		<description>[quote comment=""]Ya Baha’u’llabha !!! the world is watching you!![/quote]

Make it with eyes wide open please!

It's amazing that Baha'u'llah's religion was able to take Tahirih's call for full emancipation of women world-wide and use Her and Her call only to place women in secondary positions. Imagine saying women can not be on the Universal House of Justice where the top decision making for the community takes place. This is a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.  

Keeping this truth in mind it is amazing that women like Mona are willing to keep alive 'dreams' that keep women in secondary postitions in society and are even willing to give their lives for such doings.

When the world watches, I hope it is with eyes wide open. The study of Tahirih's true life story and Her struggle to fully emancipate women is what needs to be told and studied.http://tahiralogy.blogspot.com/ in this Age - the Age of Balance and Harmony dawning.

		<description>Further to the last commennt: 

I wonder if the actors know they will be backing up the Baha’i ideals of martyrdom, being forbidden to recant the Faith, the downgraded position of women in decision making exemplified in Baha’i practice, and imprinting children to give their lives for the Baha’i Cause? Most of all I wonder if they realize the disservice they will be doing to the truth of Tahirih’s life and teachings by following the limited spin Baha’i permits. By doing so civilization is downgraded in thought and action; while they ‘think’ they are doing a service it is quite the opposite. Baha’u'llah was instructed by The Bab to submit to Tahirih’s teachings; yet his faith does not uphold female leadership that she stood for;

I understand what you say; however after the ascension of Abdulbaha
The Faith has had women as Bahai leaders, one example being
The Most Holy Leaf, Bahaullah's daughter.  Bahai's are also
at the moment working for women's full equality in all spheres,
including employment, education and family life.</description>

This is the real Law the movie should be bringing attention to.

[quote comment=""]A movie that shows the willingness of women to obey religion to a point of being martyred will restore respect for the Law. It will show that females can be of help to the men. With Jack Lenz being a Baha’i he will probably stick close to what the House wants as well as showing that martyrdom is an exalted state in the eyes of Islam and Baha’u’llah (Hidden Words).

Fiqh

Most of the Bahà’í’s I know, in fact all in person, NEVER question anything.

Well, I’m sure it will be just dandy.[/quote][/quote]</description>

		<description>Well Don, that is just plain sad.  Rather then focus on the courage of the brave Mona, focus on her religion.  Sounds like a patsy to me. 

Since a story may not be filmed on the central figures, why not pick the 16 year old who died for it to tell it… hummm, something sounds wrong with this picture already.  All the makings of a hidden agenda.
