I think your take is dead wrong. What we are seeing in Iran is nothing less than the beginning of the Islamic Reformation.

The vast majority of Iranians under 30 HATE Islam now, in their hearts they are blaming Islam for the misery infilcted on their society for 24 years.

They don't want a "division of mosque and state", they want the mullahs CRUSHED.

What made Ayn Rand (author of "Atlas Shrugged") such a hater of Socialism, was growing up in Russia just after the Russian Revolution, and seeing what happened to her formerly-middle-class family.

The mullahs have made the old middle-class poor. There is no surer way to violent revolution. The middle class must realize that if they allow the mullahs to retain any foothold in Iran, no matter how slight, there will be endless trouble from them, as they try to regain power. There is the possibility that the revolution, when it finally comes, will make the French Revolution look like a day at the beach. The longer it is suppressed, the bigger the final explosion will be

Agree, and about 70 % of the Iranian population is less than 30, so this will make a nice majority.

They don't want a "division of mosque and state", they want the mullahs CRUSHED.

I anticipate that they want both.
