Dear Elika: A very beautiful tribute to these souls who are willing to give their lives for the wonderful Baha’i Faith that I have only been a member of for thirty eight years. I hope and pray that I am never tested in this area, but if ever I am, I can only hope that I would be as courageous as the Baha’is that live, and are constantly intimidated and persecuted by the Iranian government and some of the clergy.
