We must beware of thinking that fanaticism is something which is only practiced by others. On the contrary, it is a universal human frailty, namely the high virtue of steadfastness taken to an extreme, an evil from which even we, who call ourselves Baha'is, are not immune.
There is a growing tendency in the Baha'i community to allude to "covenantal implications" (Takfir), when issues are raised, which have not yet been openly discussed, or if an opinion is voiced that deviates from the common understanding in the community.
