Discrimination
The Bahá’í Writings . . . answer the question of minorities with a call to "unity in diversity," in Mr. Eide's words "pluralism in togetherness" . . . To preserve and honor diversity without making differences a cause for conflict requires a new way of thinking, based on respect for the rights of every individual. This new way of thinking, characterized some years ago as a "culture of human rights," must be developed and supported by human rights education.

Quote of the Day
Kamal 18 Mulk 182 B.E.
. . . if we spontaneously desire to acknowledge we have been wrong in something and that we have some fault of character, and ask another person's forgiveness or pardon, we are quite free to do so. The Guardian wants to point out, however, that we are not obliged to do so. It rests entirely with the individual.
