What is the Bahá'í Faith? Founded a century and a half ago, the Bahá'í Faith is today among the fastest-growing of the world's religions. With more than five million followers, who reside in virtually every nation on earth, it is the second-most widespread faith, surpassing every religion but Christianity in its geographic reach.

More than 2100 different ethnic and tribal groups are represented. Since it also forms a single community, free of schism or factions, the Bahá'í Faith comprises what is very likely the most diverse and widespread organized body of people on earth.

This is the 11th consecutive year that China issued a human rights dissertation on the US. The documents rebuts Washington's annual analysis, so that the people around the world will understand true picture of human rights in the United States. The Information Office of the State Council says that, as in previous years, the US Human Rights Report "turns a blind eye to, or dodges, and even covers up rampant abuses on its own territory." Statistics show that violent crimes pose threats to the lives, property, and personal security of the American people. The rate remains high. The US also ranks first in the world in the number of privately-owned guns. Certain accounts show that abuse of power is common among US law enforcement officers. Other sources points out that the basic rights of prisoners are not well protected. And in some cases, chaotic management of detention facilities have led to widespread outbreaks of diseases among inmates. The report says the term "Freedom of the Press" is, in fact, completely subordinate to its national interests, and often manipulated by the US government. The 2009 unemployment rate in the country was the highest in 26 years. More people are living in poverty than in the previous decade. The report adds that racial prejudice in law enforcement and the judicial ...
