I just read an article posted to this site that claims Khomeini, the so-called father of the Islamic Republic, wasn't Persian but was the son of a Kashmiri woman and a British father. Have you heard any rumors to that effect? The article said that Khomeini had invented a fake background for himself and wasn't an authentic Ayatollah. Quite a bomb shell if true. I noticed that alot of Iranians are very resentful of the British and heard more than one say that Khomeini and the revolution were backed by the British. I never really understood their disdain for the British as it seemed to me that they had nothing to gain from the toppling of the Shah.

You are right. Khomeini had an Indian root. Remember that Black turban mullahs have Arabic ancestors.
And it is a long story why we blame British.
