“	Anyone who will say that religion is separate from politics is a fool; he does not know Islam or politics.	„
	~ Rhullah Knomeini

Sayyid Ruhollah Mūsavi Khomeini (Persian: سید روح‌الله موسوی خمینی‎ [ruːhoɫˈɫɑːhe χomeiˈniː]; 24 September 1902 – 3 June 1989), known in the Western world as Ayatollah Khomeini, was the Supreme Leader of Iran. He was a religious extremist authority that enforced fundamentalist Islamic laws and was part of the "Axis of Evil" along with Iraq and North Korea. His crimes included the execution of children and killing non-Muslims and homosexuals. While the current leader has bad laws too, Ruhollah is certainly much worse. He also caused genocides. He was also the mastermind behind the execution of 30,000 people in in the 1988 Political Massacre. He disliked Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, who disliked him back, due to Saddam being a Sunni Muslim and Khomeini being a Shia Muslim (which Saddam hated). He died in 1989 of heart failure.

Quotes

“	The author of The Satanic Verses book which is against Islam, the Prophet and the Qu'ran, and all involved in its publication who were aware of its content, are sentenced to death. I call on all zealous Muslims to execute them wherever they find them, so that no one will dare to insult the Islamic sanctions. Whoever is killed on this path will be regarded as a martyr, God willing.	„
