Morteza Motahhari

1979 views on Velayat e Faghih, very different than Khomeini and Islamic Republic's

Wikipedia: Ayatollah Morteza Motahhari was an Iranian scholar, cleric, University lecturer, and politician. Motahhari is considered among the important influences on the ideologies of the Islamic Republic, and was a co-founder of Hosseiniye Ershad and the Combatant Clergy Association (Jāme'e-ye Rowhāniyat-e Mobārez). Motahhari was a disciple of Ayatollah Khomeini during the Shah's reign and formed the Council of Revolution of Iran at Khomeini's request.

I don't mean this as an affront to you personally, but reactionary attitudes like yours are a large part of why we are where we are today with the IRI.  Why are you taking refuge in conspiracy theories for a mass blunder by the Iranian people to bring about this regime?  Why can't we as a nation accept that we screwed up?  Why can't we learn from the Germans who grudgingly accepted their responsibility for the genocide?  Enough is enough.  Your talk of anti-Islam, tough GWB style of rhetoric, Ahura Mazda, most likely Monarchist, hasn't rid us of this regime for 32 years!  Just sit back and watch the Greens take back our country from these Zahaks in an evolutionary manner.  Iranian people are tired of revolutions and are moving towards evolutionary change.

Let me Re-Iterate ...

Jenab Rastgoo, as I said before, "The only good Mulla is a dead Mulla". That goes for all of them, Taleghani, Shariatmadari, Montazeri, Khatami, Karoubi.

Jenab Asadabad, please watch your language, we are all now supposed to call "Velayate Faghih", "Emperatoor Faghih". After what happened in Lebanon, then the coming together of Moghtada Sadr and Nouri Maliki, and then by the way Tunis is going the same way (Perhaps not the Shiat variation" but Islamic Republic regardless). And you know what, we all have Jimmy (The Peanut Farmer) Carter to thank for that, he is the US version of Ghareh Baghi, a traitor through and through. God help us all.

Payandeh Iran, our Ahuraie Fatherland

On a side note

I cant believe these naive Lebanese are letting thugs take control of their country.  It is looking more and more like a repeat of 1979.  The servants of the Iranian government are going to persecute the Lebanese people just like their masters back home. 

The Lebanese can kiss their freedoms goodbye.  Nasrallah said he supports VF, what are they thinking?

This is the proof that the revolution was hijacked by IRI gang!

by Jonny Dollar on Mon Jan 24, 2011 08:20 PM PST

It is all about power, not the religion. They only managed to trash eslam and hijack our religion along everything else. Regime wouldn't dare showing this on TV. Velayateh Faghih is at the root of the problem in the constitutiion.

Forqan

In all fairness we must add that Montahhari was assassinated in May 1979 (1 month after revolution) by the Forqan group.  So he never took part in the drafting of the constitution.  He was a scholar in the modern sense (as opposed to a Qom Mullah "scholar").  I think if he were alive he might have gone the way of Taleghani and Shariatmadari.

Now his own son is living under the "merciness" of the very idealogy or "ideologue" by which he(Motahari) created.

Fascinating diffrencers

by Jahanshah Javid on Mon Jan 24, 2011 02:03 PM PST

Isn't it wonderful that we have recorders? without them we wouldn't have gems like these. Listen to everything that Motahhari says about Velayat e Faghih and compared it with what's in the constitution as well as how Khamenei himself rules the land. If a reformist did a speech and gave Motahhari's exact interpretation, he could easily be charged with undermining the Islamic Republic of some other ridiculous charge. And Motahhari was not just another cleric. At the time he was probably closer to Khomeini than anyone else, politically and ideologically.
