Stephen:
Actually the stories I've read of Baha'i Administration in action
rivals North Korea, Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and other such places in
terms of totalitarianism.
Stephen, I come from a family of refugees from Eastern Europe some of whom
survived Hitler and Stalin. You haven't got a blessed clue of what you're
talking about with this comparison. I suggest you get off Wikipedia and read
some serious history books. I will be happy to provide you with a reading
list to cure your lamentable ignorance.
Which of the following techniques has the Baha'i Faith used?
1) physical violence, murder and maiming, physical torture: teeth pulling
(no novacaine); testicle crushing; nipple ripping; dental work (no
novacaine); anal rape with truncheons; fingernail pulling; eye gouging;
electrodes to genitalia . . to name just a few.
2) midnight arrests (actually 2 a.m. was the usual time under Stalin)
3) slave labor camps whose only purpose is working people to death in
horrrible ways. Kolyma is the Soviet Auschwitz.
4) family arrests and also friends and acquaintances; disappearances;
5) spies within families (easier to do than you think); schools, work
places, churches (including priests); hospitals, etc. Some of these spy
reports are husband spying on wife and vice versa; parents on children and
vice versa; friends on each other; school teachers on students in and out of
school;
The Baha'i Faith "rivals" these indeed! If such ignorance wasn't so tragic,
it would be funny.
