What is at issue is the need for Bahá’is interested in promoting social justice to dissociate themselves from the divisive tendencies that so often enter the arena of social and political activism. Our aim, as Bahá’is, is to champion the cause of justice, but the type of language we utilize and the conduct we evince should stand in contrast to the adversarial modes of activism commonly adopted in society today.
