| Zusammenfassung: | An extract from Ayatollah Motahari's speeches to illuminate the theoretical arguments of the clergy as they comment on the political development of the revolution. A distinction is drawn between the Islamic revolution and revolutionary Islam, the latter being denounced as merely a tool used by the urban guerrillas for achieving a socialist revolution. Motahari claims that the revolution in Iran was not fuelled by social or economic forces, but by revulsion against the un-Islamic behaviour of the Shah. Although categorical about the total success of the revolution, he ends with a note of caution, remarking that should the Islamic government prove brutal and oppressive, then the forces who advocate a revolutionary Islam might find popular support. (DÜI-Asd) |
