Is this mostly true (if cynical) about the Báhá’í Faith?

Thanks for the explanation, I didnt know it before and was a bit shocked by the way the quoted text described regular islam. ^^

An extreme Ba-Hai won't bomb a pizza restaurant during lunch hour whereas an extreme Muslim might just do that. In fact extreme Muslim have done that.

The next time a bomb goes off on a train or in a crowed place, ask yourself what was the religion of the person who set it off.

It is basically an amalgamation of the arahahmic religion mixed with some of the the other world religions. It is the school of thought that says all religion are basically a continuous message (except if the new prophet says otherwise).

It is the ideal religion if you can't pick a religion, but want a bit of everything.

It is fairly dissimilar from Islam, and beside, it is a pick-n-mix.

Druze are interesting, they are sort of esoteric, mixed with greek philosophy, mixed with policy of assimilation.

Which is why the head of the Druze in Lebanon, switches sides so often, and they sometimes pretend to be Muslims, not to draw attention to themselves.

These religious are basically born out of Isam, as a reaction against it, and they are not new regions. Both were chased around the middle east, because they were at odds with the status quo.

The only Baha'i I've known was sort of a hippy new age type.

The original post is like stumbing upon graffiti that reads "n****rs are to blame for inflicting Jazz Music on America".

And then asking "is that graffitti TRUE'?

In a sense its 'true', but its not quite the way I wouldve put it.

I would have said something like "African American musicians are to credit for inventing jazz music around 1900."

In a general way what I, and the graffitti are saying are the same thing. But they are not the same thing -because in my verison niether blacks nor jazz is disparaged.

The Bahaii Faith is indeed somewhat like Unitarianism, and it kinda is to Islam what Unitarianism is to christianity: a kinda progressive tolerant inclusive religion that is distinct from- but has much of the DNA of-the older religion.

Which is the same thing - but is NOT the same thing- as what it says.

The Bahai Faith was begun, and their Holy Book, the Kitab-I-Aqdas, was written by Baha'ullah, who believed himself to be prophesied of in the Bible and the Koran, and to be the Leader prophesied by a Teacher/Prophet/Martyr known as The Bab.

Baha'ism is one of the most non-violent religions I have ever read about, and the only violence that I can find in their history is the continuing abuses against them, primarily by Shi'ite Muslims who seem to take issue with their reverence for Baha''ullah.

And they are not pleased by the Kitab-I-Aqdas, either.

The Bible says 'By their works ye shall know them'.

Jesus also said that those who did things against His teaching were not 'of Him'.

Researching the history of current religions exposes sickening 'works' by almost all of them.

The only religions I have not found to have unGodly behavior done in their name is Baha'i, Sikhism, the Jains, and Quakerism.

Please add to them if you know of others....I would really like to know about them.

Researching the prophets, messiahs, visionaries who actually began these groups, and who left writings tends to show that MOST of the cruelty was never authorized or instigated in the beginning.

Schneekugel said a wise thing "......they pretend to believe in to hide their personal aggression...".

Well said.

Sikhism? really, Have you not heard about Sikh extremism? Like attacks, bombings, etc. Also they are a pretty martial race, not exactly Jain.

The majority of course are peaceful.
