Dear Scott
Pakisatn is a safe Haven for everyone, I am originated from Pakistan, They have to let the Bahs in the country, if not how would they get aid from the world bank, they dont do it for free let you guys in, the Pakistanis get paid for that. So i dont think you can say Pakistan is a tolerante nice country i disagree.

"Islam is not intolerant, Scott, and you know that well. Praising the baha'i faith in the expense of islam is a habit of yours, but this is the first time i see you going so far with it. What Iran is doing to your fellow baha'is have nothing to do with Islam and you know that well.
When you talk about intolerane, please stick to Persia (Iran) and don't generalize until you reach Islam, as a religion."
The Islamic Revolutionary Government has as one of its branches the Imams of Iran. They can veto and initiate government actions.
Wikipedia (Islamic government): Iran's Islamic republic is in contrast to the semi-secular state of the Republic of Pakistan (proclaimed as an Islamic Republic in 1956) where Islamic laws are technically considered to override laws of the state, though in reality their relative hierarchy is ambiguous."
Islam was very tolerant historically speaking, one cannot call it tolerant as it manifests itself in government bodies. It is or is not tolerant depending upon the particular government in question.
Qur'anically speaking Islam is extremely tolerant, "Let there be no compulsion in religion" is a paradigm of tolerance.
It's the practice by individuals using religion to practice social control that is in question not the words of God expressed through the Prophet Muhammed.
I hope that clarifies.

Scott
Pakistan was a haven for Baha`i's fleeing Iran and still is for those who can still get out.
The government of Iran has been extremely intolerant of the Baha`i Faith.
