I found it rather instructive to read the article
at the posted URL below in light of the rather terrifying quotation from Shoghi
Effendi.
"It is this same cancerous materialism, born
originally in Europe, carried to excess in the North American continent,
contaminating the Asiatic peoples and nations, spreading its ominous tentacles
to the borders of Africa, and now invading its very heart, which Bahá'u'lláh in
unequivocal and emphatic language denounced in His Writings, comparing it to a
devouring flame and regarding it as the chief factor in precipitating the dire
ordeals and world-shaking crises that must necessarily involve the burning of
cities and the spread of terror and consternation in the hearts of men."
(Shoghi Effendi, Citadel of Faith, p.
125.
