Which exiled religious leader led the religious opposition to western influences in Iran?
No one - Ayatollah Khomeini had VERY DIFFERENT ideals to the regime set up that used his name (we must remember, Khomeini was very poorly healthwise by the 1980s and a lot of things were done in his name that he would not approve), he was exiled in France (the West) and his pre-revolutionary tapes did not feature anti-Western culture propaganda or repression. In fact, the original ideas of those who lead the revolution inclusive of Khomeini favoured a French style republic. The real (much more moderate Khomeini) and the popular image (an image largely forged by those who spoke in his name when Khomeini himself was sick) are very different. If Khomeini had good health, Iran would be very different today.
