Baha'i Holy Goat

I have explained before that base on Baha’i belief God and Baba-Allah are identical twins. Do not forget, He is God, God himself, and God is him, he himself, the only different is that the God is God and Baba-Allah is Baba-Allah. And since we all know that Baha’is are responsible to find the truth themselves (کشف حقیقت). I have decided to great two identical images with minor different. Try to find the differences.  By this practice you can improve your skills to distinguish between Baba-Allah and God. Have fun

My physician is a cute little Egyptian lady. In addition to be my family physician, she is my good friends, I see her randomly in the ball room dancing club or the cozy bar next to her office. In my last visit, referring to ( p.66-67 GLEANINGS from the writings of BahaAllah) I asked her, 

“How can I be you, you yourself, and you be I, I myself, except that I am what I am, and you are what you are”

She gave me a naughty smile and said: ”The only way that two entity be the same but different base on biology science is the two entity be identical twins”

I thought a little and realized that it does completely make sense. This sentence can only and only be true if BahaAllah is the identical Twin of God.

I was reading Baha’i prayers last night, surprisingly majority of the prayers are addressing Abolbaha, not even BahaAllah or God. Even the prayers that has put together during Abolbaha’s time, directly address him as a rescuer and savior. I did a little of research to see why Baha’is who claim they have the most modern religion still stock with the name and the individual. And the following are my discovery.

Baha’is in contrast with traditional religions do not believe in a path to God. The only pass is the happiness of Abolbaha and his successors, Garfield Castle (house of Justice).

Although Baha’is believe in:

“There is none other God but Thee, the Inaccessible, the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, the Holy of Holies.”( Bahá’u'lláh Gleanings) 

They completely block the way to discover that God. The relation between Baha’is and God has to go through Abolbaha because the real god is inaccessible. In other writing Ablbaha has even forbidden to search or try to understand God.

THE WAY IS CLOSED AND SEEKING IS FORBIDDEN. (Abdul Baha Questions pg. 169 )

And that is more astonishing to read BahaAllan boldly called himself God:

“Manifold and mysterious is My relationship with God I am He, Him himself, and He is I, Myself, except that I am that I am and He is that he is.” ( p.66-67 GLEANINGS FROM THE WRITINGS OF BAHA’U'LLA’H)

 Maybe that is the reason Baha’is like Christian pray and Worship the son of God. And the only remaining question is that “Are Baha’is worshipping God or son of their God (Abolbaha)”

Iranian culture like many other Iranian elements has faced various storms and war in the past 5000 year. Iranian culture survives the bloody wound of Islam, Turks, Alexander, and many other enemies and remain one of the pure and strongest cultures that any Iranian should be proud of. In addition to music, art, poetry, architecture, Iranian culture has one other unique element that separates and distinguishes this old culture among the others, the calendar.

There are only handfuls of calendars exist and one of them belongs to Iranian. Iranian calendar starts with the beginning of the spring and contains 12 months. The first day of Iranian year is known as Nourooz (نوروز) which follows by 13 days of feast and celebration. Each month is ornamented with a beautiful Iranian name. This unique calendar has been undeniable part of Iranian culture and no inside or invader power has been able to change or alter it.  

In past 150 years Baha’ism like many others imported ideas to Iranian society has used Iranian culture as a base to buy legitimately and respect, while wisely attacking the basic elements of Iranian culture.

I had a Baha’i friend who was insisting that you should be proud that Abolbaha rose from Iran. And Baha’ism is the reason that the name of Iran is been widely spread around the world. In the same dialogue, I asked him “Well, what is the calendar of Iranian?”. “We have 19 month and each month have 19 days ….” he responded me. The controversy is so clear that I do not see a reason to explain more.

Baha’is has their own made calendar. And more important of all Abolbaha was so nice to Iranian that after pronouncing the first day of Iranian calendar that happened to be the same day as Baha’is calendar “Day of God” mentioned that this day is the same day that Iranian call it Nourooz. Sounds like we Iranian was waiting for 5000 years that he come back from Titanic trip and designate the name for our new year.

Here is my argument, if you think that you are Baha’i well be it. Do not use our culture as a safe zone and attack it any time was convenient for you.

I have start studying Baha’ism long before I start this WebLog. And it is my first priority to write truth and nothing but truth to educate (1) the non-Baha’i readers who like to know more about the depth of this religion (2) the Baha’is who are hiding from reality and cannot see the truth about this religion.

This WebLog is an educational website and the materials presented, are base on my readings through Baha’i’s documents or my personal experience with this community. The examples used in this WebLog are to elaborate the argument and like any other example cannot and are not designed to represent all members of this community.   

I remember the day that group of Baha’i women were sitting in a restaurant with bunch of old American ladies. One Baha’i woman with broken English started talking about the movie “Never without my daughter”. She was explaining the scene of the movie that an Iranian family were eating fresh vegetable like a GOAT. When I asked the Baha’i lady “have you or any of your relative ate like a GOAT by shoving it down your throat?”. She proudly responded “No I born and grow up in Baha’i family, and we are different”.

You might argue she is not presenting Baha’i community, but I argue back that she is one of many Baha’is who think and behave this way .

The other reason that I decided to publish my notes was (1) I felt the responsibility to deliver the truth especially to the Baha’i community that afraid of hearing the truth (2) Uncover the true face of religion in general by illustrating the pain and suffer that human been encounter because of it, (3) and most important of all, I was tired of explaining and passing my point of view verbally to the individuals.

As a final word, if my postings are different than what you think, you should (1) stop reading my WebLog (2) give my thought a second chance and think about them, they may make scene on a second round, or (3) nicely write me back with the prove that why do you think I am wrong.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

During the last night argument Baha’i community accused me of plagiarism. You can call it what ever you like but here is the exact phrase form the website for the people who does like to know the truth.

86. Should anyone intentionally destroy a house by fire, him also shall ye burn; should anyone deliberately take another’s life, him also shall ye put to death. # 62

I was invited to a Baha’i party last weekend. The food was great and we were having fun till the host of the party started reading random sentences from a book “Sexuality in Islam” (قوه باه). This book, Sexuality in Islam, is an honest gathering from all the Islamic documents that contains the meaning of sexuality, sexual relation, and even the sexual desires of Mohammad. This book was published in Iran after the revolution and its content has been approved by many Iranian officials and religion authorities.

We were laughing loud and having fun until I mentioned “Islam like any other religion is full of crap, and if you look deep in the Baha’i book you will find nothing but historical jokes like that”. This comment has faced a serious feedback. To elaborate my point, I mentioned “Ketabe Aghdas (کتاب اقدس) said if someone burned your house you should burn himself to death”.

That sentence ended the joy of the party. All I remember was the Baha’i army who were fighting me to prove no such a thing existed in their book. I asked for the Ketabe Aghdas several times; however my requests were rejected with louder argument. Finally someone took responsibility to go online and check for the accuracy of this fact. And believe it or not, I was right.

When the English version of the book revealed that, you can burn a person alive to death if he burns your house, they challenged me to check into the Arabic version. And sadly this strategy did not take them too far. They relentlessly argued at each other for the next two hours on how to translate the Arabic version and how to interoperate it properly to not to make it look better. Meanwhile other friends and I were laughing at them while drinking tea.

They are the group who didn’t go to school for their religion, they consider themselves patriotic, but they do not know the content of a 60-page book of Ketabe Aghadas.

But I learned one thing that night. If you understand the true meaning of their book and say it loud, you might be in trouble.

Group of friends and I were sitting in a bar last week in Bourbon street when I met Parham. Like any Iranian gathering the standard topic of the dialog was politics and the next coming election. I find Parham a smart and knowledge person who was carrying an intellectual argument on why he is going to vote McCain. Although Parham and I were the only Republican (May Jamale Mobarak(جمال مبارک) help him to win), I found something more interesting in him that made me write this post. He mentioned several time “before he get rejected(ترد), we used to … ”.

I have heard many stories about Baha’is and how the Baha’i community tries to impose their way of life to the other followers of this religion, but Parham’s story was unique in its own way. He was between the first groups of Baha’i refugees who made it to US, and he is a citizen of Unite State. Since then he has been an active and respected member of the local Baha’i community. He was responsible for many events and paperwork in past years. He even mentioned that he use to read the marriage vow for many of his close friends in the same Baha’i center.

But those glory days vanished when he found his soul mate Sara in Iran. I am not sure about the details and reasons behind this conflict, but apparently Baha’i community gets credit for each Baha’i refugee and UN pays significant amount of money to the organization that takes care of the legal procedure. Disregarding that, Parham decided to use his legal rights as an American citizen to bring his wife to US. His main intention was to avoid the stamp of being refugee on her forehead for the rest of her life. But his decision had harsh and unreasonable consequences from their Baha’i center.   

The argument between the spiritual leaders of Baha’i center who want to bring Sara to Us as a refugee and Parham got to the point that not only he decided to stop attending the Baha’i center, but also they decided not to have a Baha’i wedding ceremony. He added while Sara had a smile as cold as the Heineken that she was drinking on her face, “since that incident the topics of all the virtues classes (ضیافت) and adult deepening events are nothing but the advantages of wedding, sacred of wedding, and the affects of premarital sex on human soul and spirituality”. He said every 19 days they put Sara and I on a pedestal and run their mouth as much as their can without considering the damage of their action on our small and young family.

I generally have some comment when I face this kind of situation, but this time, when I looked at Sara’s eyes, I realize the best thing I can do is keeping my silence. Dear Parham, I do pronounce you and your beautiful lady, husband and wife, and wish you the best, and let Jamale Mobarak (جمال مبارک)think whatever he wants.  

Here is my translation from the Arabic version of Ketabe Aghdas.

 Sec 57: “Follow the Sonat [that mean culture but my Palestinian translator believe he is attacking Soni’s], but not the old people, and not the ignorant. God wrote that you should get married, do not you ever think about going over two women [wives]. And if the guy is satisfied [with one], it is better for you and her.”

 By that there is no more argument has left that polygamy is legal in Baha’ism up to two wives. My only question is how come Baha-aalah had 3 wives.
