I am allways curious about other religions especialy when they have
corelations between each other.

The person that wrote this book was executed by persian athorities for
his steadfast beliefs in a system other than that of Islam.

That execution was witnessed by british troops (they were invited to
participate which they refused to do). The initial attempt failed.
Once the smoke cleared the person tied to the pole was gone they found
him some time later talking calmly with his followers.

anyone here ever read his works. His name in persian was the Bab which
means the gate.

does seem to have something to do with Muslems and the Shiah religion.

It was the shia that executed him. He claimed to be the forerunner of a
new messenger of god.
