A fundamentalist Baha'i seems, at first glance, to be almost a
contradiction in terms, given that religion's reputation for tolerance
and liberal social teachings. However, forms of fundamentalism can be
found in almost all of the world's religions and share several
features in common, including: resistance to the secularization of
society, scriptural literalism, rejection of scientific and scholarly
findings which contradict the fundamentalist worldview, apocalypticism
and millennialism, a belief that the faithful are under siege by the
forces of evil, authoritarian and/or charismatic leadership, and the
insistence that fundamentalism is the only true form of the religion.

Internet Issues:
Discussed the need to keep in touch with Susan Maneck in spite of some
of misguided comments. She is a staunch defender of the Cause on the
Internet. It was agreed that the North American Working Group would be
copied on communications with Susan since she frequently addresses her
email to more than one Counselor.
From Department of the Secretariat

Bahai World Center Haifa Israel
October 23 2003
Dear Baha'i Friend,
Your two email messages of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, in which you
inquire about four individuals with whom you have been in contact
through discussions over the Internet, have been received at the
Baha\'i World Centre and referred to our Department for response.
"Ms. Karen Bacquet, Mr. Frederick Glaysher, Mr. Nima Hazini and Mr.
Dermod Ryder, all of whom are no longer members of the Baha\'i
community, have long exhibited highly critical attitudes toward the
institutions of the Faith. It is clear from various postings on the
Internet that Ms. Bacquet manifests a deep-seated antagonism toward
the institutions of the Faith. Mr. Glaysher and Mr. Hazini have both,
over a period of time, taken a number of actions inimical to the
Faith. They both seem bent on their own personal campaigns to
undermine the integrity of the Teachings and institutions of the Cause
in the minds of persons unwise enough to take them seriously.
In cases of inveterate hostility to the Cause, the Universal House of
Justice has advised:
The effect of continued exposure to such insincerity about matters
vital to humanity's well-being is spiritually corrosive. When we
encounter
minds that are closed and hearts that are darkened by evident malice,
Baha'u'llah urges that we leave such persons to God and turn our
attention to the opportunities which multiply daily for the promotion
of the truths which He teaches. In words written at the direction of
the Guardian, regarding a situation similar to, though much less
serious than, the present one, "...the friends should be advised to
just leave these people alone, for their influence can be nothing but
negative and destructive."
With loving Baha'i greetings,
Department of the Secretariat
