Description

A CHARACTERISTIC of the Baha’i leaders is dishonesty in dealing with their religious history. This sometimes takes the form of the suppression and concealment of documents, sometimes of the omission or perversion of essential facts or their presentation in such a way as to falsify history. In the writing of political history and in scheming for the triumph of a political party, we may expect crookedness in dealing with facts, but in the propagating of a new religion designed to supersede Christianity and Islam, and purporting to be an improvement on them, we do not expect to find dishonesty and misrepresentation. Yet this is exactly what we find, namely, " a readiness to ignore or suppress facts, writings or views (undoubted historical), which they regard as useless or hurtful to their aims."
