Re: My people are hydroponic

Gilberto, 

 

???

 

There are more Baha'is in countries where Baha'u'llah never went to than there are Baha'is in countries He was exiled to.

 

Secondly, Baha'u'llah taught that one is a World Citizen first, and that patriotism is subservient to it.

 

India, African, the Americas, for example, make up more than 80% of Baha'is.  There are maybe a couple thousand Baha'is in all the Arab countries combined.  They are all underground because it is illegal in most of them.

 

Also, Iranians are not Arabs.  Iranians have an Indo-European language (Persian) and are descended from Russia and Eastern Europe.  Persian Language is related to English, German and some Indian languages.

 

Iran still does have a sizable Baha'i community, but here are the top countries with Baha'i populations:

 

India

Iran

USA

Viet Nam

Kenya

Bolivia

Uganda

It would depend on the Bahai. But I would say Bahaullah was definitely
from Persia for many generations and if you wanted to go wider then
he's from the Middle East. That's still fairly rooted in soil.

Peace
