Curious for your answer. It will determine if you are at all to be taken seriously on any level.

Sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reza_Shah#...the_clergy

I'm just responding to Mister Agenda's "maybe". It is debatable whether Iran was on a secular course or if the same thing would have happened anyway. Either way, guess what's in the way? Islam.

Congratulations on finding a wiki link. Trumps opening a book, actually do some research or having actually observed the development of the revolution. Might do you some good to look up, who originally stood at the forefront of the protests until the clerics - as has been already said by someone actually being there at the time - took control.
