		<description>Dear Maryam: When all Bahais are saying that there are no sects in the faith, why is it so hard for you to accept it? We are one. And the word you described as so called &quot;covenant&quot; i hope you will understand one day in your life. And always remember we have our faith. You can think of someone who can save your faith. I Hope you have understood the covenant of Jesus fully. And I hope you are waiting for him to come. I pray to God that he help you to recognize him because he is thief in the night... God bless you!</description>

		<description>My dear Fairminded,

As my Bahai friends claim that they want to bring a new world order with the &quot;most great peace&quot;. Now that there are groups claiming to be the true Bahais and claiming all the other denominations as covenant breakers. These people are increasing day by day and creating problems for the Haifan Bahais on Internet as the BIA (Bahai Internet Agency) claims.

The Bahais are asked to avoid the Facebook and other social networking sites as it is dangerous for their so called &quot;covenant.&quot; Now when you people are unable to tackle the problems of your own community and people are leaving this religion en masse that how the &quot;most great peace&quot; is going to be established. Are you people also awaiting for a saviour, who will come and save your religion? May Jesus help you all.</description>

		<description>To the dear Bahais who are firm in the covenant. The best answer to those who allege that the Bahai faith became sectarian is to ignore them completely. Remember the opening paragraph of the will and testament of Abdul-Baha:

&lt;blockquote&gt;All-praise to him who, by the shield of his covenant, hath guarded the temple of his cause from the darts of doubtfulness, who by the hosts of his testament hath preserved the sanctuary of his most beneficent law and protected his straight and luminous path, staying thereby the onslaught of the company of covenant-breakers, that have threatened to subvert his divine edifice; who hath watched over his mighty stronghold and all-glorious 439 faith, through the aid of men whom the slander of the slanderer affects not, whom no earthly calling, glory and power can turn aside from the covenant of God and his testament, established firmly by his clear and manifest words, writ and revealed by his all-glorious pen and recorded in the preserved tablet.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

With loving Bahai greetings!</description>

		<description>Maryam, based on the divine covenant set by Baha&#039;u&#039;llah, the Prophet of Bahai faith, there is no sect and there could never be any sect in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bahai.org&quot;&gt;Bahai faith&lt;/a&gt;. In which case, you can not refer to any group as the &quot;correct sect.&quot; Please study Baha&#039;u&#039;llah&#039;s original teachings, and not baseless interpretations thereof. Thank you, and God bless you too :)</description>

		<description>Sara this is for you, my dear. May be you don&#039;t know that, as the Bahais of Haifa don&#039;t want their members to know this fact.

Read this please: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Baha%27i_Faith

Thank you!

God bless you and guide you to the correct sect.</description>

		<description>Maryam,

Stop trying to bring wrong information for those who read this article. There is no sect in Bahai religion. You can find anything online, but that doesn&#039;t mean anything. If you do some readings of the faith, you will know there is no such a thing.</description>

		<description>Islamic regime should respect the rights of Haifan Bahais and Haifan Bahais must also respect the rights of other Bahais. Viz. Orthodox Bahais, BUPC, Unitarian Bahais and so on.</description>

		<description>There are no sects in the Bahai faith....the fact that there are some postings or sites on the web claiming so does not constitute them being a Bahai sect....Freedom of belief is a basic human right that should be respected by all.</description>

		<description>Dear Stilite: Don&#039;t be surprised please. Just Google the term &quot;Bahai sects&quot; and you will come to know about different denominations of Bahaism.</description>

		<description>I am surprised that Maryam Prodgi does not realise there is only one Bahai faith. There is no such thing as &quot;orthodox&quot; or &quot;Haifan&quot; just Bahai.</description>
