This is what Baha'is narrate about Baha'u'llah's attitude towards those who wanted to harm him:
[FONT="]"As He was approaching the dungeon, and old and decrepit woman was seen to emerge from the midst of the crowd, with a stone in her hand, eager to cast it at the face of Bahāullāh. Her eyes glowed with a determination and fanaticism of which few women of her age were capable. Her whole frame shook with rage as she stepped forward and raised her hand to hurl her missile at Him. By the Siyyidush-Shuhada, I adjure you, she pleaded, as she ran to overtake those into whose hands Bahāullāh had been delivered, give me a chance to fling my stone in his face! Suffer not this woman to be disappointed, were Bahāullāhs words to His guards, as He saw her hastening behind Him. Deny her not what she regards as a meritorious act in the sight of God." [/FONT]([FONT="][FONT="]Nabil Zarandi, The Dawn-Breakers: Nabils Narrative of the Early Days of the Bahai Revelation[/FONT][FONT="], pp. 607608).
[/FONT] [/FONT]Baha'u'llah tells the Guards to allow a woman to hit him in the head with a rock because she thinks it is a meritorious act in the sight of God!
Suicide Bombers too believe that their acts are meritorious in the sight of God, thus based on Baha'u'llah's reasoning (that I find very very absurd) Baha'is and the person of Baha'u'llah must embrace suicide bombers and allow them to blow them up because they must "deny them not what they regard as a meritorious act in the sight of God"!
