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.

"Persepolis would be rebuilt in the future as a Baha'i House of Worship"
Mr. XXXX refers to a statement of 'Abdu'l-Baha which indicates that "Persepolis would be rebuilt in the future as a Baha'i House of Worship". He enquires about its source and whether it might possibly be a pilgrim's note.
A statement concerning Persepolis as a future site of a House of Worship is found in a talk delivered by 'Abdu'l-Baha on 18 July 1915. The talk, which deals generally with Iranian civilization prior to Islam and the prospect of its resurgence, has not, to date, been translated into English. It is published in the original language in Abdu'l Hamid Ishraq Khavari's Rahiq-i-Makhtum (Tihran: Baha'i Publishing Trust, 131 B.E.), volume 2, pages 499-503.

Baha'u'llah's praise for Mirza Yahya's "verses"
During his ministry as head of the Babi movement, Mirza Yahya wrote a book called the Kitab-i Nur. Baha'u'llah wrote a letter in the Baghdad period urging Babis to copy it, describing it as verses from God:
Provisional translation:
"The Kitab-i Nur was not sent despite repeated insistence. Do not neglect it. It is very necessary for all the people of the Bayan. Janab-i Mulla Zayn al-Abidin, the blessings of God be upon him, must make a great effort to complete (copying) it. By the Lord of the heavens and earth! Verily, it is a noble and beloved book and the verses [ayat] of the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. Copy it in the best of handwriting as perfectly as you can. Then read it with love if you desire to ascend to the heavens of attraction and rise to the lofty clouds of sanctity."
You can find the passage in the full text of Baha'u'llah's letter on the official Baha'i website (it's the last paragraph).

Sir Ronald Storrs and Abdul Baha
Sir Ronald Storrs was a British colonial administrator and diplomat who served as the first British governor of Jerusalem during the British Mandate period in Palestine. He was known for his pro-Zionist views and his close relationship with prominent Zionist leaders, including Chaim Weizmann and David Ben-Gurion.
Storrs was sympathetic to the Zionist cause and believed in the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. He played a key role in promoting Jewish immigration to Palestine and supporting the development of Jewish institutions and infrastructure in the region. He worked closely with them to advance their goals in Palestine during his time as governor of Jerusalem.
In his memoirs (page 337) he states:
He also mentions and writes about Ruhi (Husayn Ruhi) as "My Bahai Persian secret agent." in his other book "Lawrence of Arabia - Zionism and Palestine".

He played a key role in promoting Jewish immigration to Palestine and supporting the development of Jewish institutions and infrastructure in the region. He worked closely with them to advance their goals in Palestine during his time as governor of Jerusalem.
In his memoirs (page 337) he states:
I renewed in Haifa my friendship with Abbas Effendi Abd al-Baha’ and his Bahai followers, whom I had last seen imprisoned in Acre on my visit in 1909. I found him sitting in spotless white, noble as a prophet of Michael Angelo. He placed at my disposal the training and talents of his community, one or two of whom I appointed to positions of confidence which they still continue to deserve.
at other place in the same book (page 328) he writes:
Many of the leading merchants, realizing how greatly the future prosperity of Jerusalem depended upon its preservation as Jerusalem (and not an inferior Kieff, Manchester or Baltimore), subscribed liberally to our funds; and in Egypt, England and America, Moslems, Christians and Jews, suspicious of any creed, culture or policy other than their own, gave gladly to a Jerusalem which represented all three. I realized then the power of the name of Jerusalem; I realized it even more afterwards when appealing for other countries or causes. I became, I am happy to believe, a convincing and successful Schnorrer. (Yiddish for a professional beggar.) My subscription list, of cheques ranging from £3 to £600, included from Cairo the names of Smouha and Btesh, the Syrian Community, and the editor of the Mokattam; in Jerusalem the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, Sir Abbas Effendi Abd al-Baha, the Mufti, several Jewish firms, the Imperial Ottoman Bank, the Crédit Lyonnais, the Anglo-Palestine Bank, the Banco di Roma, the 51st Sikh Regiment, the Zionist Commission, the Municipality, and the Administration; in Europe and America, Lord Milner, Sir Basil Zaharoff, Lord Northcliffe, Sir Alfred Mond, Mrs Holman Hunt, Mrs Carnegie, Messrs Pierpont Morgan, and Messrs Kuhn, Loeb. I found institutions more generous than individuals, and (especially in America) men than women.

pension money of the Turkish Government and the revenue of Baha's villages
Mrs. Templeton (previously Mrs. Laurence Oliphant), in "Facts for Behaists," tells of the unrighteousness of Abbas Effendi (Abdul Baha) in keeping from his brothers and stepmothers the pension money of the Turkish Government and the revenue of Baha's villages, and of his ostentatious charity in giving away part of these funds by distributing coins to a mixed crowd of beggars every Friday.

great success of the Persian Baha'is in teaching the Faith
House of Justice (UHJ), Persian-speaking Baha'is
No comments
Among the reasons offered by the Hands for the great success of the Persian Baha'is in teaching the Faith, in spite of the opposition to which they have always been subjected, were their diligent study of the Teachings and their uncompromising obedience to the spirit of the Baha'i administrative order, and to the majority decision.

The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Baha is the charter for the World Order of Baha’u’llah.
...the Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, written by His own hand during a period in which He was under great personal danger, is the charter for the World Order of Baha’u’llah. It is a document that had both immediate and future application. Shoghi Effendi wrote of it: ‘“We must trust to time, and the guidance of God’s Universal House of Justice, to obtain a clearer and fuller understanding of its provisions and implications.’’ It gave immediate authority for the development of the administrative institutions of the Faith. This document, ‘‘unique in the annals of the world’s religious systems,’’ assured the continuing unity and integrity of the Faith through the appointment of Shoghi Effendi, eldest grandson of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, as Guardian of the Faith of Baha’u’llah. It described how The Universal House of Justice ordained by Baha’u’llah would be elected and the relationship this supreme institution would have to the Guardianship and to the secondary Houses of Justice (National Spiritual Assemblies). It called for the appointment and outlined the duties of the Hands of the Cause of God, stressed the supreme authority of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, and warned of the danger and evil of Covenant-breaking. It made teaching the Cause the chief cornerstone of faith.

the Most Great Infallibility... station of Baha'u'llah
However the Most Great Infallibility is confined to the One Whose station is immeasurably exalted beyond ordinances or prohibitions and is sanctified from errors or omissions [Manifestations of God]. Indeed He is a Light which is not followed by darkness and a Truth not overtaken by error. Were He to pronounce water to be win or heaven to be earth or light to be fire, He speaketh the truth and no doubt would there be about it; and unto no one is given the right to question His authority or to say why or wherefore. Whosoever raiseth objections will be numbered with the froward in the Book of God, the Lord of the worlds. 'Verily He shall not be asked of His doings but all others shall be asked of their doings.' (cf. Qur'an 21:3) He is come from the invisible heaven, bearing the banner 'He doeth whatsoever He willeth' and is accompanied by hosts of power and authority while it is the duty of all besides Him to strictly observe whatever laws and ordinances have been enjoined upon them, and should anyone deviate therefrom, even to the extent of a hair's breadth, his work would be brought to naught.

Baha'u'llah is the Self of God
The most great infallibility as a doctrine, Bahá'u'lláh says, acts to protect his religion. He reiterates that no one can share in it other than the Self of God. This phrase refers to the universal manifestation of God, who is the manifestation of the Self of God,...

Muhammad's covenant
Muhammad named ‘Ali, His cousin and son-in-law, to succeed Him. A few months before His passing in June, 632, whilst on the road to Medina from His last pilgrimage to Mecca, He halted at an oasis and had a pulpit raised with saddles. This He ascended and had ‘Ali up so that he could be seen by the multitudes. To them He said in plain terms that whosoever had recognized and accepted Him as their Master, should recognize and accept ‘Ali likewise. But no sooner had He left this world than controversy broke out as to who should succeed Him. ‘Ali and the immediate members of the Prophet’s family were left to attend to His funeral, while the people gathered at the Prophet’s mosque to wrangle over the succession. Those who were from Mecca, who first gave their allegiance to Muhammad, had suffered greatly for their faith and had migrated from their city, becoming known as the Muhajirin (the Emigrants). In a country of tribal divisions and intense loyalty to the clan, the Muhajirin felt that they were entitled to distinction, because they were chiefly of the Quraysh, Muhammad’s own people, and the traditional custodians of the holy sanctuary of Ka‘bih, venerated in the days of idolatry, and sanctified as well in Islam. On the other hand there were the Ansar (the Helpers), inhabitants of Medina who had accepted Islam when its fortunes were at a very low ebb, had given refuge to the Prophet and His Meccan followers, thus endangering their own security and that of their wives and children and property by inviting the enmity of the ferocious, irate and revenge-seeking idolaters of Mecca, as well as that of the hostile tribes and clans around them. They now claimed the chieftainship of Islam.
The veterans amongst the Muhajirin, of whom the most outstanding was the aged Abu-Bakr—the third person to believe in Muhammad, His father-in-law, and His companion in the flight from Mecca to Medina—were greatly perturbed, because they thought that should a man of Medina be put at the head of Islam the proud Meccans would refuse to submit, and the unity forged by the Prophet would be irreparably impaired. They all ignored the fact that Muhammad had already named His successor. But ‘Ali was young. These men were rich in years, renowned and honoured. The body of the Prophet lay unburied whilst they argued and argued in His mosque about His successor. Finally ‘Umar presented the venerable Abu-Bakr to the multitude as the viceregent of the Prophet, and he himself was the first to pay homage and declare his allegiance to Abu-Bakr. Others followed suit. Only a handful refrained. But they too eventually submitted when ‘Ali bowed to the inevitable and swore fealty to the Caliph.
Arabia was once again ablaze. Tribe after tribe was reverting to idolatry. ‘Ali would not countenance any contention at the very heart of Islam at such a perilous time. Abu-Bakr was a man of piety and integrity, but the seat which he occupied truly belonged to ‘Ali by the Prophet’s prescription. But ‘Ali would not assert his rightful claim when Islam was compelled to fight desperately for its very life, assailed as it was on all sides by dark forces of reaction, as well as by the rise of false prophets (amongst whom incidentally was a woman). Islam triumphed over the faithless hordes who would have reverted back to barbarism, and soon Arabia was once more united under the banner of Islam, ready and poised to challenge the might of the Byzantine and the Persian Sassanid empires.
But the expressed wish and command of the Prophet had been discarded, His Covenant lay in the dust. By the time that ‘Ali, the true successor, was acclaimed Caliph, after Abu-Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman, the unity of Islam had been irretrievably shattered and the way paved for the disastrous and irreligious rule of the Umayyids, Muhammad’s traditional enemies. ‘Ali the righteous, of incorruptible nature, high virtue, sound governance, soaring eloquence, profound learning, the Prophet’s Own appointee, was compelled to spend the three short years of his rule containing rebellion and the vaulting ambitions of powerful men who cared nothing for the divine commonwealth founded by Muhammad, but only for their own assumption of power.

The Tablet of Wrath by Wahid Azal
And know that in the initial Days of this Manifestation, with the Permission of God and Its Authorization and with Its Command, We took a copy of the book of the Most Great Cage (kitāb al-aqfas) [i.e. the kitāb-i-aqdas] of your demonic founder, and We urinated upon it with intense urination until We saturated it in Our urine! Then was poured upon it lighter fluid and We lit it up, and it burned to ashes; and there was with us a witness to this Event, because with God such is its true worth, the true worth of all his writings and all of the writings of his successors from first to last!

Ghusn-i A‘zam (the Most Great Branch, ‘Abdu’l-Baha) was residing in ‘Akka. This writer [Mirza Badi‘u’llah] ... was hosting this dear guest [Browne] ... He was a very learned man.
