Iran: Underlying Dualistic Spirituality

58

History is a collection of data and information that is passed from generation to generation hoping to be as truthful as possible. We all know that our memory doesn’t record flawlessly our experiences like a tape camera, but we tend to rely on what we have gained and record it. What I am about to reveal is about the things I personally witnessed and recorded in my memory with certainty.

I can attest with certainty that during my younger years in Iran, Islam was out of people’s life. What I mean is people in Iran never thought that this ideology was part of their life. Those who wished to practice it were free to do so and those who didn’t, nobody dragged them and forced them to do their Islamic rituals. In other words, religion in Iran was a very private matter and to some very irrelevant.

History proves that before the arrival of Pahlavi’s dynasty, Iranian women were extremely oppressed and had absolutely no rights. Reza Shah Pahlavi altered that immediately. Next thing you know, the lives of Persian women radically and drastically improved. Iranian women became part of the Persian society and were free. Reza Khan treasured the idea of restoring the Iranian nation and leading it on the path of progress. He loved Iran. His son, Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, known as King of Kings, also followed his father and bestowed upon Iranian women absolute rights, including the right to vote.

Story continues below advertisement

Once the modern dynasty was forced to leave Iran by the will of Western powers, the destiny of Persian women went back to the dark ages. Once the Islamic invasion of 1979 occurred and Ayatollah Khomeini was installed by Jimmy Carter, the Islamic Republic of Iran was established. Iranian women’s freedom was taken away while they were forced to wear the Islamic veil while they were segregated by gender.

When I read, or talk about history, it is always with a grain of salt. I know that I was not present 2500 years ago to witness Cyrus the Great’s accomplishments. I must rely on the Greeks, or the Jews documents to make some sense out of it. However, this time around, I was there and I saw it all with my own eyes. So, there isn’t any misconception.

In Western media, I frequently and erroneously read that the Ayatollah Khomeini ousted Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in an Islamic revolution.

Well, nothing could be further from the truth. The former Shah of Iran could have eliminated Khomeini in less than a second had he chosen to. But, he didn’t. Why? For a verity of reasons. One of which, he loved his country and wanted to avoid more bloodshed. No, this Quran trained, Shi’a cleric, who could barely speak Persian, never ousted the King of kings. This illiterate Islamic Shi’a was installed by foreign powers and notably, Jimmy Carter for the sole purpose of their own benefit, mostly for oil.

So, next time you see or use your pen in describing how one of Iran’s greatest and most powerful Persian patriots left his beloved country on his own, never assume he was kicked out by an old Shi’a cleric. The Shah of Iran voluntarily decided to leave his country just because he wanted to save the lives of those people who not only backstabbed him, but they had plans to purge pre-Islamic heritage and turn Iran into a 7th century Arab looking state. History must always be as accurate as passible, especially the recent ones.

OK, let’s return to another historic event that is currently taking place in Iran, under the noses of the Mullahs.

During the time I lived in Iran, most Iranians were not religious, but they had to pretend they were. Iranians for the past 1400 years have been pretending to be Muslim, when in fact, they weren’t. They could not read the Quran in Arabic. And even if they did, they could not understand a word of it or its interpretation. Iranians were completely into Persian celebration and festivities. Anything related to Islam meant absolutely nothing to them. So again, they pretended that they understood Islam and they were very much Muslim.

Who could blame them? They were living in a Muslim country with some devout Muslim relatives and some neighbors who also pretended they were devout Muslims.  The reality was, no one had the slightest idea what Islam was all about. I say this because I witnessed it. Every single vision they had about Islam was created out of their own goodness. That’s why they still blame the mullahs for destroying their peaceful and beautiful Islam they relatively enjoyed during the Shah.

During the reign of the Shah of Iran, most Iranians truly believed Islam was a very peaceful and the perfect book of Quran was sent by God. Meanwhile, they did not know a word of it. It was all based on  a figment of their imagination. If you were a good and honest person, then Islam you believed in was a reflection of yourself. Iranians were also told that Muhammad was the last in the line of prophets, beginning with Adam, and including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elijah, John the Baptist, and Jesus. And Muhammad’s book, the Quran is the complete compilation of the revelation of Allah to Muhammad. Many ordinary Iranians believed it, but they never read it or understood it. They mostly riled on their slave holds to interpret it, the Mullahs.

All these lies and deception continued until the arrival and invasion of real Islam by the Ayatollah Khomeini. Only then Iranians, not only saw it, but witnessed what real Islam looked like. Most Iranians began having a difficult time believing the violent Islam under Khomeini was the true Islam, not the peaceful version under the Shah. They became frustrated and disappointed overnight, and entered the phase of confusion. Most people perhaps don’t realize that 1400 years of non-stop Islamic indoctrination cannot evaporate overnight.

After forty years of non-stop Islamic propaganda, force prayers, and massive indoctrination, a great number of Iranians have completely abandoned Islam for good. It backfired on the Mullahs. The mullahs could not have even envisioned how quietly Iranians left Islam by the thousands. Not only that,  Christianity has become the fastest growing religion in Iran.

Again, facts are facts. Iranians devoid of spirituality, found Christianity, not only a religion of peace, but something close to their hearts. Iran is changing faster than we all can imagine.

the “western powers” did not force the shah out…it was solely the act of jimmy carter. the suffering he has caused to hundreds of millions of people worldwide over the last 40 years belongs solely at his feet. that pious pos goes around hammering nails for photo ops with habitat for humanity, while having the blood, guts, and body parts of those slaughtered by muslims hanging off of him

Jimmy “The Worthless One” Carter played a role. However, the majority of the blame falls squarely on the VAST majority of the people of ireene. NO American, or other Western power’s tanks went rolling down the streets of any city in ireene. It was the people, the VAST majority of the people, of ireene, that did this to ireene.

Did Jimmy “The Worthless One” Carter sell the canal zone? Didn’t he just give it away, in 1977? At first, pursuant to the treaty, only 60% was given away. However, little by little, as stated in said treaty, by December 31, 1999 ….all of it was given away.

I know an Iranian Christian (born a Christian) and he even served in the Iranian special forces with distinction during the Iran-Iraq war but was so persecuted for his faith that he had to leave/escape Iran and find sanctuary in the UK.
He’s now a very patriotic Briton (naturalised) and can be found at many of the anti islam and anti EU demonstrations. He knows the koran inside out and ridicules the ignorant muzrats at every opportunity.
He’s also a great supporter of Trump and i expect I will see him amongst us welcoming the president on his state visit in June.

I cannot buy into the LIE that Western powers were responsible for the complete moslem takeover of ireene. When the U.S. embassy was attacked, it wasn’t Western powers … it was ireenian moslems. I did not see any Western power’s tanks rolling down the streets of any city, in ireene. I saw ireenian moslems … NOT Western powers. Isn’t it fascinating how moslems ALWAYS attempt to affix blame, for the very actions that THEY took, onto others? NO, it was the people of ireene that did this. The moslems of ireene.

Exactly my sentiments. There’s a lot of make believe written in this report and I was an eye witness to pre Khomeni Iran being there in 1977. Even then there were many women wearing shrouds though in the centre of Tehran I would also see many women in western clothing but come the evening and every woman had to be escorted by a male otherwise they would be in danger of harassment attack and rape.
Iran was heavily influenced by The USA and Britain so I can see absolutely no reason why Carter would want to replace the westernised and friendly Shah with the Islamist and hostile Ayatollah Khomeni who hated the USA to the very core of his rotten being.

I didn’t see American tanks rolling down the streets of Tehran, or U.S. troops marching through the streets, squealing “alleyhooackbur”. The military of ireene didn’t pull a coup … they went along with the moslem takeover. The inhabitants (notice it is “inhabitants” as opposed to “people”) didn’t resist … they were FULLY behind it.

This is true there are photos on line showing women in bikinis on Iranian beaches, that would get the women in jail if anyone dared to do so today. Iran was quite a liberal country until the Mullahs took over. It is one of the greatest examples to the true and oppressive nature of Islam. Plus they are not ‘holy’ men but men who are materialistic and have greatly enriched themselves.

I sympathize with the author and believe her observations on Iran and the Persian people are correct, but the fact remains that the Islamic Republic is an existential threat to the security and survival of Israel and that great threat needs to be immediately addressed. The time for waivers is over. Trump, Bibi, and the Saudis need to close down the Iranian oil loading facilities by air strikes while protecting the Straits Of Hormuz. This will bring about the total collapse of the already teetering Iranian economy.At the same time we must support the Iranian resistance, crush the mullahs, and restore the Pahlavi’s who must eliminate the Muslims from Iran completely and totally. Islam is a threat to their dynasty, to the people and to the world. Iran is a good place to start annihilating the Islamic threat to the world.

Geraldo Rivera just took a picture with Zarif claiming Iran an ancient country isn’t as bad as Saudia Arabia that just executed religious minorities like the shiites.

I guess Geraldo forgot that Iran routinely hangs homosexuals and stones women and throws anything in prison who disagrees with them.

I guess Geraldo likes supporting terrorist ministers. Iran’s leaders continually threaten Israel with missiles to destroy the only Jewish state- doesn’t seem to bother the narcisstic Gerald Rivera one bit.

These Hollywood phonies are so stupid. Geraldo only cares about being on TV and taking photos even if its with Zarif a true anti-semite that has promised to destroy Israel.

I wanted to share this lady’s view of growing up there on my Facebook page but it was blocked as other readers listed it as objectionable.

You mention him being installed by Carter the sycophant and all of the Western Governments, and rightly so. I would like to add (if I may), that the overwhelming majority of people are not aware of the fact that France kept the
Ayatollah Khomeini living in the lap of absolute luxury and splendor in a palatial residence in Southern France during the entirety of his exile. Then played a huge role in financing his return, because when he went into exile, he didn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. I have met about 15 or 20 Iranians over 50 years of age, living in Canada. They all get teary eyed and then enraged at how their beloved country has turned into a toilet bowl, by these muzzie crazies. (I just read some comments criticizing your article re; the West’s involvement.) A modicum of research will show that the Deep State was deeply involved. Democrats have always supported islam and Khomeini, to promote the NWO and secondarily the oil prices. Carter despises Jews and Israel and if it wasn’t for Reagan the prisoners would still be there. in graves. Obama giving 150 billion American taxpayers dollars in CASH no less supports this as well. It is so important to remember and know that the NWO plan for World Hegemony has been going on for well over 100 years.

What an irony, because of Islam, its hatred, violence, intolerance and cruelty, Iranian Muslims are finding Christianity while the utterly foolish West has turned away from Christianity – to nothing, and nothing but stupidity, political correctness, LGBTQ embracing with its lies and deception, cowardice. With this has come lack of vision, stupidity and no will to fight for freedom, free speech, and decency. Back in 1978 the great Russian dissident, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, in his Harvard Commencement Address gave a warning of what was taking place in the West and the response was mostly one of loathing and rejection from liberal academics who, devoid of wisdom, were blind to what they were helping create. Now their idiocy is upon the West.
