[New World Encyclopedia] Ruhollah Khomeini - New World Encyclopedia: Most of the democratic and social reforms that he had promised did not come to pass during his lifetime, and when faced with such criticism, Khomeini often stated that the Islamic Revolution would not be complete until Iran becomes a truly Islamic nation in every aspect, and that democracy and freedom would then come about "as a natural result of such a transformation." Khomeini's definition of democracy existed within an Islamic framework, his reasoning being that since Islam is the religion of the majority, anything that contradicted Islam would consequently be against democratic rule. His last will and testament largely focuses on this line of thought, encouraging both the general Iranian populace, the lower economic classes in particular, and the clergy to maintain their commitment to fulfilling Islamic revolutionary ideals.

If Ayatollah Khomeini had not had that convenient French exile, he might have ended up within the reach of the Shah's secret police, or at least in another Muslim country where he would have been denied all the freedoms he so exploited in France.
