Author(s):
Abstract:

Michael Zargarov (b. 1960 in Texas, USA) joined the Baha’ism in 1980 and as a Baha’i missionary conducted many missionary meetings and made numerous missionary trips throughout the United States and as an international migrant missionary to Mexico, Central America, the Soviet Union and had been sent to other countries. As an intellectual, educated and Baha’i missionary, after about 20 years of membership and sincere missionary activity, he realized the problems, mistakes, conflicts and ach of the institutions and institutions does not have an authority, such as( the Guardian of the Faith ) Wali Amrallah and Bait al-Adl.( House of Justice).
He was convinced that the Bahá’í community is unable and doomed to fail in realizing its goals and teachings, such as establishing world peace, unity of the human beings, and a golden age for human society, etc. He does not believe in the infallibility of Baha’i leaders and considers accepting such a belief as a move towards dictatorship and tyranny within the Baha’i community. He is highly critical of the leadership of the House of Justice and considers the House of Justice and the current leadership of Baha’i in Israel to be illegitimate and believes that Baha’i has not brought any achievements to the world after more than 170 years of its existence. In his opinion, Baha’ism, like other human sects, is generally a tool in the hands of those governments who want to dominate and is ultimately doomed to failure. In this article, a conversation with him is presented.
