The separation of religion from politics in Islam is not so clear. Dear Firouz,
I don't really see any clear distinction between religion and politics in the Baha'i Teachings either accept that matters of legislation rest with our elected Assemblies, not the Learned. Abdu'l-Baha insisted that the clergy should be separate from the state, but Baha'u'llah placed political affairs (amr siyast) in the hands of the House of Justice. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
