205 Questions
Are Muslims friends or foes of people in the bahai religion?
Muslims are the enemy of none, as the religion teaches peace itself. The only fact is that they promote there religious knowledge to non muslims, all arround the world.
ANSWER 2:
While individual Muslims might consider themselves the enemies of none, Baha'is are considered to be apostates from Islam (inaccurate) and, therefore, are persecuted in certain Islamic countries (see link). More than 10,000 Baha'is have lost their lives for their beliefs. At this writing, seven Baha'is have languished in an Iranian prison for more than a year while awaiting trial for being members of the Baha'i Faith. In the 1980's ten young women aged 17-35 were hung in Iran for not recanting the Baha'i Faith in acceptance of Islam. Baha'i cemetaries have been desecrated/excavated, Baha'i holy places demolished, higher education denied, businesses closed, and government ID's withheld (without which, passports aren't granted and certificates not issued for marriages/births/deaths, etc.).

What is the bahai population in Maine?

How many followers does baha'i have?
It is hard to give exact figures here. The site Adherents.com (linked below) tracks tendencies in religious affiliation; as of February 2011, it indicated 7 million Bahá'ís worldwide. However, this site also emphasizes that it is hard to give precise figures, for different reasons.
ANSWER 2:
There are certain Muslim countries where Baha'is are persecuted, so their number of followers aren't recorded. In Iran, for instance, the Baha'i Faith is the largest minority religion but the number isn't confirmed. 7+ million is an estimated number of Baha'is worldwide. Unlike most other religions, however, the Baha'i Faith does not include children (who must eventually decide their own path to God) in the rolls. It could be viewed that, if this were so, the number of estimated Baha'is would easily rise to nearer 20 million in the short span of 167 years since its beginnings.

Why is nine an important number for the baha'i faith?

The Baha'i Faith is persecuted wherever there are people who do not want others to believe different than they do. Most generally such persecution occurs in countries dominated by Muslims who do not want to consider the possibility that Muhammad might not have been the last Messenger of God. Baha'is have also been persecuted in totalitarian regimes such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union as competition for government control of people's minds. Baha'is were persecuted in Uganda under Idi Amin for whatever reason he had. Some Christians have not been welcoming to Baha'is for they see Baha'is as competition and do not want to consider the possibility that Baha'u'llah could be the return of Christ.

Why don't bahai teach in Israel?
The rule goes back to the time of Baha'u'llah, and was confirmed by Abdu'l-Baha. I've read two or three passages from Baha'u'llah in Persian, forbidding teaching in "Sham" (the Ottoman province of Syria which includes present-day Israel and Palestinian territories). However I don't get a clear reason for the prohibition from the quotes. I don't think anyone understands it - we obey because Baha'u'llah said so. It seems to be a permanent rule, only the boundaries of the area around the Baha'i World Centre where there is no Baha'i teaching activity have changed, as governments have come and gone.
