The Islamic Revolution has proved to be the only counterpoint to the secular corruption of the repressive regimes that populate the Middle East and Central Asia. Islamic law is the the only bastion of belief that is politically unassailable by these regimes, for it is at the very heart of these societies belief systems. The attraction has been, to follow Allah's laws is to offer a moral and therefore a non corrupt path of governing.

In the 1970's the populace of Iran was drawn to the Islamic Revolution against the corrupt secularists of the Shah. The Islamist's offered a ray of hope that justice under Allah's laws would prevail. However Iran replaced secular repression with the theocratic repression of Allah's law. As long as the theocratic government of Iran was able to maintain its moral standing of being non corrupt it was able to maintain the support of the populace. Now with the all too apparent fraud of the Iranian elections the populace now sees that the theocratic government has become a corruption of Allah's law for its own ends. This has caused an uprising in the populace who have long been chafing under the moral repression of its theocratic leadership. . The hypocrisy has been exposed and the theocratic government is now seen as being as corrupt as the secular government of the Shah. This revelation that the followers of Allah's law are politically corrupt will in the end cause the fall of the theocratic leadership in Iran. This event is a watershed in the Islamic world whose ramifications no man can for see. This event in Iran is the beginning of bringing Islam out of the 14Th century and into the modern world of the 21st century.
