IN IRAN ' , ' ; "V ' For the last several months, newspapers, radio and television have carried stories dealing with the persecution of the ; Banal fa Iran. Because of the widespread ignorance of the Baha'i Faith, ft principle and it history, most of the press coverage has been fcv accurate, even when there was no malicious intent on the f part of the reporter. The venerable New York Time, one of - the most respected newspapers in die world, has published several items replete with errors. ft is natural that die Bahals throughout the world should want to correct misrepresenations and errors con ceming their Faith. For this reason, we are sending die ; : press release published by our national office. I;.. . Signed: Marian Dessent, Corresponding Secretary ; - Assembly of the Bahals of Durham For the first several months, Iran has been in turmoil Political, social and economic problems combined to pn : duce a crisis that has disturbed the normal life of the entire ..society. In recent days, violent attacks have been directed ' at the Baha'is. In Shiraz, 140 houses of Bahals were burned down or looted, In Nyriz, 25 Baha'i homes were burned down. In Sarvistan, Baha'is were driven to the mosquesi in an attempt to force them to recant their belief. In . various other places, similar incidents occurred. The lives of Baha'is and the destruction of Baha'i holy places in 'Teheran and Shiraz were also theatened. These are typical of the persecution being inflicted by fanatical elements on members of the Baha'i Faith in wake of the disturb- ' ances in Iran. As a result, 700 Baha'is are knwon to be - homeless. The root cause of these atrocities had been obscured mainly by misunderstanding of the relation of the Baha'i : Faith to Islam. Muslims have consistently denied the Faith any recognition since its inception in Iran over a century ago. Though originating in Islam, the Baha'i Faith has long since become an entirely independent world religion related to Islam in exactly the same way as Christianity is related to Judaism. The Baha'i Faith has adherents in 340 countries and dependencies. It has existed in the United States for eighty years and spread to over 6 JJ00 localities during that time. Baha'u'llah, the founder of the religion, was exiled from His native Iran, where the Baha'i teachings were violently opposed, and finally imprisoned in the Holy Land. The Baha'i Faith is widely known for its fundamental belief in one God, in the essential unity of all divinely-revealed re ligions, andi in the unity of mankind. Its worldwide mem bership comprises people of every known religious and ethnic background. ADULT EDUCATION CLUB The Adult Education Club members donated 26 bags of fruit during the Christmas season to the sick and less for tunate and visited rest homes to sing carols. Clothing was also donated. Mrs. Pearl Gibson is president and Mrs. C. R. Brown is leader.
