The New Republic (Washington, D.C.) 235 ISRAEL, 12-13Abstract: "Haifa’s interfaith sensitivities are further bolstered by the presence of the universal-minded Bahai, whose world center is in Haifa and who revere it as a holy city.While Bahai are persecuted as heretics in much of the Muslim world, Haifa’s Muslim leaders, along with clergy of other faiths, routinely participate in Bahai events. The city’s skyline is dominated by the Bahai’s gold-domed shrine, which has become Haifa’s unofficial symbol."
