What a shallow, dumb and chidish reading of history. If you want to walk down that road, one can make the same silly argument and say that you white liberals are losers of American history because by making Killary your candidate you handed your
country on a silver platter to Trump who has wreaked permanent damage on it just as you are about to hand it back to Trump by making Biden your candidate. Be that as it may, America was never a democracy to begin with so Trump is a natural outcome of the
contradiction that is America. However, as hard as Khomeini tried to make Iran a complete theocratic dictatorship, he couldn't, since even he had to give some level of process and parliamentary democracy to the Islamic Republic -- and that is the legacy
of the Constitutional Revolution which is a direct legacy of the Bayanis. In other words, whether secular or religious, the shadow of the Bayan hangs long over Iran on all sides of the spectrum.
I'm not the one who joined a cult led by a toxic lunatic.
Yeah, you did. You joined the baha'i faith and continue to bat for them, Gomer: the baha'i faith founded and led by a toxic lunatic named Mirza Husayn Ali Nuri. Now go run along now and into the loving embrace of Michael Zargarov.
Correction: a toxic, murderous and meglomaniacal lunatic named Mirza Husayn Ali Nuri!
Additionally, without Ali Shariati there would have been no Islamic Revolution in Iran since Shariati and his father Mohammad-Taqi were both Bayanis, and were consistently accused as such by the mullahs. The speeches and writings of Ali Shariati
galvanized an entire generation and mobilized them for direct confrontation with the Shah's western propped comprador dictatorship. It is the legacy of Shariati's democratic socialist Shi'i Islam (which is in fact a not too carefully camouflaged Bayan
to those who know how to read between the lines) that prevented Khomeini and the Islamic Republic from sliding into a totalatarian theocratic dystopia. Given this, the democratic and socialist elements to the Islamic Republic of Iran today is indeed a
legacy of Ali Shariati and so by implication a legacy of the Bab. This means that not only have we won, but until the time that the mullahs finally sold out to Mammon and became more concerned in lining their own pockets and maintaining their power
rather than revolutionary principles (which is also when they started to jump into bed with the Baha'is), we managed to defeat the Baha'is and their malevolent influence and keep them from taking outright power in Iran. And since this is the case, you
may wish to reasses your ignorant and delusional pseudo-analysis of contemporary Iranian history and events, Gomer.
