Gird up the loins of your endeavor, O people of Bahá, that
haply the tumult of religious dissension and strife that agitateth the peoples
of the earth may be stilled, that every trace of it may be completely
obliterated. For the love of God, and them that serve Him, arise to aid this
most sublime and momentous Revelation. Religious fanaticism and hatred are a
world-devouring fire, whose violence none can quench. The Hand of Divine power
can, alone, deliver mankind from this desolating affliction.... - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
