   Nate Abookire to All   
   Was the Bab, Sayyid Ali Muhammad Shirazi

   No disrespect to Babīs or Baha'is intended.   
      
   This is for the self-styled "Bayani Gnostic Universalists" i.e., the   
   (Neo)-Azali Babīs of Nima Hazini.   
      
   Looking at Nima's behavior from outside the comfort zone of his online favor   
   it is easy to note discrepancies in his behavior and think unkindly of him.   
      
   Let us assume one isn't there. Let us assume that one still believes he is a   
   decent man with far more virtues than flaws or, if one subscribes to his   
   religious interpretation, maybe one imagines alongside him he is the Return of   
   the Bāb, of Muhammad, or    
   Abraham Abu Lafia etc   
      
   Do the word choices of this veritable modern day Manifestation, this "Mirror   
   of the Essence of the Godhead" have any precedent in the writings and   
   character of Sayyid Ali Muhammad Shirazi, the Bāb?   
      
   Was he the 19th century equivalent of a shitposter? Did her constantly make   
   reference to anal penetration of his enemies? Was he a vulgar man without adab   
   or akhlaq?    
      
   If so, I can well understand the line is fairly straight from Sayyid Ali   
   Muhammad Shirazi to Nima Sadra Hazini.    
      
   If not, on what basis is there any connection -- either a historical lineage   
   of initiation and vocation as in an actual chain of command going back through   
   Subh-i-Azal, or an actual ontological "Return"?
