Gomer: "NONE of those gave me what I would accept as evidence, since they are ALL digital copies of pages of the Bayan in ARABIC! I can't read Arabic, dammit!""
Because Gomer does not like the evidence presented to him, he simply waves his hands and calls it no evidence. That he cannot access the evidence because he can't read Arabic is his own problem. The evidence was presented and it is there in black and white. Evidence cannot be dismissed simply because a given interlocutor is illiterate. The nature of the evidence does not change because Gomer cannot access it. The evidence remains what it is irrespective of Gomer's illiteracy and can be verified by those who do read Arabic. To say otherwise is intellectual dishonesty of the first order, nor does the world revolve around Gomer. QED
From Mission Problems in New Persia, 1926, p. 83, 87 and 89 quoted by William McElwee Miller in The Baha'i Faith: It's History and Teachings, 1973, p. 289.

"...There is no conscience with them [ i.e. the Baha'is], they keep to no principle, they tell you what is untrue, ignoring or denying undoubted historical facts, and this is the character of both the leader and the led...As to morality and honesty, the whole system has proved disappointing...I have been in contact with many Baha'is, and have had dealings with many and have tested many, and unfortunately I have met not a single one who could be called honest or faithful in the full sense of these words..."
