Why is the Bab shrine located in Haifa (Israel)?

Answer 1

The shrine was built in 1953 over the grave of Sayyid Ali Muhammad and is the world headquarters of the Bahai faith.

Sayyid `Alí Muhammad (Arabic: سيد علی ‌محمد‎ ) (October 20, 1819 – July 9, 1850) was a merchant from Shiraz, Persia, who at the age of twenty-five claimed to be a new and independent Manifestation of God and the promised Qá'im (Mahdí). After his declaration he took the title of Báb (Arabic: باب‎ ) meaning "Gate". Six years later he was shot by a firing squad in Tabriz.

Mírzá Ḥusayn-`Alí (Persian: میرزا حسین علی‎), (1817 - 1892), was a follower of the Bab. He is called Bahá'u'lláh (ba-haa-ol-laa Arabic: بهاء الله‎ "Glory of God") and is the founder and prophet of the Bahá'í Faith. He claimed to fulfill the Bábí prophecy of "He whom God shall make manifest" (Arabic: من یظهر الله‎ , Persian: مظهر کلّیه الهی‎ ), but in a broader sense he also claimed to be the "supreme Manifestation of God"[1], referring to the fulfillment of the eschatological expectations of a prophetic cycle beginning with Adam, and including Abrahamic religions, as well as Zoroastrianism, the great Dharmic religions, and others. Bahá'ís see Bahá'u'lláh as the initiator of a new religion, as Jesus or Muhammad — but also the initiator of a new cycle, like that attributed to Adam. The shrine of Bahá'u'lláh is in Akko, Israel.

Bahá'u'lláh authored many religious works, most notably the Kitáb-i-Aqdas and the Kitáb-i-Íqán. He died in Bahjí, Palestine, present day Israel, and is buried there.

Answer 2

Because the Bab was created by the British. British means Covenant of the People. Remember B'nai Brith. The Foundation of the Covenant.

The British encouraged several false prophets in the 1700s and early 1800s to break apart various religions. Bab was created to break up the Shia of Iran. It was a total flop, in spite of the son of the Bab being given Knighthood by the British.

Do you remember a prophet being beknighted before? Why was he beknighted? Because he was helping in the Crusade that continues on in Iraq today. Imagine a Prophet of God or his heir bowing down to any queen or king of this World?

The same British who robbed the Indians of their wealth and who shoved the South Africans into danger and looted their wealth.

So, the Bab wanted to have his shrine located in Israel, as Jerusalem would challenge the Jewish folks but by being in the Holy Land, he wanted to get additional browny points perhaps.

Ultimately why do we need one more religion to claim that all religions are okay alright?
