Irony

Progressive supporters of Mousavi in Iran keep telling me to ignore the Islamist rhetoric Of Mousavi and his invocation of the teachings of Khomeini and his calls for Allahu Akbar chants. They say that he only does that for political purposes. Back in 1978-79, the Iranian Communist Party made the same argument about Khomeini--until they were arrested and their leader executed.
