I came across a quote today from Abdu'l-Baha in the memoirs of his private physician: Dr. Habib Muayyid. The quote is truly sickening and shows Abdu'l-Baha is willing to sacrifice his followers in Iran so that they can become a cause to propagate their cult:
"We desire neither absolute despotism, nor unbounded liberty. We are concerned with the spiritual teachings and matters pertaining to the world above. If in Iran they grant absolute liberty with no opposition against the Faith, it would not be of benefit to us. This is because in the path of the Blessed Beauty we must endure a myriad injuries, insults and indignities and sustain every manner of harm and persecution. If we were at ease like the others, then we would not be able to propagate the Cause or achieve anything of merit. Today, the Muslims are free, but what benefit appears from them? Nay, freedom makes people lazy."
