Anatomy of a Revolution - 01 Feb 09 - Part 3

After decades of royal rule millions of Iranians took to the streets in a popular movement against a regime that was seen as brutal, corrupt and illegitimate. Revolutionary forces, under the leadership of Grand Ayatollah Khomeini, forced the Shah of Iran into exile. His government was overthrown and replaced by a new Islamic order. The Islamic revolution put Iran on a new path - one that brought it to war with its neighbour and ongoing conflict with the West. Anatomy of a Revolution tells this story.

Religion is a delusion, in which the human mind creates unproven beliefs, & then demands belief by those who state they speak for god/allah. The problem is the psychology of religion, and how the religious mind becomes self delusional, to the point that if we defy the religious and insist on facts, and the right to our own existence, we are threatened through Blackmail and Extortion that we will be sent to hell to suffer forever. OK: Where is hell?. What's the address?

@dvwxxx WOW, I said the same thing 30 yrs ago. I wish you the best of luck. Indeed, the journey to God (whatever religion) is a personal one. And I do know for sure, that hell does exist. Its in that space between the ears. And glimpses of paradise are also there, if you so choose. HOW, its up to you. Best wishes.......

peace/salam

Al Jazeera is the voice of Arab tyrants and puppets who are afraid of the oppressed Arab peoples following the path of Iranians.

What can you expect from Al Jazeera but lies and lies.

Because morality does not come from religion. It comes from God living in us. We all can be righteous. But it is not for any one man to dictate God's will nor law. This is one of the many reasons all religions are foolish. God is perfect, man is flawed. This is obvious in observing the Torah, Koran and Bible. Same God yet different religions. And within each one sects who cant agree. Each thinks theirs is the only way. In an infinite universe, this is absurd. All religion is wrong. God is love.
