Persians in Iran have been Muslim, ruled by some form of Muslim overlords, since the 7th Century.

27% roughly of Iran identifies as openly Muslim in polling

This was undoubtedly higher before a totalitarian theocracy came in a took away literally all of their rights which would’ve understandably turned off many from Islam

That may be true, but how much of that 27% identifies as Muslim because they have to identify as Muslim? I'm not saying they're Christian, and so what if they are Muslim, but the point remains the government that we just eliminated forced that shite upon those people.

They overthrew another totalitarian regime that was led by a Muslim, and 90% of the country (ish) was Muslim when that regime took over.

This echo chamber talking point trying to separate Persians and Iran from Muslims is retard-level stuff.

As I said, the Persians in Iran have been ruled by some form of Muslim overlord since the 7th century.

Current regime - Muslim
Pahlavi dynasty - Muslim
Qajar dynasty - Muslim
Zand dynasty - Muslim

Mohammad Mosaddegh was also a Muslim.

You could call the Shaw a dictator if you want, although I think you could just as easily call him a traditional monarch who wielded power as one did, which modernity would call a dictator.

To call him totalitarian is just false by definition. The Persians enjoyed immense rights under him

Yeah I will, because he was.

We are already dealing with revisionist history with the Muslim stuff. Let's not add on more with the Shah not being a dictator.

When you create a civil war/revolution due to your brutality and widespread police state, it's splitting hairs, but I'll let you have this one.

When you have a secret police to eliminate dissent and engage in torture, it gets a bit grey

Important To Understand: The people who govern Iran aren’t even Iranian or Persian. They are Arab Islamists

This is ignorance on stilts. The Supreme Leader of Iran was an Azeri. Azeri’s are about 1/3 of Iran’s population. Iran (Persia) was converted to Islam in the 7th century AD. The Persian people are mostly Muslim.
