The aim
of the Baha'is is to reconcile viewpoints, to heal divisions, and to bring
about tolerance and mutual respect among men, and this aim is undermined if we
allow ourselves to be swept along by the ephemeral passions of others. This
does not mean that Baha'is cannot collaborate with any non-Baha’i movement; it
does mean that good judgment is required to
distinguish those activities and associations which are beneficial and
constructive from those which are divisive.
