To: Mr. Hakim

 Hi. This is me again, Ali. Yes, the one who posted articles
under the title "Iran, Baha'is, part I to IX". As it has
been mentioned in those articles, I am already convinced
that you are wrong. I also said good bye to this chapter of
SCI.

 But, on the other hand, I would like to increase my knowledge
about your faith as a historical incident (not a religion) which
took place in my country. Recently, I noticed another article
which was posted by Mr. Mokhtarian. Also, I noticed several precise
references in that article. Hereby, I would like to humbly ask
you to express your views about each of those arguments (specially
those which are refering to some documents with page number).

To be quite honest with you, regardless of that article, I
have already made my judgement about you. As I already said
in my postings, I (as an individual muslim) do not recognize
your faith as a religion nor do I consider your leader as
a prophet. Along this line, your reply (if any) would just
be added to my historical knowledge.

So, if you think that you have enough time and desire to
acknowledge this selfish request of mine, I would be very 
grateful. If not, I assure you that this lack of response
from you would not be perceived as anything on my side. I 
understand that you have every right to answer or be silent.

Thank you.



Ali

  Hi my friends. I have noticed that some of you guys are
already bored with this chain of discussions. But, if I may,
I would like to express my 2 cent worth opinion about this
issue.

  As I recall, several months ago, whenever I looked in SCI,
I found these kinds of articles:

1. News articles from Mr. Taghavi, Mr. Sehari, ...
2. Interesting stories from amoo and others,...
3. Sport discussions from Mr. Naraghi and ....
4. Several other intersting articles from many other individuals,
   like poems, proverbs, ....

  But, much to my regret, the highest traffic (at least as I
remember) belonged to the followings:

5. General insulting articles like the one posted by "Avenge Angel"
   who called every middle eastern bastard
6. Personal insults from couple of netters which was directed to
   Mr. Sehari and thereafter his retaliation
7. Saied*'s attempt to convince the others regarding his political
   opinions which happen to be in the opposite direction of many
   other netters' (including mine)
8. Mr. Jaber's scud  missle launching in SCI

 
 
 


  What is my point? My point is: "Don't you think that the current
discussion has been so far much more informative compared to the
items (5 to 8) of the above?"

  Please, don't get me wrong. I, like any of you, hate to see
personal insults in the middle of logical discussions. But, did
any one of you has seen such insults in, for instance, the
current discussion between Mr. Hakim and Mr. Sadeghi? At least,
I haven't seen any.

  Anyway, please understand that I was just expressing my opinion
about what has been going on in SCI. If you happen to not share
the same taste with me, I understand and respect it.
