Introduction
The purpose of this article is to lay out concrete evidence to dispel the myth that Iran (as they claim) is an Islamic State. Before we address this myth, we at iSiyasah.com would like to point out that all those claimants of "Islamic governments" of today are myths too. There is not one state today that adheres to the principles, rules, and laws that our beloved prophet (SaW) laid down with regards to statecraft and political practice. This
blog post is an attempt at demystifying and deconstructing one such
attempt via the "Islamic" Republic of Iran to pass itself off as the Islamic state or model for all other Muslims to emulate.
That being said, Iran is NOT an Islamic state.
