A mulhid is an atheist, a non-believer in god

No, the Baha'i writings don't have a concept of non-believer really. All mankind is said to be one. Baha'u'llah claims to have cut down the tree with two branches (believer branch vs. non-believer branch) and instead established a tree with only one main branch from which all mankind emerges. Oneness of Mankind is a Baha'i slogan but it is a really serious concept in the Baha'i writings.

Er, the Iranian Muslims doing this are anti all religions but their own.

Can't AF give them a pass for being 99.99999% on board with our brand of atheism ?? Just how much can we require of potential members ??

Well, on that last thing. The point of atheism or an atheist forum like this isn't to "gather potential members", it's a discussion space for things that are supremely important to a great many people and societies. If someone doesn't want to discuss it because they're "99% on board", cool. If someone has a problem with that 1% difference and want to discuss it, cool. But I don't think you should tell people to gloss over something if it's important to them, and especially not if it's to win more convert points or memberships.

Figured it might irk the Iranian Muslims to have their intolerance towards other faiths be construed as atheism, and pretty damn impressive atheism at that.

A little mind fuck for the (intolerant) Islamic hordes.

Quick question, what does the line through Rabb Allah's name mean? On other forums I've been on it means they're banned, but I'm unsure about this one. I didn't see when he/she (profile says gender undisclosed) first posted on this thread, so I don't know if they were there then or not.

It's banned status, yeah.

Ah, okej. Thanks.

Also, equating Islam with atheism probably would annoy a lot of extremist Muslims. Unsure just what their response would be, though. Probably not just general signs of being "irked"... These are extremists we're talking about here...
