| Summary, etc. | "Unfortunately for the sectaries of the Baab, there is a very simple means of recognizing them. A man being suspected of Baabism is requested to curse the Baab; if he be a Baabi, he invariably refuses to do this, though he knows full well that the refusal will assuredly cost him his life. Imprisonment, torture, death itself fail to shake the steadfast believers in the mission of the Baab. The writer saw a Baabi led to prison in 1880, the man was a priest (mollah) who had been denounced by his wife. He was an old man, and though he was imprisoned and severely bastinadoed, and offered life if he would curse the Baab, he replied [with defiance]." Regarding the assassination of the Shah, Wills recounts evidence exonerating the Babis. |
