So what though? Iran/Persia was also a secular Monarchy for over 3,000 years and even post-Islam. It’s only been an Islamic Republic since 1979. They were that percentage Shia Muslim then too and no one was forcing anything down their throats when they chose a secular Monarchy post-Islam and pre- Islamic Republic (even if we do argue that we installed the Shah that’s only 40 years out of thousands of years of Secular Monarchy). What does Iran being 97% shia have to do with anything given the aforementioned?
I’m afraid the ignorance about Iran and the bigotry toward all muslims have reached a high point here at FR. The days of “Regime Change Iran” are gone.
Sad.
Shias are Muslims, not Infidels.
What the Shah's son represents and proposes are Infidel Ideas.
A practicing Muslim would reject those Infidel ideas, just like Infidels would reject Muslim Sharia Law.
The very fact that the Shah's sons ideas might get some traction with so-caled Muslims in Iran shows me there ae a lot of Muslim heretics in Iran, including the Shah's son. -tom
