Bahai-Faith.com Who Is a Baha'i Apostate? Are Ex-Baha'is Obsessive, Hateful and Vengeful? Responses to the Claims of Baha'i Author Moojan Momen Dr. Moojan Momen is a well-known Baha'i who is the author of an introductory book about the Baha'i Faith, and has also published some academic papers and other writings. In an article published in the academic journal Religion in 2007, Momen makes some inaccurate and inflammatory assertions about ex-Baha'is and Baha'is who have left the organized Baha'i community. In this article, "Marginality and Apostasy in the Baha'i Community," Momen identifies 12 individuals as the most noteworthy "apostates" from the Baha'i Faith in modern times. I, Eric Stetson, am on that list. Some of the people Momen discusses in his paper (Karen Bacquet, Alison Marshall, and Frederick Glaysher) still consider themselves Baha'i but have publicly expressed disagreement with the leadership and policies of the Baha'i Faith organization based in Haifa, Israel. Others, such as myself, no longer consider themselves Baha'i at all. All of them are considered "apostates" by Momen, and all of them are accused of having a hateful and vengeful spirit and obsessively attacking the Baha'i Faith. Neither of these claims are accurate. First of all, one who leaves a religious organization but still claims to follow the prophet who founded the religion can be fairly called a "reformist," a "dissident" or even in some cases a "schismatic," but not an "apostate." There is a big difference! Just because some self-professed Baha'is do not conform to the rigid fundamentalist views of the Haifan Baha'i organization to which Momen adheres, does not mean they have left the religion of Baha'ism and become apostates. Momen's claim that anyone who criticizes or rejects the Haifa-based Baha'i organization is by definition a non-Baha'i is just as absurd as to claim that anyone who follows Jesus but disagrees with the Roman Catholic Church is a non-Christian.

Bahá'í Faith From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Baguazhang) Next (Bahadur Shah II) Seat of the Universal House of Justice in Haifa, Israel, governing body of the Bahá'í Faith The Bahá'í Faith is a religion founded by Bahá'u'lláh in nineteenth-century Persia. Members of the Bahá'í faith understand history as an evolving educational process for humankind, brought about by God's religious messengers known as “Manifestations of God.” Bahá'u'lláh is seen as the most recent and pivotal, but not final of these messengers. He is viewed as the long-expected educator and teacher of all peoples, allegedly foretold in the scriptures of Christianity, Islam Hinduism , and Buddhism. It is said that his mission was to establish a firm basis for unity throughout the world, and inaugurate an age of peace and justice, which Bahá'ís expect will inevitably arise. Fundamental to Bahá'í teachings is unity: the unity of God, of religion, and of humankind. These principles have a profound impact on the theological and social teachings of this religion. Bahá'ís number around six million in more than two hundred countries around the world.
