IAFF 3188 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Ruhollah Khomeini, Islamism, Islamic Culture
Document Summary
Islamism vs nationalism: egypt & north africa. Muslim brotherhood in jordan still exists as a political party. Shah of iran fled the country after ayatollah khomeini came. Iran was producing a lot of oil and keeping it in american banks. One of the first things the ayatollah did. Shah fled to the u. s and wanted money back for oil, us would not give money back as long as iran held the hostages. Shah for treason: iran started the animosity with america. Before that, there were no problems: a lot of things that the u. s did. Morsi elected president of egypt, 51. 4% of the vote went to mb. Why morsi failed (did things inexcusable but understandable): said we will have a new constitution, was a member of mb his entire adult life. Something about 9/11 and jews: went to iran to establish relationships, was an overreach. Gave talk with leaders, made an ass of himself. saudi.
