his view on iranians/bahais * I cannot believe Iranians are capable of such hatred I am an Indian and I came to know the Bahais as soon as I got here [Heechee kam nadaaran]. Coming from where I do, I did not know an Iranian from an Arab. I lived next to an Iranian Bahai and that is when I got to know other Bahais, all Iranians. They are happy people; open, warm and welcoming. As a result all the Iranians I know were such. I dont know any Iranians who are otherwise because I dont know any non-Bahai Iranians. Once, on the internet, I read about the persecutions of the Bahais and the tortures and the accompanying gory details. Till today, I cannot relate to it in the sense that the perpetrators were Iranians too. I cannot believe that Iranians are capable of such hatred because I have never seen that in the Iranians that I know. Hence, although I am living in denial and I know it, I love Iranians in general. I have not met other Iranians. Some part of me does not want to lest I judge a people as a result. I love the Iranians and I would like to keep it that way. That goes for all nationalities, in spite of the general opinion that tends to badmouth that nationality.
