Ideology of the Revolution

• Summarized as…
  -eliminating of the corruption and cruel political domination of the Pahlavi Rule
  -an end to policies that helped the wealthy at the expense of the poverty-stricken
  -and freedom from foreign -- particularly from un-Islamic and from American -- economic and cultural domination and exploitation
  
  

• Muslim’s beliefs guided the revolution and Ayatollah Khomeini was their undisputed leader
  


• Slogans such as “Independence, Freedom, and Islamic Republic” and “Death to the Shah” were popular, as were “Islam, Islam, Khomeini, We Will Follow You,” and even “Khomeini for King.”
