128 Bahai’i Students Expelled from Universities

Kamangir | September 1, 2007 | Category Human Rights, Iran, Islam, Islamic Republic

This is from the state-run newspaper Kayhan [Persian],

They Must be Expelled 

Radio Farda has quoted the International Bahai’i Society that “Government of Iran has expelled 128 Bahai’i students from universities”. Although, this news is not verified by the administration, and we don’t know whether or not it is correct, the expulsion of those who have openly confessed to their membership in the Zionist party of Bai’ism is the indisputable responsibility of the higher education administration. If they have failed in fulfilling this national and religious duty, they should be blamed.

    How are they Zionists, please? Is it because of the temple they have in Haifa? Or is it just a combination of
    not shouting Death to Israel
    and being one of many ‘unfavorable’ minorities in Iran?

    Bahai people are zionists? What the hell!!! It seems that some day soon some Catholic people will also be called zionists by IRI. After all Jesus has been born as a jew ;-)

    How can Bahai’i be Zionists, exactly? Is it because they have a temple in Haifa? Is it because they don’t shout Death to Israel? Or is it simply because they’re a religious minority living in a theocratic regime?

    Damn, my bad on the double-comment.

    Kamangir: No Roman, it is Wordpress’s fault. For some reason the first one was moved to the spam folder.

    Yeah, I remember not seeing the Comment Moderation message, so I got worried. I have no luck whatsoever with spam filtering, by the way. Many of my comments end up filed as spam, as do some important emails. Must be a Jewish conspiracy.

    Kamangir: You mean an anti-Jewish conspiracy, right? ;)

    Nah, we conspire against anyone, ourselves included. ;-)

    This article might explain things a bit:

    I also think Bahai religion is a close as one can get to a Reformation process that Islam eventually needs to deal with as did Christianity and Judism; hence, fierce opposition to it by the hardliners.

    lol, Serendip, that article was hilarious. In a sad way, true, but still hilarious.
