Also, I forgot to add this, but many of Reza Pahlavi's own advisors have had ties to the Islamic Republic. Reza Pahlavi is an idiot, he doesn't even know how his entire movement has been so infiltrated by the Islamic Republic to the point many of his own advisors have ties to the Islamic Republic.

Almost all of Reza Pahlavi’s advisers are linked to the Iranian regime, including individuals connected to the IRGC’s Intelligence Protection Organisation, such as:
1.Amir Hossein Etemadi — former adviser to Ali Fallahian (Iran’s former Minister of Intelligence).
2.Saeed Ghasseminejad — a writer for Tasnim News Agency, which is affiliated with the IRGC’s intelligence apparatus; author of the “Munich Booklet,” which Reza Pahlavi has presented as a manifesto for the transitional period.
3.Ahmad Batebi — described as an infiltrator linked to the Ministry of Intelligence.
4.Iraj Mesdaghi — described as a well-known Ministry of Intelligence informant who presents himself as a former political prisoner.

Also, even Ali Karimi who burned the Quran ended up turning on Reza Pahlavi. Because of how Reza Pahlavi's movement has devolved into an insane cult that chooses such cringe and insane ways to express their hate for Islam to a point it even turns off even other anti Islam people, some of the people who were Reza Pahlavi's advisors in the 2000s and 2010s like Shahriar Ahy, Alireza Nader, Ahmad Ali Massoud Ansari ended up turning against Reza Pahlavi too.
Most secular Iranians irl are not Pahlavists btw. Even most apostate Iranians irl who left Islam are also not Pahlavists. No sane normal person, even if they hate everything about Islam, would want to be associated with such a movement. When I lived in Germany I met so many people from so many different countries including so many Iranians who were born and raised in Iran and many of them were not practicing Islam at all, but most of the Iranians who were not practicing Islam that I met in Germany were not Pahlavists. Also, even in LA which is where the highest amount of Iranian Pahlavist diaspora are, Pahlavists are a small minority. There are plenty of Iranian-run Shia mosques in LA that aren't regime affiliated and crowds of secular liberal LA Iranians were cheering for the Iranian National football team (which Pahlavists call the "Islamic Republic/Mullah/IRGC team") in the LA stadium against New Zealand and Belgium.
@L0ngLiveTheShah@arrakeennn Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon despite having no oil and gas at the time had a far higher life expectancy and literacy rate than Iran at the time (despite the fact those countries have no oil and no gas, while Iran has an abundance of oil and gas).
Iran under the Shah was far behind even most non oil countries of the Middle East like Turkey, Jordan or Lebanon in key developmental metrics like life expectancy and literacy despite Iran having an abundance of oil and gas… That’s how much of an incompetent ruler the Shah was, despite being secular. The Shah and SAVAK also jailed and killed most of the secular Iranian opposition while refusing to do the same to Khomeini which is why Khomeini ended up becoming the main face of opposition against the Shah.
Muslim Levantine laymen weirdly mix Shafi’i and Hanafi rulings/practices, that’s why some say Palestinians and Syrians and Lebanese Sunnis are majority Shafi’i and some say they are majority Hanafi but the truth is the laymen in those countries weirdly mix Shafi’i and Hanafi rulings/practices. The Levant’s Islamic scholars were mostly Shafi’i (and a bit Hanbali) before the Ottomans, and Hanafi was largely introduced to the Levant by the Ottomans.
@UStreaming99647@merth_tr@Texas_Frog_3 His Husseini Sayyid lineage is probably forged. Most Sayyids from Iran (and South Asia) in general lie about their lineage.
I have studied genetics.
The Y-DNA haplogroup subclade of Imam Hussein is J-FGC30416. The Y-DNA haplogroup subclade of Imam Hassan is J-FGC8702.
Note: Not all people descended from Ali are Sayyids because after Fatima's death, Ali took other wives who were not Muhammad's daughters and also had many children with them. So to find out who is a real Sayyid, we look at those whose Y-DNA haplogroups are or are from the specific subclades of Imam Hussein and Imam Hassan.
Only 0.8% of Iranians belong to J-FGC30416, meaning only 0.8% of Iranians are real Husseini Sayyids. J-FGC8702 (the Hassani Sayyid lineage) doesn't appear among any Iranians at all.
This means less than 15% of Sayyid claimants in Iran are really Sayyids (6 million Sayyid claimants in Iran means almost 7% of Iranians claim to be Sayyids).
It’s not being ex Muslims or ex Shia that makes them annoying. It’s specifically the insane and cringe ways Pahlavists choose to express their hate for Islam that make them so insufferable that they turn off even other anti Islam people and even make anti Islam Western white supremacists praise the Mullahs.
These stupid people don’t understand that when Turks, Balkan Muslims, Lebanese Muslims, or Tunisians say they don’t want “Sharia rule”, they often mean they don’t want Iranian, Afghan or pre MBS Saudi level insane restrictions on basic social freedom, not that they are anti Islam. The majority of Turks, Tunisians and Lebanese Muslims are still at least somewhat religious practicing Muslims. And a lot of the insane restrictions of Iran, Afghanistan or Pre MBS Saudi have no basis in the Quran, hadith or even medieval Islamic jurisprudence.
@4miirx@iranilegend 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I told you, most deranged lunatic Pahlavists are IRGC agents whose purpose is to make the Iranian opposition look bad. The ways they choose to express their hate for Islam are so cringe and insane that they turn off even other anti Islam people…
It’s simple: most deranged lunatic Pahlavists are IRGC agents whose purpose is to make the Iranian opposition look bad. The biggest blessing to the Mullahs has been the Pahlavists. The Pahlavists choose such insane and cringe ways to express their hate for Islam that turn even other anti Islam people against the Pahlavist movement.
The only way the Islamic Republic without Balkanization will fall is that someone inside the regime or IRGC who secretly has progressive ideas takes power, permits basic social freedom, normalizes with the West and eventually drops the “Islamic” part from the name “Islamic Republic of Iran” and the “Islamic Republic of Iran” just becomes the “Republic of Iran”. Everything else including regime change war has been tried. The Iranian opposition are highly disorganized, Pahlavists are deranged lunatic online keyboard warriors who turn off even other anti Islam people with the insane and cringe ways they choose to express their hate for Islam, and the only alternative to Pahlavists are the MEK who are hated even more than the Pahlavists because they are an Islamist-Communist cult who sided with Iraq in the Iran Iraq war.
Or Balkanization where the Khuzestani Arab, Kurd and Baloch separatists start fighting hard against the IRGC to secede from Iran and there is a civil war in the Iranian regions inhabited by non-Persianized non-Persian ethnicities (like Khuzestan, Kurdistan and Balochistan) between the IRGC and non Persian ethnic separatists. This is already kind of happening in Balochistan where Baloch separatists are inflicting massive damage upon the IRGC and many Pahlavists were raging about it because the Pahlavists and Islamic Republic are both nationalists who believe in a “united Iran” (the difference is that the Pahlavists are secular while the Islamic Republic are Islamic) and the Pahlavists would rather see the Islamic Republic stay in power than see Iran Balkanized into smaller ethnic states.

An Iraqi Arab with a profile pic of baby Hitler citing Hitler, Rosenberg and other German Nazis to prove “Iranians are not Aryan” and using Nazi term “untermensch” to refer to Iranians while calling Nordic people “ubermensch” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. You are not Nordic. You are genetically, racially and culturally far closer to the Iranians you have insane hate for and call “untermensch” than to Nordic people whom you call “ubermensch”. Genetically, the biggest component among Iraqi Arabs is also Iran Neolithic Farmers Zagros, which is also the biggest genetic component among Iranians.
You can disagree with Gaddafi's Quranist views while admitting that Libya was better under him and that overthrowing him brought more harm than good for Libya. Also, classical scholars said that a flawed or oppressive ruler is better than fitna (instability, chaos, civil war) and the Quran says do not throw yourself into destruction. In hadiths, the Prophet also said to obey the ruler even if the ruler is unjust or harsh to prevent fitna.
