Religious propaganda and the legal restrictions on this subject; the normative argument against the Baha’i rights to religious propaganda

By: Mohammad Hosseini

Abstract

Religious propaganda is an important requirement of Baha’i Ideology and has now become a prescriptive-offensive strategy for Baha’is in disguise the right to propagate religion or the right to express one’s religion. Although it is necessary for legal words to have clear conceptual boundaries due to their capability, the concept (religious propaganda) is in itself ambiguous and this ambiguity is problematic both in the Constitution law of the Islamic Republic of Iran and in international Documents. It is difficult to provide a precise legal definition of it. One of the examples of free choice of religion and expression of opinion is the expression   of religion. This article tries to explain the concept of religious propaganda in the Iranian law and international law, and then shows that according to the legal logic in every legal system, religious propaganda can be restricted or even banned.

Conventional financing channels of the Baha’i Socio-economic development programs

By: Hossein Dadgostar

Abstract

In recent years, the process of socio-economic development in various countries, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries, has become a tool to promote the Baha’i faith and its spread in different parts of the world. The Baha’i Community provides the necessary financial resources and the implementation of small and large projects in a geographical area, paving the way for the expansion of the Baha’ism and its organization.

In this study, utilization the Baha’i Teachings and its Religious Orders and examining the financial reports of some Baha’i propaganda institutions, we categorize the conventional funding sources used in these projects. Surveys show that these resources typically come from satellite organizations under the auspices of the Universal House of Justice and through the general participation of Baha’is under various titles of Rights of God and donations, as well as the financial resources of wealthy Baha’is and sometimes in the form of charity and charitable projects.

Key words

 Socio-economic development, the Rights of God, Donations, Institutions inspired by the Baha’i Faith

Baha’is in Indonesia

By: Mohammad Gogani

Abstract

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago by area and the 15th largest in the world and the largest in Southeast Asia. It is the fourth most populous country in the world and the most populous Muslim country. Religious freedom is guaranteed in its constitution, so great care is paid to prevent extremism or propaganda and missionary activities of religious groups, among followers of other religions and sects, do not disrupt social order and cause inflammation and tension. In 2000, the ban on Baha’i organizations in Indonesia was lifted after nearly three decades, provided they do not carry out any propaganda activities to change the religion of others. However, given the contents of the cases of the Baha’i Missionaries, it is clear that the organizations of the Baha’i Community has not responded adequately to the trust of the Indonesian government.

Key words

 Baha’is, Indonesia, population, Bahai organizations
