Ideology of the Iranian Revolution

The Iranian Revolution's ideology has been called a "complex combination" of Pan-Islamism, political populism, and Shia Islamic "religious radicalism" (Ervand Abrahamian); "a struggle against paganism, oppression, and empire" (Bernard Lewis). The diverse ideological interpretation of Islam within the grand alliance that led to the 1979 revolution were Khomeinism, Ali Shariati’s Islamic-left ideology (Nikki Keddie), Mehdi Bazargan’s liberal-democratic Islam.
