Bahaismiran:

On the occasion of centennial anniversary of Abdul Baha’s death, the foundation of the universal house of justice has spoken about his advice for devotion to Iranian people. However, Abdul Baha had considered loyalty is an action done by dogs. How is it possible for him to become the herald of love of Iran!

In a part of Nowrouz message of 1400, the foundation of the universal house of justice points out the centennial anniversary of Abdul Baha’s death in the current year and writes: “… Therefore, through expansion of the divine teachings and encouragement to apply the insights they contain in order to remedy the problems and deficiencies of society. He addressed the people of that country generally, and the Baha’is specifically, counselling, advising and urging them to sacrifice themselves in service to that sacred land, and repeatedly and emphatically assuring everyone of the bright future of Iran…[1]

However, advising to devotion for Iran by Abdul Baha has the following notes:

1)   Contrary to the Baha’is claims, not only Abdul Baha didn’t believe in devotion for homeland; but also he had liken them defenders of homeland as the rapacious dogs:

 

لیس الفخر لمن یحب الوطن بل الفخر لمن یحب العالم

“God has created the creatures in one earth and accommodated them in it; but the people and nations of the world divided it like dogs…[2]

 

2)   Abdul Baha was considering the devotion for homeland as inopportune and considered the Baha’is as superior. Abdul Baha was saying: “A Baha’i negro slave is better than a non-Baha’i nymph.” He has also said: “A bad disciple is better than a good stranger[3].”

3)   Abdul Baha considered the Iranians as devotees of England: “The Iranian people are so happy for my arrival here. My arrival causes friendship between Iran and England to such an extent that the Iranian people will be sacrificed for England.[4]

Abdul Baha has also said to American people: “… There is no country for the Americans better than Iran to transact! Because the wealth of Iran has been buried under the ground.[5]

Nowadays; without any blood-vessel of being Iranian, the Baha’i organization is following conviction and sanction of Iran and Iranian people following their leaders!
