The Baha'i Studies Listserv Really. What does this look like to you? Let me summarise the impression this post gives.
I think you may be confused on a couple of points. It doesn't make sense that you should single out Muslims on this list. This is hiding behind the Bahais. I would recommend that you look at what the Bahai Faith's teachings are regarding the Quran and the Bible. According to the Bahai Faith, the Quran is the absolutely authentic word of God. And Muhammad is a Manifestation of God. Bahais love Muhammad just as much as Muslims do. In fact Shoghi Effendi taught the Bahais that "The mission of the American Bahá'ís is, no doubt, to eventually establish the truth of Islam in the West." So you should address your challenges to the Bahais (not just the Muslims), and the Bahais will rise to defend Islam. Bahais as a shield. Matts post are similar. Dont you know how to defend your own religion against accusations. Its not the Bahais that are being accused of these things its your religions leaders. I find it a poor choice of stratergy to bring the Bahais into it. Despite this being a Bahai list it was directed at Islam. You should learn how to defend your own religion rather than using us as a shield if that is the religion you really believe to be from God to not have yet been corrupted to still be held sacred and true. Otherwise these are just empty words.
