Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had nothing but contempt for the ordinary citizens of Iran. In his own words, he saw them as “ignorant, incomplete and imperfect”.
Such was his contempt for those he was destined to enslave that he described them as nothing more than brutes, who would eventually destroy each other if left to their own devices. In his arrogant mind, he believed that it was only through his astute and strict leadership, they could be moulded into a unified nation.
He never really recognized the people’s part in bringing him to power, such was his egotism. He believed that it was he had reached the pinnacle through his own devices, having judiciously chosen his goals by unveiling the truth of religion, through which he was able to attain a position of absolute power and would lead Iran toward eventually dominating the world.
