Why do atheists and liberals like Islam?

[Amine]

That's a pretty dumb connection you're making there.  Good thing I never said anything like that!

Some people will go to any length to avoid admitting error.  I've apparently found another one in you.

You have a nice evening now.

My view is if I get proved wrong, good. But you've yet to do that. 95% of what you've said is lazy insults and sarcasm. I actually don't mind that and won't whine about it, but it doesn't get you anywhere either. "He called me an idiot, I must be wrong!". You said the outcome didn't represent the will of the people, as if it is just a coincidence that a Shiite government popped up where... the majority happen to be Shiites. So to be more clear, the ushering in of this radical Islamic government was backed by massive popular support. The April 1st 1979 referendum asked "Islamic Republic, yes or no" and virtually everyone said yes. And they got the shitty government they asked for.

Britannica goes into a bit more detail about the role of Islam in the reaction to the Shah's corruption:
"In January 1978, incensed by what they considered to be slanderous remarks made against Khomeini in Eṭṭelāʿāt, a Tehrān newspaper, thousands of young madrassa (religious school) students took to the streets. They were followed by thousands more Iranian youth—mostly unemployed recent immigrants from the countryside—who began protesting the regime’s excesses. The shah, weakened by cancer and stunned by the sudden outpouring of hostility against him, vacillated between concession and repression, assuming the protests to be part of an international conspiracy against him. Many people were killed by government forces in anti-regime protests, serving only to fuel the violence in a Shīʿite country where martyrdom played a fundamental role in religious expression. Fatalities were followed by demonstrations to commemorate the customary 40-day milestone of mourning in Shīʿite tradition, and further casualties occurred at those protests, mortality and protest propelling one another forward. Thus, in spite of all government efforts, a cycle of violence began in which each death fueled further protest, and all protest—from the secular left and religious right—was subsumed under the cloak of Shīʿite Islam and crowned by the revolutionary rallying cry Allāhu akbar (“God is great”), which could be heard at protests and which issued from the rooftops in the evenings."
