Interesting. You mean the ShahIran is a classic example of trying to modernize culturally a socially repressed people too much too quickly. When the Shaw was in power the place began looking like Europe complete with miniskirts and boogie bars. The Mullahs pointed at the "sinfulness " of women bare thighs and breasts barely contained in bras and all the modernized/Westernized cultural shifts (alcohol) were tossed out as a "reform" amid calls for piety.
It was basically a grab for power by using religion....not really a religion siezing power.
And at the crux of it all is a prophecy by Mohammed. One that Israel would never exist again after it fell in 70AD.
Because Islam has the same test for a false prophet as Judaism. (100% accurate or else it's a false prophet.) And with Israel existing the whole foundation of Islam is proven to be a defunct religion.
And that's a problem for the leadership of Muslims everywhere...leadership of a dead religion that is obviously a lie. Israel exists....otherwise they are upset about nothing.
The Koran becomes the ramblings of a madman instead of a prophet.
What would you do if a major portion of your identity was proven to be a lie?
