The people of Iran have the very government their parents and grandparents rioted for in 1979.

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

Enjoy!

No, they do not

The revolution that overthrew the Shah was a mix of everyone from the religious to socialists, nationalists - basically everyone who opposed the Shah's autocratic rule

Then the Islamic party basically killed over everyone else and took over

This was a parallel to what happened in 1917 in Russia - the March revolution overthrew the Tsar and the October revolution was the Bolsheviks killing off the other guys.
