Not from you, but I've often had the impression that many Bahais are pretty much about as anti-Islamic except they try to me alot nicer and more polite about their beliefs. > Baha'u'llah invites us [with all due respect to Pascal > and his reasons of > the heart] that we do not allow our reasons of heart > distort the truth or > the search for the truth. But I would be surprised if you meant what comes to my mind when I read that. In my experience, Christianity is a very emotional religion and Islam is more serene, more rational. And I have the sense that Bahais fall somewhere in between.
