Muslims never called the people of the conquered lands as conquered people. They freed their will to have the full freedom to select the faith they are convinced in. They followed the Quran teachings and never oppressed people to convert to Islam. They treated all people equally irrelevant to their races, colors, faiths, or social status. They never imposed additional taxes on non Muslims. The only tax that is called "Jezia" was imposed on non Muslims for forgiving them from joining the military service and that is why it was not imposed on women, children, old people, or sick people.

Iran is a militaristic regime that pours all of its resources into preparing for war with countries like the United States. At the time Iran had a military might comparable to India's today. Iraq had a decent military but a complete retard by the name of Saddam Hussein happened to be commanding it, his irrational R&D projects, and military budgeting, combined with his lavish super expensive lifestyle drove his government into debt pretty rapidly, which is why he had the military invade Kuwait, which is where the United States stepped in and launched Operation Desert shield, and then later Operation desert storm.

Why did muslims in Iran overthrow their shah?
Almost all of Iran is made of Muslims, so the question is almost analogous to asking why Iranians revolted. Iranians in general were opposed to the Shah and opposed him from nearly every political perspective. These include:
- Some said that the Shah was not religious enough
- Some believed that the Shah's policies were too oppressive
- Some believed that the Shah was modernizing without preserving Iran's cultural heritage and others were angry that he was moving too slowly
- Some believed that the Shah was a sellout to foreign interests and others believed his foreign focuses were too narrow.
- Some believed that the Shah did not grant women enough rights and others thought that women had too many rights.
- Some believed that the Shah should have encouraged more middle class growth and others believe he should have put more capital into industry.
- Some wanted more privatization and others wanted more nationalization.
As concerns the specific reasons for the Iranian protests and the eventual revolution, they were numerous:
Wealth & Employment Issues: Most importantly was the wealth inequality between the Shah and the nobility and common Iranian citizen. There was immense poverty throughout the country and high unemployment, underemployment, low wages, and few protections for laborers.
Religious Conservatism: Most Iranians were religiously conservative (similar to the American Bible-belt as opposed to the Fundamentalists) and resisted the Shah's Westernization and Secularization movements in Iran. The Shah made clear that religion was not important to him as a ruler, whereas it was a concern among the people.
Puppet to Foreigners: The Shah was also seen as a Western puppet, especially when the CIA overthrew the Iranian President Mossadegh in 1953 to re-install the Shah of Iran and considering how Iran profited very little from its own petroleum.
Brutal Secret Police: The Shah had a notorious secret police called the SAVAK which harassed people and killed scores of others.
Authoritarianism: Iranians wanted to be in control of their own affairs. Iranians wanted some form of self-government or democracy. The Shah was an authoritarian who prevented people from expressing their own opinions.
Issue for Fundamentalists: Particularly in the fundamentalist camp, the fundamentalists in Iran felt that the Shah epitomized a Western culture of greed and materialism, because he tried to establish a more secular government. As with many rulers, he accumulated vast personal wealth. He also employed various means to suppress political dissent. It was ultimately the exiled Ayatollah Khomeini who in 1979 succeeded the Shah and established an Islamic religious government.
Note: The fact that these grievances existed does not mean that the Islamic Republic of Iran afterwards "fixed" these problems.
Answer 2
The main reason was that majority of Iranians are Shia Muslims and wanted a Islamic government of jurist and Shah was in fact an anti-Islam dictator.
