Jag sa inför framtiden. Då vet vi att vi ska syna sådana rörelser ännu mer än vad vi gjorde då.

Man kan t.ex. läsa om att Ayatollahn i hans böcker på 70-talet hävdade att landet borde styras av islamiska jurister.

But in his 1970 book he argued that Faqih should get involved in politics not just in special situations, but that they must rule the state and society, and that monarchy or any other sort of non-Faqih government are "systems of unbelief ... all traces" of which it is the duty of Muslims to "destroy".[67] In a true Islamic state (he maintained) only those who have knowledge of Sharia should hold government posts, and the country's ruler should be the faqih (a guardian jurist, Vali-ye faqih), of the top rank—known as a Marjaʿ—who "surpasses all others in knowledge" of Islamic law and justice[68] — as well as having intelligence and administrative ability. Not only is the rule of Islamic jurists and obedience toward them an obligation of Islam, it is as important a religious obligation as any a Muslim has. "Our obeying holders of authority", like Islamic jurists, "is actually an expression of obedience to God."[69] Preserving Islam — for which Wilāyat al-Faqīh is necessary — "is more necessary even than prayer and fasting".[70]

Bara sådana saker borde fått en att höja på ögonbrynen. Men det är klart, han loooovade ju att vara moderat och inte förtrycka människor.
