Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Imam Al-mahdi (as) and Opponents : the Dialectic of Complementarily and Contradiction Examining the Authenticity of Dialectical Marxism in Practice The Role of Religion in Mobilizing the Masses towards Revolution The last few decades of the last century witnessed a new phenomenon, namely the Islamic revolution of Iran, where religion demonstrably played a major role in mobilizing the masses for the purpose of a national cause, simultaneously inspiring aspirations of International proportions with regard to the oppressors happily hogging their way around the globe.

However, there are some politically observant and strategic analysts who have tried to trivialise or belittle the role of religious ideology in forming and motivating the forces of the revolution. In his book: \'Six theories of the Victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran\', Haghighat edited an article entitled: \'The Role of Ideology, Leadership and People in the Islamic Revolution\' by Manoochehr Mohammdi that states that religion was the main factor for the victory of the Islamic revolution.

Analyzing the main ideologies that could and eventually did influence the destiny of the revolution, we read in the article by Mohammadi: \'In Iran, since long ago and from the early years of the present century, three different eastern and western ideologies have attracted different social groups. These are Nationalism, Marxism-Leninism, and Islam. Their advocates have endeavoured to gather a following by painting their own picture of ideal society.

Nationalism, in the minds race, incorporates historical background, language, culture and traditions of people, who have gathered inside a set of geographical boundaries as an undissociatable unit, and considering such, honour it as friendly and otherwise as alien and enemy.

The Marxist movement, despite the extensive efforts made, was less successful than nationalism in Iran for two reasons: The atheistic structure and materialistic nature of Marxism-Leninism contradicted the Iranian society\'s nature and their deep religious beliefs. Thus, it could not find popular acceptability. The extensive affiliation of Marxists to Moscow resulted in their becoming regarded "as a result of the bitter experiences of Iranian-Russian relation", or as a group of Russian puppets.

However, Islam as a divine school of thought had historical roots in the minds of various classes of people.
