Some very vocal people simply don't realize that there are indeed proper channels and prescribed ways to go about giving your two cents. I will add your site to my blog. Warm regards, Omid Townsend mideastyouth.com bahaiq.blogspot.com GW,

But, I must admit: I have much to learn and deepen in this matter. It really looked like the Guardian’s style, and this is why I left room for the possibility of it being a Bahá’í Text.

Could you please tell me where it comes from, and share some refference on a Bahá'í authoritative Text that agrees with such a statement (if this is not the case)? Thanx. Dear George,

I would add one more statement to the ones you have cited. In the Advent of Divine Shogh Effendi says the following in regards to the rectitude of conduct which Baha'is should always exhibit: "It must be demonstrated in the impartiality of every defender of the Faith against its enemies, in his fair-mindedness in recognizing any merits that enemy may possess, and in his honesty in discharging any obligations he may have towards him." (Shoghi Effendi, The Advent of Divine Justice, p. 26) warmest, Susan Hi George,
