Why do muslims persecute Bahais in Iran?

Question

So much for tolerance and peace!

candik and others - a source of the info on persecution of Bahais in Iran:

I don't hate muslims, but I do think their religion is one I would never accept.

Again, some people have lost the argument and have resorted to personally abusing me ("foreign kaffir"). How sad and shows their lack of self control and ability to actually put up a logical argument.

Answer 1

They are simply obeying their "holy book":
Qur’an:9:88 “The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah’s Cause.”
Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
Qur’an:9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”
Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”
Ishaq:325 “Muslims, fight in Allah’s Cause. Stand firm and you will prosper. Help the Prophet, obey him, give him your allegiance, and your religion will be victorious.”
Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”
Qur’an:8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).”

What a contrast to the teaching of Jesus Christ!
Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you...

Answer 2

So much for tolerance and peace you say. Christianity and Islam would be the biggest catalysts for violence, killing and murder in humanity.

Religion is responsible for the majority of wars, conflict and murder of innocent life since humanity began. There is considerable evidence to classify religion as evil, and talk of religion (Gods etc) should be banned. Because the records prove over and over again throughout humanity that religion is clearly responsible for crimes against humanity, taking part in any religious activity should also be outlawed and made a criminal offence.

The world would be a much happier and peaceful place if religion ceased to exist. Although there are some decent religious believers and preachers, they are unwittingly spreading evil around our world, and that they should simply keep their beliefs and thoughts to themselves in the best interests of humanity, or suffer the consequences for their actions.

People should consider that the world would be like Heaven if religion ceased to exist, but all the believers and preachers have turned the planet into Hell.

Christianity and Islam like to kill their fellow human beings.

I know there are many nice people who believe in God, but the real evil amongst us, are the vast majority of religious followers and believers who have clearly shown over time to be the major instigators of wars, violence, abuse, greed and practically everything evil on our planet.

Even according to Genesis in the Bible, God is clearly the greatest mass murderer in history. The Bible is full of terrible atrocities and evil, far more than nice things, but of course believers will just ignore or twist the atrocities into whatever soothes their confused minds.

Everyone knows of murders and violence associated with Christianity and Islam, I suppose all of the other major religions have a track record of killing their fellow human beings as well.

Answer 3

It's about power.

If the claims of the Baha'is are true, that Baha'u'llah is the Mahdi/Qa'im/Lord of the Age, then both secular and religious authorities are required to surrender all authority to Him or His designees.

Unable or unwilling to accept these claims, they are forced to the conclusion that the Baha'i Faith must be a subversive organization, founded and funded by the British/French/Russian/Israeli/??? secret service.

Answer 4

there have been no Baha'is in 1844. The Babis have been being persecuted in 1844. So, to respond to your question: i understand some, and curiously greater advantageous than you. once you are going to apply this communicate board to lecture, a minimum of get it suited.

Answer 5

they dont, if that was the case they would destroyed the ancient bahai buildings by now and cracked down on thier street festivals. its only foreign kaffir zealots like you who try to turn them against thier fellow country men/woman. i admit there is alot of tension not only with bahais but with others including even sunni muslims but iran is more tolerant in comparison to republican america, got it?

Answer 6

Because the Bahais aren't muslims.

Answer 7

you are worried about some nut who came up with a theory of everyone is prophet who was presecuted 100 years ago and not worried that they are presecuting even the people of their own faith for standing up against its government?

i bet you are yet another a follower of the "price of peace" jesus aka holy ghost aka jesus on father but not jesus. for once can you think outside the box and think for the whole humanity?

Answer 8

I wouldn't know, I've never come across and Iranian Bahai.

Answer 9

Why don't you people stop using Islam in your questions? It's so simple as that: you hate Muslims then just avoid us!

Answer 10
