I lost my nerve with a religion professor who was talking about the Iranian revolution solely as a religious movement. Of course religion played a major role but to ignore the facts that it was also a political movement against the Western backed shah. I'm no history buff but I knew enough to know that she was severely over simplifying things. Besides, no major historical change is ever about one thing. I knew she would focus on the religious aspect - it was a religious class after all. But she wasn't even bracketing the political situation she claimed complete ignorance. I was mostly upset that she had a doctorate and doesn't know a basic fact about history which I learned in high school, and that she was misinforming generations of students.
