Dear Tom,
That's exactly what I'm implying. Now this person is claiming to be
Umm Yasmin. I've contacted Umm Yasmin privately and while her response
was somewhat ambiguous, it didn't sound like she had made any posts
recently on SRB. While Umm Yasmin/Rachel/Maryam is herself an
ex-Baha'i she does not have this kind or reputation for
duplicitousness as Claudia/Star has. But if Umm Yasmin had indeed
represented herself as "Tahirih" I would call that duplicitous and
misleading given the fact she has been a Muslim for many years now.
Personally, I think it more likely that Star had stolen Rachel's
screen name than that Umm Yasmin would have behaved that way.
warmest, Susan
