I don't think it's ones religion that makes one intolerant.

If it were then Athiests would be the most tolerant of people. And I'm sure we've all run into non tolerant athiests too.

Bahais claim to be pacifists but history shows that they were loyal to the fascist shah (who was imposed by a Republican financed revolution) and were the majority of his bodyguards.

In canada muslims most of the time are tolerant and follow our rules, cause they want to live here without trouble

In islamic countries muslims are intolerant of you breaking there traditions, but understand that as a foreigner you sometimes just dont know, and its not your fault if you break a tradition

Yes our liberals bend over backwards for them, but there are islamic countries that bend over for the west also

Gopher, before you make such offensive claims against any group, you should be able to back up those claims or at least retract them.

Thanks. Yet another example of how not all Muslims are so intolerant. Again, the professionals referred to in this article are not Baha'is themselves, and I can't immagine that they have anything to gain from standing up in defence of Baha'is. In fact, if anything, they're likely to attract more criticism and ridicule for this. So clearly, contrary to popular opinion it would seem, some Muslims are true Muslims, prepared not just to do good for their fellow man, but even to stick their neck out for him. We need to make the public more aware of these Muslims.

With all the anti-Muslim publicity, it's nice to see that Muslims are getting some positive publicity on CNN. These Muslims should be commended as true role models for the future generation of Muslims.

It isn't that these people are being true Muslims, remember Muhammad killed hundreds of Jews, it is that these people are being human and once again demonstrate that human nature is the origin of morality not religion.

The Bahia Faith is a sect of Islam and seeks to impose a world theocracy. They actually seek world domination. Again, like all religion, it was founded by a lunatic and is filled with the standard insanities, wish thinking and plagiarisms you would expect from such a thing.

It began as a sect of Islam just as the Christian Faith began as a sect of Judaism. And just like the Christian Faith, it's now become an independent religion that requires procelytism of its adherents but prohibits aggressive procelitism, which would suggest that any world domination from this Faith would need to be voluntary on the part of the peoples of the world.

Now just for the sake of argument, even if the Baha'is were a sect, that still wouldn't change the fact that they have a right to freedom from persecution.
And even if Muhammad had killed those Jews unjustly, it still wouldn't change the fact that not all Muslims are fanatics as some Media like to portray.

I've read a number of sacred texts from various world religions, and though some of their social teachings are outdated, they were still progressive in their time.

''Some info for you on the Baha’i faith ''

Local Bahais tried to recruit me to their religion. I had a debate with three of their teachers (one of whom is a distinguished college professor) and if you don't mind the personal boast, I whipped their butts in public.

Look at my links. Don't fret because, as always, I back up what I say.

The Bahia "teachings" are almost all plagiarisms.
