abstract noteThe author differentiates the Bahá'í martyrology from that of Islam primarily in the concept of the servant willing to suffer and die (the Bahá'í Faith) rather than the hero defending a cosmic order (Islam). He sets the Shiah persecution of the Bahá'ís in the context of the Shiahs seeing an implicit challenge to Islam in the central concepts of the Bahá'í Faith.
