The Baha’i Faith from the Viewpoint of the Baha’i Critics and Intellectuals

Frederick Glaysher is one of the Baha’i critics who, after 25 years of active membership in the Baha’i community, was blamed by the Baha’i organization for his criticism of Baha’i Faith and his name removed from the list of the members of the Baha’i community by the decision of the Universal House of Justice andfrom the Baha’is community. As a Baha’i intellectual, he criticizes the Universal House of Justice (the Baha’i leadership in Haifa) and cites the Universal House of Justice as a tyrannical leader who has restricted freedom of thought and conscience. He believes that the Baha’ism has deviated from their original course after Baha’u’llah and Abdu’l-Bahá and has changed in to power-seeking, sectarian, and unethical organizations. He refers to Baha’ism as the backyard of the governments of the United States and Israel, and considers it as an important player in the global political activities.
