You also fail to see the self definition of the Baha'i Faith as a new
Divine Revelation, as a new religion and you talks about saints, and
awliyAA, and reformers, etc. Baha'u'llah is none of those. He is the
Founder and Author of a new Divinely ordained religion/Revelation..
This is self definition. You don't address that.
Dear Dr. Hai,
This is the main issue you pointed out. Gilberto and indeed no Muslim
could ever accept that there could be a Messenger after Prophet
Muhammad, and that is why Muslims cannot recognize followers of
Baha'u'llah as People of Book. We see this clearly in Iran and how the
Muslim rulers treat Baha'is. That would be the case in any other country
when the Islamic Shariah is followed. I never believe when Muslims talk
about equality of human beings. For Muslims there are just 2 kinds of
people, believers and non-believers. And Sharia laws clearly state how
non-believers should be treated. The problem for Muslims is that Sunnis
do not considers Shias as Muslims and vice versa. And we well know how
Shias of Iran treat Sunnis and how Sunnis countries treat their Shia
subjects.
If you get some time, please watch the following video. A sunni Imam in
Iran addressing his followers. It is in Persian.
