Over 20,000 Babi's were murdered by the Iranian Muslim clergy in the mid-19th century for their religious beliefs. To this day, Iran and many of the other Muslim countries hold the Baha'i Faith as illegal and imprison them for many trumped up reasons all of which will be "forgiven" if they recant their faith and swear fealty to Muhammed. The poor simpletons don't even understand what they percieve to be the enemy but carry our their progroms thinking they are pleasing God.
JW's piss them off by refusing also to recant. You probably won't see 20,000 though.
