The Fall Of Islamic Theocracy?

What good Catholic would defy the Pope? What good Democrat would tell Obama he's wrong-headed? What good Republican would say that Rush Limbaugh is out of step with the times? You can come up with your own answer; however, speaking out at God (wherever he may be) isn't deemed a good thing though that's what's happening in Iran right now!

The word most often spoken from around the world is UNPRECEDENTED!

The decisive margin of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's victory in the June 12 election stunned many observers and angered his opponents' supporters, who in the ensuing days took to the streets in protest by the hundreds of thousands. Many experts have called the effect unprecedented: Several powerful figures have openly supported the top challenger, Mir Hossein Moussavi, even as the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has endorsed the official results favoring Ahmadinejad.

Social networking sites such as Twitter, Iranians have been able to get around the government's efforts to restrict media coverage, and the outcry against the election result has intensified. It's not your daddy's Oldsmobile! In fact the car itself doesn't exist any more.

At Friday prayers in Tehran, Khamenei told a partisan audience the "ruling elites" would be "held accountable for all violence and blood and rioting."

After the revolution in the 70's, he regime's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, laid out his special interpretation of political Islam in a series of lectures in 1970. In this interpretation of Shia Islam, Islamic jurists had divinely ordained powers to rule as guardians of the society, supreme arbiters not only on matters of morality but politics as well. When Khomeini established the Islamic Republic of Iran, this idea was at its heart. Last week, that ideology suffered a fatal wound.

I don't know about you but the last thing I want to see in America is any religious group leading our government. Regardless of their religious credentials I don't want Focus on The Family, The 700 Club, or TBN running our government. God FORBID! And, it just may be coming a forbidden concept in Iran as well.
