The worst enemies of the Cause are in the Cause and mention
the Name of God. We need not fear the enemies on the outside for such can be
easily dealt with. But the enemies who call themselves friends and who persistently
violate every fundamental law of love and unity, are difficult to be dealt with
in this day, for the mercy of God is still great. But ere long this merciful
door will be closed and such enemies will be attacked with a madness.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of
Abdu'l-Baha in answer to questions asked by Dr. Edward C. Getsinger during a
few brief meetings at Haifa, January 26 to February 5, 1915, and recorded by
Dr. Getsinger at the time; Star of the West, vol. 6, no. 6, June 24, 1915)
