Why are the Baha'is in Iran persecuted so much, and what do Baha'is believe in?
442813
The Baha'is are prosecuted in Iran because the Muslim Clergy and the religious leaders claim that Bahá’u’lláh is a false prophet and the regilion He founded is also false. \n\nEach individual is responsible to decern truth for his or her self.  And to acertain the truth of the Baha'i Faith, one must read the revealation of Bahá’u’lláh written in His own hands and stamped with His own seal.  Once you've read the wiitings then one must ask him or her self does this make sense or not? Search your heart and your mind and make your decision or you may  want to study more and seek out other writings for or against the Faith.  You may also want to talk to others, Baha'is or other people from other religion.\n\nIts up to you to decide what you want to believe or not.  God's creations and plans move on independent of any of His creatures. The progresses made in creation are done inspite of opposition, believers and non believers.  The ever-advancing civilization marches on and on...  \n\nSeek and you will find...

By Persian I assume you mean Iranians? It is difficult when the state controls everything and dissidents are imprisoned. Hopefully they will, their leader is a genuine psycho.

Most of them are 'Twelvers.' They are the dominant Shiite faction in Iran and Iraq. The others factions exist but are not a force to reckon with.\nThey are known as 'Twelvers' as they believe in the return of the twelvth imam, or Imam Mahdi as he is known. They believe he entered a well and is still alive in a state of occultation. He will return during the end times and rule the world in its final days just before the day of judgement.

Because Iran is a country full of nuts and loose cannon's. Any psycho nuts that can twist the beautiful writings of Allah  to mean lets murder everyone, who is not like us ,or does not share our beliefs, do not deserve the trust of responsibility of Nuclear power. In other words, they can not be trusted, to do the right thing.  For those in U.S. that do not get it, it would be as if all the Baptist wanted all the Catholics dead, who wanted the the, Lutherans dead, who wanted they Methodist dead,  etc etc etc....for no other reason than being different..so much killing that the people   do not remember the reasons, it is tit for tat,   it is as stupid a concept as your question.

Iran is an evil theocracy. The iranian government is attempting to make nukes to use on the United States.

As I've said many times, I feel sincere fear and pity for the Persian people. (I know Iran is populated with many different races, but I just like to write the word Persian).\n\nIt's my understanding that a substantial number of the Iranian populace wishes to be free from the murderous, semi-psychotic Mullahs, and that certifiable former mayor of Tehran, Ahmadinijad.\n\n\nI pray that military intervention isn't necessary; additionally, I hope that the Iranian people themselves depose of the Theocratic Rulers.\n\nHU, and Putin, since Saddam's demise, have turned to Iran as their shared cash-cow. The money Russia and China lost due to Saddam's capture, has been replaced by doing business with Ahmadinijad. Weaponry and technical support, along with oil and natural gas, seem to be the binding links keeping these countries in a like frame of mind.\n\nFrance is just doing what they have always done--  looking out for their own interest. Chirac and Villapan (spelling) don't seem to give a damn about the Iranian people, or the rest of the world for that matter.\n\nThey too lost a lot of business when Saddam fell.\n\nThat leaves America, England, Germany and Australia.\n\nAs I said, I pray military steps are not required to solve this growing dilemma.

This is one of the things that is such as problem. Israel and Iran and other countries primarily get their material from within their boarders so they dont have anyrestrictions, this is one of the reasons that the United States is so scared about theocracies such as Iran could do to us.

According to Iranian law Zoroastrians, Jews and Christians are the only recognized religious minorities in Iran but that is so very often violated especially in the case of Christians and Jews.

I have known Iranians in the past. They were all very nice and good people who became terribly upset when the Shah was deposed and the ayatollah came to power. One was in the US on a student visa and he was afraid the mad mullahs would either imprison him or force him into their war against Iraq if he ever returned.\n\nThe people of Iran deserve much better than the tyranny of the jihadists and false preachers they are currently suffering under.

I heard it was for arming them so they could alleviate or stop the tyrannical oppressions that Iran did, and is now still trying to, impose upon them.  Why are some of you people so anti-freedom until you start screaming for your rights, that were fought, for to protect?  Sounds like very contradictory and skewed logic to me.

Isreal being attacked is one of the signs of the apocalypse according to the bible.  If it is just Iran it doesn't fit though, it's supposed to be most of the world and on top of that the anti-christ must make his appearance and declare himself God before that happens...

Well, unless you have already made up your mind that its a plot of the "Capitalists and Jews".... Here is whats happening and the information is there should you wish to prove what I say is correct.\n\nWe, meaning anyone who doesn't as the Islamists put it "accept the Prophet" are VERY close to a "holy war" with Islam, at least the radical militant sects.  If you wish to research it, the militant Islamists such as the Wahabbists don't try to hide the fact that their goal is to re-institute the Islamic Caliphate rule over the civilized world which means they will have to destroy the Western idea of society and personal freedom such as choice of worship.  The fact that they will have to destroy hundreds of thousands, more like millions of lives is of no concequence since we are "infidels" and don't count and any of their guys that are killed are instant martyrs.\n\nPLEASE keep that fact in mind when you consider the scenario of a nuke in the hands of the ruling Mullas in Iran and that the present president of Iran is one of these extremists. Scare you?  It does me.\n\nAnyhoo... They don't mind telling anyone that "Islam is the answer" and the only way to bliss and happiness on earth is for Islamic law to be the ONLY law, anywhere.  Try this for a nightmare.... The Taliban on methamphetimines, in total control of everything, everywhere, my town, your town.  Be advised... their interpretation of the Islamic law does NOT tolerate ANY deviation from what the Mullas and Clerics say it is, they ARE the law and can change it to suit their purpose at anytime if you cross them in any way.\n\nWar, yes,  very near to it but not because of the predident or the jews or even cartoons of the prophet in some Danish newspaper.  It's because of some bearded old crack heads sucking on their hooka pipes with their turbans wrapped to tight sitting in their Madrass schools warping the minds of little Muslim boys and interpreting the Koran to suit their own delusions of grandure.  Hope that helps.
