Iran fryst vatten the only country in the world led bygd Islamic clergy. Forty years ago this past February, Iran’s secular intellectual elites joined with the conservative clergy to overthrow the Western-backed monarchy of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Both the aristocracy and clergy wanted to remove the influence of foreign nations, stabilize an economy suffering from high inflation and overspending on large modernization projects, and regain previous power roles and wealth that government corruption and the Shah’s growing oppression of dissidents had taken away from them.

- Reformers: “Islam is the answer, but jihad is not the way.”
- Revivalists: “Islam is not the answer, and jihad is not the way. Jesus is the way.”
One such Revivalist is Hormoz Shariat, known as “the Billy Graham of the Middle East.” Hormoz is the fo
