They have been the object of a sustained hate-campaign sponsored by the government, and also by anti-Baha'i organisations, and they are themselves censored so that people find it difficult to learn the truth about the Baha'is.

Anti-Baha'ism is to Iranian politics what anti-semitism was to French, Italian and German politics in the 1930s. Recently, anti-Baha'ism and anti-semitism have been fused, as it is increasingly claimed that Baha'is are "really" Jews (which is not true of course, Baha'is are not Jews, but Baha'is do condemn anti-semitism).

Where did the faith originate?

The Bahai Faith originated in Iran in the 19th century. Its founder, Baha'u'llah, was exiled to Baghdad, then to Istanbul, to Edirne (in Turkey) and finally to Akka in Israel. Akka was used by the Ottomans as a prison city, like Botany Bay in the early days of Australian colonisation. Baha'u'llah died there in 1892. Because of this history, the Bahai faith has its holy places in Iran, in Iraq, in Turkey and in Israel Sen McGlinn
