My eyes have been opened recently to this satanic regime. and i am in the beginning phase of understanding the totality of what this regime represents and how it came to be. But I have a some very naive questions to ask and i hope to hear from people who remember the revolution as i was born some years after it.
My question is a very simple one, albeit naive and stupid, still i need real human voices to paste with allll the books/empirical data i am sifting through here at the library.
I am reading Professor Hamid Algar’s book Writings and Declarations of Khomeini in which Khomeini paints his vision of a government that safeguards individual rights, liberty, dialogue, respect for human rights, freedom of speech etc etc. but in 1979 when he comes to power he basically did the EXACT OPPOSITE and establishes a Clerical Kingship.
1) I mean is it me or was he a conniving liar ??? Is that why the older generation/parents DID NOT SEE the avalanche that was to come ??? WHY DIDN’T YOU SEE THE I.R.I. COMING !!??
–thank u in advance for your time–
P.S.
If u do choose to answer my question please be thoughtful, sincere, and academic. saying “phuck khomeini” or “khomeini screw you” has little bearing. -thanxx
