Iran before Islam took it back to the stone age.

The Shah worked out a fantastic social security system and was about to kick off before the Ayatollah struck. It will take at least half a century before Iran will get back to the pre revolution status.
Iran has always been a Muslim country since the begining of time. Several religions and culture existing side by side until America decided to destroy the middle east for their ally, Israel.

I quite agree with you.... Even though after the revolution, there were some up springs of extremists, but the middle East was destroyed by the US.... Even a toddler knows that.

The president before the revolution was supported by the United States and the country was highly westernized.

The revolution was caused by Islamic extremists.

The country became the Islamic Republic of Iran after the revolution.

There was a referendum passed then.

Stop blaming the United States for everything.

You won’t talk about the radical imam who declared war against sovereignty and declared war on Iraq, Baghdad, Yemen and other countries.

You won’t talk about the Iraq Iran war where Iraq invaded most of Iran. Iran started the war and it backfired on them.

Lots of people lost life and the country fell.

You won’t make any analysis or research at all. You'll just blame the United States for everything.

Sure they have their own mess but don't blame them for everything.

when you don't know something, ask and learn. stop insulting people.

for your information before the late 70's and early 80's most of Iran were Zoroastrians by faith. If you want to know how the middle east (from Iran) became the hell hole that it is today then go and study some history about Ayatollah Khomeini, he ruined the middle east with radical islam as you see today, the foundations he laid with brainwashed muslim sheep is what has kept the large part of the middle east the horrible way they are up till today...


as you can see above from explorers, life in the middle east used to be just like in europe, but the idiiot bastardd ruined the whole region with stupidity... shame

The Shah destroyed Iran and it was his slavish loyalty to the west against the interest of his people that forced a greater number of Iranians to jump into the hands of the Ayatollahs.. I don't even know what you mean by the "pre revolution status" of Iran. . . Iran of today is by far more economically, militarily and diplomatically powerful than the Shahs Iran..

I'm shocked at the bolded.

Agreed that the dynasty of the Shah's was rightly ended because of widespread revolutions to end monarchy world over and embrace democracy. It happened in France, Russia, China, Germany, Japan etc. Iran's revolution was therefore in order.

But saying Iran under the Ayatollahs is better than Iran under the Shahs cannot be true.

Data can't lie.. Unless you are talking about liberalism in terms of social life, as we can see in the pictures folks seem far more liberal in terms of their outlook/dressing and general social life back then. . . Apart from that, Iran of today trounces that of the Shah in almost every other facet. . Iran is manufacturing more, Iran is exporting more, militarily, Iran is most probably the force to reckon with in the middle east with the exception of Israel. Diplomatically, Iran is influencing policies from Syria through Yemen to even the US (read the Iran nuclear deal). In fact there is no comparison. Shahs Iran was just there. Iran has made monumental strides in terms of serious technological advancements/education within the last 30-40 years. Does that take away the fact that there has been a certain level of repression and authoritarianism on the part of those who consider themselves as the "guardians of the revolution" in Iran? No.

It was a contorted version of "radical Islamism".. Take a look at Afghanistan of the pre-Taliban era. Look at the pictures of those pretty Afghan gals. . . , dressing freely and moving freely. That was the nature of life in Afghanistan even under the rule of different Soviet supported governments. All that changed when the CIA/Americans invented Al-Qaeda/Taliban and used the fierce Saudi supported ideology behind that movement to rally enough support just to overthrow the Soviet supported governments there. The Taliban came in and destroyed "modern Afghanistan" and then came up with the most conservative dress codes and social planning for Afghans. . For over four decades, the Taliban worked hard to catapult the unfortunate Afghans back to prehistoric existence while the Americans left immediately the Soviet Union disintegrated.. . Old habits die hard. The Taliban has been defeated, but her teachings seem to have stuck hard till this day..

American-iranian etc. what if they were the only ones in the picture.. do you watch farsi tv or ifilm before you can conclude this are iranians.. and the afghanistan pictures so nothing but a similitude to what the iranian pictures show.. its the westerners who were there to enforce their culture on them via western education.. why was a picture from prayer ground or quaranic graduation or a maket not shown... we all know how schools were in those day.. another propaganda news from mainstream outlet
