If you understand history this period was also very oppressive. There's a reason there was a revolt.

Well they literally overthrew the government so maybe instead of being Islamophobic you learn the history of Persia/Iran.

The Islamic Republic is not ISIS, it's not even comparable.

The Pahlavi Dynasty, as backed by Western oil interests from The US and English governments, were arguably just as oppressive. That's the important history that Islamophobic posts like this purposely leave out. The Iranians of this time didn't have freedom either.

It depends on what freedoms we're talking about. For example, a republic (albeit a very flawed one) is much better than an Authoritarian Monarchy.
