Thousands laid down their lives to oppose this regime and its medieval rule, thus making it illegitimate since its early days, showing that this regime has no link to Islam and is misusing the religion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Contrary to what Alamolhoda claims, there are numerous verses in the Holy Quran that demonstrate how much Islam values people\u2019s opinions and choices. One of the most notable verses is from Surah Al Imran (3:159) of the Quran urging the prophet to \u201cconsult them in the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Watch and judge how the representative of the Supreme Leader of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iranian?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iranian<\/a> regime in Mashhad is resorting to unconventional methods to coerce turnout for the upcoming sham elections. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rML6uoyQth\">pic.twitter.com\/rML6uoyQth<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1754765619365552525?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 6, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But what Alamolhoda said, once again laid bare the principle of the \u201cAbsolute Rule of Clergy,\u201d in which an entire populace is considered \u201cminor\u201d and needs a \u201cguardian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many of the regime\u2019s top officials have blatantly said this point throughout the last four decades. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/persian\/iran\/2014\/02\/140211_l39_azari-qomi_yaghoobi\">Ahmad Azari Qomi<\/a>, once claimed that \u201cEverything on earth, whether people, animals, or even plants, are under the Supreme Leader\u2019s command.
