Kemal Ataturk in Turkey and Reza Shah Pahlavi were involved in modernizing, secularizing, and Westernizing their countries.

Weakening of the Clergy: Many of these political reforms were done to increase the secularization , as a result, the Muslim clergy, which had historically had a large role in governance of the Turkish and Iranian States had their political roles threatened. Education, which had previously been religious, was stripped of that element, which further weakened the clergy and the religion. Finally, both leaders jailed clerics they disagreed with and standardized weekly sermons in order to direct the religion in the country.

Westernization Values: Westernization imparts different social values than the ones that Islamic clerics considered valuable. For example, Westerners value a person more often by his productivity than by his character and humility. This resulted in vast infrastructural developments, industrial growth, and an opening to international commerce.

Nationalism over Pan-Islamism: Both Turkish and Iranian Reforms strengthened nationalist ideologies and supported the uniqueness of Turks and Iranians by discussing their particular histories and values. This resulted in the development of new historical narratives.
