I suppose I am unclear in what you are asking. Although, purely as a matter of faith, I highly doubt whether such persecutions of Muslims would ever occur in a hypothetical Baha'i society, as a sociologist, I do not see how there can be any basis for even speculating on it.

Responding to your question would require a detailed understanding of the social conditions in a future society. However, futurists, including those who have published for the World Future Society, have a less than impressive (actually pretty miserable) record in such forecasting. For that reason, futurism has always remained on the peripheries of American academia.
