Terms (titles) applied to covenant-breakers, dissidents, apostates and opponents

Shoghi Effendi (1897–1957), the (infallible) Guardian of the Baha’i religion and a prolific writer in English, devoted many passages to individuals. Here is an abbreviated list of terms applied by him to covenant-breakers, dissidents, apostates and opponents :

Diabolical, ambitious, malevolent, deluded, ‘shameless apostate’, brazen, infamous, insidious, ‘vile whisperer’, Antichrist, ‘the living embodiment of wickedness, cupidity and deceit’, blasphemous, unspeakably repugnant, perfidious, unquenchable animosity, arrogant, treacherous, despicable, ‘blind, uncontrollable animosity’, ‘the most shameless, vicious, relentless apostate’, ‘the incarnation of Satan’, ‘fiendish ingenuity and guile’, infernal, nefarious, defectors, betrayers.
