So did the Bahaiians do this? Doubtful, but they’ll probably get framed for it, and cracked down on, too.

It is said that the main difference between fires in a Mosque and in a Christian Church are the secondary explosions in the Mosque.

Probably get framed is right, but they aarent the kind of ideology that would do such a thing. I tHink of them as buddhists with a god.

Very interesting. Thanks for the ping. So far, no one is claiming responsibility. It would be interesting to know who did it and what was their motivation.

Have you ever read about anything going boom in Iran? I havent.
I know that it wasn't a "boom", but I do recall a fire at an Iranian military facility last year. This, however, is a rather obvious attack and the questions remain: who did it and what was the objective?

Iran is a more diverse country than most westerners realize. This could be an ethnic issue. The Ahvazi Arabs had a short lived bombing campaign a few years ago.

Perhaps someone tossed a lit cigar into a pile of rockets stored behind the cleric’s podium.

Probably a gov't operation to eliminate a dissenting cleric. That's just my uneducated guess though.
Here's someone who would make a nice stain on a Mosque ceiling:

Not likely. The Baha’is I know are totally committed to pacifism, like the Quakers.

That seems to be the most believable account(s).

Interesting article...thanks
To: txflake; All
Sad to say, because I know and in the past knew some very decent Bahais, the Bahai religion is a totally artificial one created by the British to divide the clergy in Iran back in the 19th Century, who had begun to join together against the British.
No longer classified documents from the British Foreign Office include letters from their equivalent of our State Dept. to the British Ambassador in Iran with instructions to find someone to (simplistically) claim to be the 12th Imam and as such split the Mullahs and “divide and rule”.
The instructions also suggested that “followers” should be rewarded with cash amounts and this has become an embedded part of joining the Bahai faith.
(I witnessed others and was offered this inducement myself but turned it down since I had no intention to become a Bahai)
There are lots of other somewhat unsual aspects as to how close a family member you can marry and various efforts to “modernize” Islam (the greatest reason for being considered as apostates by traditional Moslems) but I am not here to criticize the Bahai faith. Only to underline that it was not a religion of “faith” but created for political reasons by the British.
The Bahai followers have their religious and “legal” councils to whom they turn to resolve matrimonial, family and social matters and are generally tightly knit into their communities.
IMHO If it works for them to become better human beings, then why criticize it? We cannot all reach the perfection
of Jesus and even there, how often have you noticed people insist “my Jesus is better than your Jesus”?
I get it all the time.
