Why Isn't The Bab More Popluar?

The Bab, born Sayyed ʻAlí Muḥammad Shírází (October 20, 1819 – July 9, 1850) was the founder of Babism, and one of the central figures of the Baha'i Faith.

The Bab was a merchant from Shiraz in Qajar Iran who, in 1844 at the age of 25, claimed to be a messenger of God. He took the title Bab meaning "Gate" or "Door", a reference to the deputy of the promised Twelver Mahd or al-Qa'im. He faced opposition from the Persian government, which eventually executed him and thousands of his followers, known as Babís.

Probably because his religion is a little bit batshit and too esoteric for Westerners to easily grasp.

I knew several gay Baha'i men.

A long time ago.

According to DL lore, it's because she's ugly, overrated, has a huge schnozz, and is a megalomaniacal bitch who doesn't play well with others, especially women.

Oh, wait, uh, er, never mind!
