I found a very nice site on this regard. www.mybahaifaith.blogspot.comsaalim b.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16607511.post-27657432892481712682008-06-12T13:59:00.000-03:002008-06-12T13:59:00.000-03:00Hi Phillipe. Just found this video which comments on the situation of Baha'is in Iran through a satire of media reports, recalling the words of Martin Luther King and others... Thought you would find interesting. <BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U16NklH3kPMsayyidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16607511.post-62765251154968263232008-05-28T19:29:00.000-03:002008-05-28T19:29:00.000-03:00Barney, I know exactly what you are saying.<BR/><BR/>SMK-some people apparently need to "get a life" as the saying goes. Surely there are better things that need to be done in Iran than bullying Baha'is!Phillipe Copelandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18342490962831946701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16607511.post-2068009496606788752008-05-28T17:40:00.000-03:002008-05-28T17:40:00.000-03:00Indeed - <A HREF="http://www.asianews.it/index.php?l=en&art=12366&size=A" REL="nofollow">more news</A> - "the Fars news agency reported the creation of a new organisation to fight the supposedly heretical religious group which has been persecuted since the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and this despite claims by the Iranian government that all Iranians are free to profess their faith and enjoy equal rights."...SMKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13268147821220493560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16607511.post-16166583476012967702008-05-28T12:43:00.000-03:002008-05-28T12:43:00.000-03:00I fear that things will get much worse for the Baha'is in Iran before they get better. This whole period feels to me like the gathering of a storm - as the title of your post suggests, Phillipe. Every day I wait for the message to come from the Bahá'í World Centre or the Bahá'í International Community UN offices to say that the very thing we are all dreading has happened.<BR/><BR/>The amount of instant and wholehearted support from a wide range of leading figures, following the arrest of the Friends in Iran, has been remarkable. If/when the worst happens, I've no doubt there will be a storm of outrage by those who love and support the Baha'is.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, as always, my dear bro., for your insightful posts on all topics Baha'i.Barneyhttp://www.leithjb.net/blognoreply@blogger.com
