What is more shameful is that he does this in the name of the beautiful Faith of Islam. Inciting violence in the name of religion is the biggest insult one inflicts on his own religion. Baha'is accept Islam as a divine message and have more respect for Islam than someone who professes his beliefs in Islam but rigidly places himself as the judge over the beliefs and lives of others. Muslims should reject this portrayal of their loving and peaceful Faith. As a Baha'i of Egyptian origin living in the West, I along with other Baha'is are constantly defending Islam against baseless accusations against this beautiful Faith because of similar abhorrent behavior of prejudiced and closed minded people that claim God and Faith to be only theirs and perpetrate violence and terror in the name of God. The Prophet Mohamed said to his idol worshiping opponents in Mecca: \You have your religion and I have mine\. He did not oppose them until they attached him and his followers. The people of Mecca were certain they were right when they fought the Messenger of Islam and his followers. Is it possible that this person, sadly an elected representative of the people and a journalist, who is inciting Egyptian Muslims against Egyptian Baha'is and those who acted upon his incitement are repeating the acts of the people of Mecca before Islam became victorious? Another example of history repeating itself! My message to those who incite hatred and bigotry is: investigate before you judge, do not judge before you investigate. But judge only for yourself and do not impose your views, opinions, or your perceptions of your Faith, regardless of how meritorious they are in your opinion, on others.
