By Micah Halpern
Saturday July 25, 2009 I've Been Thinking: This week's major Friday sermon in Teheran was delivered by The Ayatollah Sayid Mohammed Khatami. Khatami made his point because The Supreme Leader, The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, wants him to - and conformity to religious authority is a central part of Iranian politics. It is important to know that before Mousavi became a serious presidential candidate, the chief reformist candidate was Khatami. It is interesting and perhaps even ironic to note that Ahmadinejad is trying to carve out some independence for himself and for his position. We saw some of this toward the end of his previous tenure. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. 4 June 2017 12:13 PM in Thoughts
