Comments on this Page

1. Khomeini is a name and should be capitalized as such. The claim that he was considered a "Grand Ayatollah" is exaggerated.
2. The name of the cleric whom Hashemi had murdered is not given.
3. The claim that said cleric had been murdered for insulting Khomeini is not documented and contradicts the well-documented issue for which he was actually murdered but which is never mentioned in this article: Mehdi Hashemi's championing of the controversial book Shahid-e Javid. This cleric had launched a bitter attack on the book's heretical claims about Imam Husein's uprising against Caliph Yazid. It is likely that since Ayatollah Montazeri was a prominent supporter of Ayatollah Khomeini that SAVAK had a hand in promoting this rivalry.
4. The claim that Mehdi Hashemi was supported as an innocent victim of the Shah's persecution is only partially true. Many were skeptical about this.
5. I doubt very much that there was much of a debate in the regime about supporting Amal or not. Amal's supporters had long been purged from the regime during the "Second Revolution" (the hostage taking).
6. "several sources" and "some sources" needs to be made specific.
7. Reyshahri himself stated that Hashemi "confessed" after having been subjected to تعزیر, which amounts to torture. This is not an "unsympathetic" source.
8. A much more detailed source than the onces used is http://iran.qlineorientalist.com/Articles/MehdiHashemi/MehdiHashemi.html, which is inexplicably neglected.
