And what happens in Iran, when a muslim becomes Bahai? Some of my wifes family hate my wife for being Bahai and dont talk to her. The rest is really ashamed, and wants her to keep silent about it. It is a Bahai law to respect someones decision to leave the Faith, maybe not all Bahais are perfect..
Their behavior is not Islamic.
According to a Hadith from Imam Sadiq( sixth Imam ), a person who becomes an apostate as a result of being presented with fallacies and misguidedly accepting them (in private and without public exhibition), will be spared from punishment. In addition, should that individual return to Islam, the good deeds they performed prior to their apostasy will be preserved.

But Baha'ic order for apostates:
Shughi(ولی امر الله، Owner of the order of God) has ordered to Baha'is:
راجع باحبائیکه بواسطه غفلت و نادانی از تشکیلات اداری منفصل شوند سوال نموده بودید که آیا بمحافل عمومی دعوت شوند یا خیر؟ فرمودند: دعوت آنان جایز نه، و نسبت به کسانی که از جامعه امر منفصل شدهاند آیا سلام و کلام با آنها جائزست یا نه؟ فرمودند اگر چنانچه انفصال روحانی است تکلم بهیچوجه جائز نه
You have asked about lovers(i.e., Baha'is) who stay away from administrative organizations because of neglecting and ignorance, that were they invited to public ceremonies? He(i.e., ولی امر الله، Owner of the order of God) has said:' Inviting them is not lawful ',
and (you have asked about ) who have leaved Jame-'eye Amr(i.e., Baha'ism) that, is greeting and talking with them lawful? He(i.e., ولی امر الله، Owner of the order of God) has said:' If leaving is spirituality, talking with them is never lawful '

1. The UHJ is in Haifa, Israel (Almost the last location where Bahaullah was banished by muslims). When Bahaullah told His followers to make the center of the faith there, Israel didnt exist. So if He had anything to do with Israel, He must have been a prophet, who knew that Israel will be there in the future.
Since when do Bahais spy for Israel? Probably not since 1863..
No, in that time, Bahais were suspected to be spies for Russia or Great Britain.
Ayatullah Khomeini:
However, we tell you that the Tudeh party not because it was the Tudeh Party and the Bahais not because of their belonging to the outlawed Bahai sect were prosecuted by our prosecutors and sentenced to imprisonment. They had problems; the Tudeh party came forward and confessed all their activities and they have a record.
The Bahais are not a faith, they are a party, a party that in the past was supported by the British and are at present being supported by the Americans —they too are spies just like them.
If they were not spies, then well, there are many other people that have ideological deviations; they are communists, they are other things but our prosecutors do not arrest and imprison them because they are Communists or have ideological deviations.

2. I am not american. But they probably condemn many more of Irans dictators actions. They also condemn ISIS and Ghadafi etc.
They should condemn their super dictators actions.
Yes, they condemn ISIS, but also condemn Russia fighting against ISIS!
They also condemn Bashshar Asad, while he is fighting with ISIS.
But they
donot condemn Saudi regime that helps ISIS and kills numerous Yemeni Shia Muslims. Or they donot condemn killing of numerous Shia Muslims in Nigeria.
They condemn Iran, because Baha'is benefit them. But they donot condemn others, because they do not benefit America government.
Surprisingly, the ff saying of Ayatullah Khomeini is exactly your answer:
I do not know whether you heard the speech of the President of the United States that was broadcast over the radio in which he asked the entire world to assist him in getting the release of these Bahais living in Iran. He said that they were innocent and were not spies and that they do not engage in any activity other than religious ones and it is for this reason of engaging in religious activities has condemned of them to death. He pleaded with the entire world that The Bahai faith was a very strong movement from the beginning. There is a benefit for the leaders of Iran if they stop the Bahai faith. They may continue the Islamic regime. Why do they imprison people who talk bad things about the leaders? For the same reason. Dictatorship works like that. You have to eliminate or scare the enemies within, or you will lose your power.they were not spies and are a people that do not interfere in anything and he was pleading on humanitarian grounds. Had he not mentioned these subjects some naïve minds would think that well, they too are a people that although they have corrupt beliefs but they are engaged in their own religious worship; this too was not their intention. However, after Mr. Reagen said that they were only engaging in religious ceremonies and nothing else, could we still believe? On the one side when they arrest the Tudeh Party officials, the Soviet Union protests that they are an innocent group that are also in agreement with the Islamic Republic; that they support it; that they backed the Islamic Republic like all others and are even now supporting it whereas now the government of Iran has come and unnecessarily arrested and imprisoned them. On the other side, Mr. Reagen1 is now saying that these Bahais are a wretched and peaceful people busy with their own worship ceremonies and are performing their own religious rituals and Iran is opposed to them for this very reason that their beliefs are contrary to ours. If they were not spies, you would not have voiced concern. Because they are a bunch that are working in your favor otherwise we know you; we know America would not all of a sudden clamor for 22 Bahai individuals who according to him have been arrested in Iran and that it is for humanitarian concerns that he is voicing his protest and is pleading with the entire world to come to their rescue. The people know you; you that persuaded Iraq to do unto our country what the Moguls had not done; and likewise unto their own country.

Yes the Bab preached Holy war. Many muslims expect exactly that of the Mahdi.
No.
Our Mahdi is not like Bab who the utterance of his book was to behead, burn the books, destroy the monuments, and massacre [everyone] but those who believed [in the Bab’s religion] and verified it.
Bab claimed that he is Mahdi. But true Mahdi is from the progeny of Muhammad,his name is like the name of Prophet Muhammad, his father's name is Hasan, etc., things that lair Bab did not have only one of them.
