If a Baha'i were to insist on his right to support a certain
political party, he could not deny the same degree of freedom to other
believers. This would mean that within the ranks of the Faith, whose primary
mission is to unite all men as one great family under God, there would be
Baha'is opposed to each other. Where, then, would be the example of unity and
harmony which the world is seeking?
