ís is most urgent: It is an act of destruction, not simply promised, but already under way." Although some self-professed Muslims violate their own faith and insult in the filthiest and most-vile of ways the Prophet Muhammad

POPSIslamic Organization's Open Letter To President Ignores Inequality, Oppression In its letter, the OIC said, "... Islam is a religion of peace. Tolerance is its benchmark and borne of the very nature of Islam." I believe that is what The Prophet Muhammad taught, yet it is not what most Islamic ecclesiastical authorities (ayatollahs, caliphs, imams and mullahs) have preached, certainly not since the Bahá'í Faith started in the mid-1800s. Its origin was met with one of the most-gruesome persecutions known to humans. So much for words about tolerance; let's see deeds. I suggest the OIC act as Islam dictates and that is to protect all religious minorities. Again, message to the OIC: "... Let deeds, not words be your adorning."

POPSGoebbels Would Embrace Islamic Oppression What is unfortunate is that the Cairo declaration is actually a subservient document to the true intent of the OIC: to force Shari'ah upon the citizens of each of its member states and the world beyond as these leaders see Islam as the answer to the challenges of today's world. If want to know the names of the OIC's member states, here they are. Look closely at them and you will see some of the most-oppressive, corrupt, criminal and ungodly governments ever known to inhabit the face of this Earth.
