The Baha’i Faith in the Eyes of the Baha’i Critics and Intellectuals, Part Eight: Dale Husband
Author(s):
Abstract:

Dale Husband is one of the leading Bahai writers and researchers who learned about the Baha'i teachings during his nine years of membership in the Baha'i community and organization, and after a while observed many weaknesses, mistakes, conflicts and failures in it.
In a letter addressing the National Assembly of the Baha'is in the United States of America he said “After years of researching the truth, I finally came to the sad conclusion that I can no longer believe in Baha'u'llah or any of the institutions established under his name, such as the Guardian of the Cause of God, and Universal House of Justice. I am convinced that the Baha'is are incapable to fulfill their goals and teachings of peace, unity, and the creation of a golden age for mankind. Husband does not believe in the innocence and impunity of the Baha'i leaders, and considers accepting such a belief as a move toward dictatorship and tyranny within the Baha'i community.”
He has been critical of the legitimacy of the Baha'i leadership after Abdul Baha, and believes that after Abdul Baha, the Baha'i leadership should have been entrusted to his brother, Mohammad Ali Effendi. Husband considers Universal House of Justice (the current Baha'i leadership in Israel) to be illegitimate and believes that Baha'i faith has not made any significant achievements after more than 170 years of its life.
He is an Advocate of Unitarian Baha’ism and has drawn much criticism toward the UHJ and the authoritarian Baha'ism.
