|    Was the Bab, Sayyid Ali Muhammad Shirazi    |

      From: adam.ozturk1990@gmail.com              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"?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
