Desecrating the Ayhatollah's grave?

Fundamental to the civic restructuring of Tehran lies the question of what to do with the disproportionae number of mosques and the  mausoleum of Ruhollah Khomeini, the treacherous anti-Iranian despot of  Indian origin. The ostentatious  tomb, which for a man who supposedly lived frugally, is an abomination to Iran. It’s ghastly edifice is a blotch on the landscape of Tehran and an insult to the memory of the thousands of Iranians who lie in eternal rest in the nearby Behesht Zahra cemetery.

Should we desecrate his grave as he did with Reza Shah the Great and build a public toilet over it? Should we demolish the monstrosity to make way for a sewage system running through it? Shall we built a luxury casino over it? Perhaps, we should let his tomb reside where it is and convert it into a chamber of horrors like Auschwitz to remind the world of the atrocities this genocidal maniac did in the name of Islam?

Should we build a memorial statute  near his coffin with the names of  the hundreds of thousands of Iranian political prisoners his regime has killed?

 Should his mortal remains be incinerated to prevent his supporters from creating a cult following in a future democratic Iran? 

Whichever way we address the challenge of Khomeini’s remains and that of murderers such as Sadegh khalkhali , we should at least bare his tomb for public condemnation for a certain time in the same ways Muslim pilgrims to Mecca are allowed to throw stones at the devil during Haj.

I like the Museum or Memorial Idea

With the names of all the political prisoners and innocent people he and his followers (including Musavi) murdered. His grave should be moved to Qum or something like that.

Every museum needs a toilet

MM is right: turn it into the museum of dictatorship.

A-V is right too: build the toilet, where it should be!

A museum sounds better than destruction

A lot of money was spent on that structure.  So, better change to a testament to the reality of mixing religion and politics, as well as giving too much power to one person: "Absolute power corrupts absolutely".

we should just let him have

only a small grave stone like all those other who are burried there.  No more and no less.  The land and the mosque should be converted to a park, or children's amusement park, or low cost housing.  It is a waste of land, funds and building materials which was wasted to build this monstrosity, so that people can throw their excrement into the tomb.  That shows the amount of hatred for this demon.

Hating a corpse is as bad as worshipping one

A similar blog was posted more than a year ago which attracted numerous suggestions. I am just repeating what I said then.

By the time cyber-warriors such as us victoriously arrive in the homeland, our good fellow citizens in Iran will most likely have already taken care of Khomeini's shrine, either by digging up and robbing his grave or looting the mausoleum.  The only thing I can advise is that instead of focusing on vengeance and grudges, it is better to get our act together to fix the economy, the ethnic issues, international relations and work towards national unity.

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.
