520	3		_a"In the mid 1940's it [taqiyya (dissimulation)] was obvious in public and private life, and the older Iranians were aware of it as an institution. For example, the Bahais, in order to circumvent their civi disabilities, had to dissimulate in order to hold government positions. One outstanding Bahai administrator "passed" for a Shiite, though everyone knew he was a Bahai. He and others of his sect might pose as Shiites, and make routine appearances in the mosques, but they married only within their own group."
