[edit] Contradictory statement
"A student to Ayatollah Khomeini, he was born in the town of Taleqan in the Alborz mountains."
"Ayatollah Taleghani was not a student of Khomeini.They were contemporaries and not students of one another."
?!
[edit] POV
The article states: "..during the pro-Western monarchial rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi." This is definitely POV. Although the Shah had allies in the West, his "rule" cannot be called pro-Western on this page. The sentiment that the Shah was pro-Western was introduced by the revolution (i.e. posters that said the Shah was the dog of the Americans) and is not accepted by all. There are many instances of the Shah standing up to the West (i.e. raising the price of oil). Even if the Shah had policies that were favorable to the West, his "rule" cannot be characterized as pro-Western. Furthermore, it is repetitive to say that his rule was monarchial. It is obvious his rule was monarchial based on his title, Shah. Would it be fair that when the Islamic Republic is mention it is preceded by "the anti-Western theocratic rule"? In this case it is also repetitive, because it is obvious it is a theocracy (based on its name). I propose that the phrase "..during the pro-Western monarchial rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi" be changed to "..during the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi." I will implement this change if there are no objections. Agha Nader 22:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Agha Nader
