Although the Bahá'í Faith originated in a Muslim country, it should be considered a separate religion. Bahá'ís have their own founders, their own holy books, and their own laws. Some of those laws are similar to Muslim laws, some not.

Where did the Baha'i worship anywhere?

The Bahai community is very widely spread across the world, but in small numbers. Most local Bahai communities meet in private homes, or in a rented hall or a Bahai centre, and the same places are used for worship meetings and other meetings. However specially dedicated Houses of Worship / Temples / Mashriq'ul-Adhkars (3 names for the same thing) have been built in some places. There are continental Houses of Worship (for example, the North American one in Wilmette, Illinois) and two national ones are about to be built (Congo and Papua New Guinea). Local communities, especially in the third world, may have a small house of worship or Bahai centre built with local resources, and plans for a number of smaller Houses of Worship have recently been announced in Cambodia, India, Kenya, Colombia and Vanuatu. These will be built with help from the Bahais around the world, and will be in permanent materials.

What do you call someone who hates Muslims?

There has never been a strong, but politically correct word for hatred of Moslems and of Islam in English. The current word is Islamophobe, but this word is weak and does not seem to be on the same level of virulence as Anti-Semitism. The word that used to be that strong in Medieval Europe was Anti-Mohammedanism which is currently politically incorrect because Moslems do not worship Mohammed, but worship God though Mohammed's message (as opposed to Christians who worship Christ). Many Moslems today use the word "Racist" even though Islam is not a race and has members across every major ethnicity (including small Latino communities).

What is the name of what you call church for bahai?

It depends what you mean by "church."The "church" in the sense of a building for worship is called the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, which is literally the place where remembance of God goes up: a plain English equivalent would be chantry. Bahais in the west call them houses of worship. There's a wiki article here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27%C3%AD_House_of_WorshipThe "church" in the sense of the community of believers is just called the Bahai Community or Bahai Commonwealth."The Church" in the sense of a the authorities within the community that say what's right and what's not, and what's going to happen, is called the Bahai Administrative Order. There are no priests, the authority is in the hands of elected bodies, from the local to the international level, and there are people appointed for special functions but without any general authority in the community.
