Following is an excerpt from an interview with Hadad Adel, former speaker of the Iranian Parliament, which aired on Channel 2, Iranian V, on June 17, 2009.

Hadad Adel: The BBC sympathizes with these people. It is the same BBC network that is teeming with Bahais, who take vengeance against the Iranian people. In fact, the managers of many departments in BBC Farsi TV, which began airing a few months ago, are Bahais. I think that the Iranian people should no longer view the word BBC as an acronym for “British Broadcasting Company,” but as an acronym for “Bahai Broadcasting Company.” In other words, it is the voice of the Bahais – not that there is such a big difference. After all, the English created the Bahais. The people should not trust this network.
