MUSLIM TERRORISTS ARE ATTACKING THE BAHAI'I FAITH, LIKE THE SUFIS
BAHAI'ISM IS A VERY LOVING, GENTLE THING
I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO BE RAISED IN A TOWN THAT IS THE AMERICAN HQ OF THE BAHAI'I MOVEMENT IN THE USA ( BUT NOT BEING A MEMBER MYSELF)
I NOTICED THIS PICTURE ON FACEBOOK POSTED BY AN OLD FRIEND
WE ARE SO LUCKY TO LIVE IN A LAND OF TOLERANCE AND THE DESIRE FOR TRUE EQUALITY
“Let your vision be world embracing…” — Bahá’u’lláh
Throughout history, God has sent to humanity a series of divine Educators—known as Manifestations of God—whose teachings have provided the basis for the advancement of civilization. These Manifestations have included Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Bahá’u’lláh, the latest of these Messengers, explained that the religions of the world come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God.
Bahá'ís believe the crucial need facing humanity is to find a unifying vision of the future of society and of the nature and purpose of life. Such a vision unfolds in the writings of Bahá'u'lláh.
