The reality is that the modern Baha'i mentality is wholly rooted in America, because it originates from Abdul Baha, and Abdul Baha did nothing more than cater to early 20th century American liberal ideals, so the ultimate origin and root of the modern Baha'i mentality is early 20th century America. The pillars of the modern Baha'i mentality are really the so-called "12 principles", and most of the 12 principles such as the Equality of Men and Women, have no basis in Baha'u'llah's writings - they come from America.
