The Minorities Report : The Bahais

Yesterday the Egyptian Court made a historical verdict in the favor of the Bahai "Religion" followers in Egypt in Specific and the all the followers of the religions and sect other than the official divine religions {Islam,Christanity and Judism}
First Check the in Filbalad.com
Second ,What is the Bahai religion?
You can check here and there
or you can complete reading this tiny blog post
Bahai was first a sect from the Islam , founded by Bahaullah , a Noble Man from Tehran in Iran in the 19th Century , Just like the other sects in Islam especially the 12th group ,Bahaism is somehow influenced by the different civilisation and religions , They believe in one God and that God revealed himself to the people of the world through his messengers who include the following "Look to the names" : Ibraham "Ibrahim, the father of all divine Messengers,Krishna of<em> India Hundu faith</em>, Zoroaster Persia Zarathushtra fire worshiping religion , Moses , Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad No need to explain the last four names as they are the messengers of the four main religions in the world now , so you see it is a combining cult or a religion , Bahaullah claimed that all of those names were manifestation of God and he himself was a manifest to the Lord on Earth. They claim to have 5 million followers in the world and that they are the most spread religion now ,I don't much about these rituals ,customs and traditions and so on.
What is interesting that their holy places are in Haifa/Akka in Isreal,former Palestine ,it is a complex shrine as I understand contains the bodies of their holy founders Bahuallha "He was in Iran ,what brought him to Haifa I don't know", the Bab and Abdul baha and for that reason since the sixities the Egyptian regime cancelled and prohibited all their activities in Egypt in year 1960 as it considered their Bahai world center where its followers should pilgrim to be in Isreal and so it could threat the Egyptian National Security
It was at the same time of Judas Witnesses famous case in Egypt , the Bahai got fame in Egypt after their arresting in 1960 especially the list of Bahais names contained a great artist in Egypt that is Bikar , already I remember my late grand father once told me about him that he was n't a muslim like the rest of us and that his religious believes are somehow strange as they worked together in Akhbar El-youm and Akhar Saa weekly magazine in its golden age ,I didn't understand then and he didn't explain more but now I understand
Also there is a famous Bahaai who all the world followed his news and his death "which became of the engimas of the Iraq war ,that's professor Kelly ,do you remember him !?
Anyway back to the Bahaai Minority conditions in Egypt
as you understand the regime thinks that they are danger on the national security as their religious holy place in Isreal "Not all the regime after all we got a Minister whose mother is Jew and we got excellent relations with the hebrew nation , yet when we speak about National security we are talking about other boards than the NDP and the Cabinet , we are talking about a silent very tall man whom I want to speak about his role in the minorities report again and again"
Also the Muslim community , the religious restrictive section in it doesn't like it as it consider it a movement against Islam , not Muslim cult as infidel muslim for their founder claimed the prophecy .
already they are not muslim and there is a great misconception between them , many think that they are from the Shiia 12 group while as you see they are shiia or muslim at all , I read that nosene in the MSN Space of some American Muslim young man who got this wrong information about the Islamic Cults
Now back to the historical verdict that opens the paradise door for Minorities not only The Bahais but others too and opens a hell door for religious Muslim and security
A Bahai couple in Egypt got a bad problem that for two years they couldn't registered themselves and their kids as Bahais ,the government presented in the interior minister and civilian registry ordered them to register themselves as Muslims if they want to have an identity in this country !!!!With this verdict that is already depends on the chapter in the Egyptian constitution that says that the Freedom of Belief is a right for Every Egyptian you can know see the word Bahai in their id and passport for the first time
My opinion , I will tell about it tomorrow ,that is enough for now I want to read Mubarak's interview with Gizelle Khoury and yes the minorities report is opened once again

  1. Baha'u'llah was exiled to Palestine when that was part of the Ottoman Empire.

    Unfortunately, baha'is are commonly vitims of prejudice by muslims. I am happy that you support that they have the same rights as any other Egyptian citizen.
