Baha’is believe that Jesus Christ was a prophet of God, but the Baha’i Faith is not a Christian sect.
Baha’is believe that Moses was a prophet of God, but the Baha’i Faith is not a Jewish sect.
Baha’is believe that Muhammad was a prophet of God, but the Baha’i Faith is not an Islamic sect.
Any serious religion writer who wants to truthfully represent the history and beliefs of the Baha’i Faith should understand that just because the very first believers were Muslim, does not mean that the entire religion can be defined as a sect of Islam. Islamic authorities understand this very well, and made a point of making this clear to the Muslim world in edict and proclamations. I’m Nonpartisan
