What crime have the Bahá’ís committed? The crime of not being Twelver Shia.
“Update: 6 Bahá’í homes destroyed and 20 hectares of land confiscated by Iranian government agents,” Bahá’í World News Service, August 3, 2022:
BIC GENEVA — Some 200 Iranian government agents destroyed six homes and confiscated over 20 hectares of land belonging to Bahá’ís in the village of Roushankouh, in Mazandaran province, the News Service has learned.
The government agents used pepper spray to disperse people and gunshots were heard during the operation.
This latest move follows weeks of intensifying persecution of the Baháʼís: over 100 have been either raided or arrested in recent days and dozens others have been targeted since June….

The peaceful Bahá’í promotes interfaith harmony and world peace. So why to the mullahs hate Bahá’ís so much?
They say Mohammed was not the final prophet. That is not unique, because 80% of ALL humans disbelieve the prophecy of Mohammed.

“The peaceful Bahá’í promotes interfaith harmony and world peace. So why do the mullahs hate Bahá’ís so much?”
–His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh has greatly strengthened the cause of women, and the rights and privileges of women is one of the greatest principles of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Rest ye assured! Erelong the days shall come when the men addressing the women, shall say: “Blessed are ye! Blessed are ye! Verily ye are worthy of every gift. Verily ye deserve to adorn your heads with the crown of everlasting glory, because in sciences and arts, in virtues and perfections ye shall become equal to man, and as regards tenderness of heart and the abundance of mercy and sympathy ye are superior.”–
The Baha’i religion declares women to be equal to men in everything including inheritance. This unseats Muslim men from control over women. They will say that the Baha’i are apostates, deserving death, because the Quran specifically assigns women to an inferior role. That is the excuse they will give while the reality is, they like controlling and being served by women in semi-slavery and sex roles without recourse.
In the orthodox Muslim home, the man is King, literally. Some new thing, claiming a new prophet, equality for women, and saying “be peaceful” comes along and wants to change that.
Imagine Iran with a peaceful army and women running the show. The Mullahs want men who will die for Allah without asking, why? And the men like their exalted position in the family. The Baha’i in Iran are like a fly trying to enter a mindless beehive. The results are tragic.

Because promoting interfaith harmony and world peace are Un-Islamic.

The Bahai faith founder had great inspiration from Hinduism and its scriptures. That’s why bahai considers all religions as paths to god. He didn’t take the take the route of Abrahamic faiths but instead took the path of eastern religions and tried to unite both paths. Too bad had this religion taken over the middle east. Maybe it would have benefited humanity. Yet you don’t see such faith to be protected and supproted by lelftists who claim to be human rights activists.

This does not surprise me, sadly. The Baha’i are regularly oppressed and persecuted in Iran. Despite having originated in Iran, their world headquarters is in Israel.
