This is unlikely, although protestors have chanted “We don’t want an Islamic Republic, we don’t want it, we don’t want it.” There is no doubt that there is massive discontent with Sharia rule in Iran. Meanwhile, Khatami also said: “Please do not unblock the internet!” Of course, because it allows the freedom fighters to circumvent government censorship and the official misrepresentation of events. That’s why the political and media elites aren’t directly shutting it off in the West, but are steadily choking off and silencing voices that dissent from their agenda. They see the Internet the same way the Iranian mullahs do, and have the same interest in establishing and preserving totalitarian control.
“Prayer Imams In Iran Urge Government To Keep Internet Shut,” Radio Farda, November 22, 2019:
Friday Prayer Imams in Tehran and Mashhad have called on the government not to restore internet service to citizens in Iran that have been blocked to conceal the violent suppression of anti-government protest during this week….
In Tehran, firebrand Ahmad Khatami said “the Rouhani administration could have handled the gas price hike more efficiently to prevent the unrest” that quickly spread to over 100 cities and turned into a major political upheaval.
Elsewhere in his sermon, Khatami said, “Protestors took revenge from God as they attacked mosques and torched the Koran.” Based on precedence, it is generally believed in Iran that attacking mosques, banks and government buildings have been engineered by the government in order to incriminate the demonstrators.
He also claimed, without presenting evidence, that the United States and France supported violence during the protest demonstrations that started Friday November 15 following a government measure that increased the price of gasoline three-fold….
Earlier Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Rouhani had also accused the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia of being behind the unrest….
Elsewhere in his sermon, Khatami praised the Rouhani administration for blocking internet access and suggested that the government should replace the internet with homegrown messaging services. “Please do not unblock the internet! You saw that it teaches the people how to commit crimes,” he claimed….

Well at least they didn’t insult the “prophet” muhammed{peace,blessings,candy floss and cuddly wuddly nicey niceness be upon him}because in islam,insulting muhammed is WORSE than insulting allah.
That’s because in islam muhammed is ABOVE allah.
The prophet {of islam} is greater than the god {of islam{
In fact…in islam…
muhammed is god and al LAH{“the BEST of deceivers”k3:54} is really muhammed’s sock puppet

+2. The god name Allah had existed several centuries before Mohammed(MHCRIH) co-opted it as the god of Islam. Allah was a truncated form of Al-Ilah, one of the 360 pagan deities worshipped by the nomadic pagan and polytheistic Arabs at the Kaaba in Mecca before, during, and after the time of Christ.Mohammed’s(MHCRIH) father was also named Abdullah (meaning “slave of Allah”.) A tribe of Jews was called Abdullah bin Salam in the Bukhari Hadith. (MayHeContinuallyRotInHell)

Khatami also said: “Please do not unblock the internet!”
Of course. Because he is fully aware that the Internet is already destroying his precious Islam:

Actually, I wish that happens, and that Iran descends into a civil war. Then Iraq, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan would all be flooded w/ refugees. All Muslim countries – it’ll be fun to see how they handle Muslim refugees

It would be interesting to see if neighbouring countries rush in to pillage certain items such as nuclear reactors.

Iranian ayatollah claims “protestors took revenge from Allah as they attacked mosques and torched the Qur’an”
…………………..
Yeah–I doubt it.
Scott Carlson says
I saw a video of a woman taking down a flag that said “Down with America” Sharia is definitely not for anyone. Someone would have to be brainwashed at a very young age in order for them to have a mind of their own to think for themselves to know that Sharia Law is inhumane and just plain wrong.
Angemon says
Yes, it’s always the infidel’s fault, isn’t it?… One day, they boast about the imminent defeat of the weak and whimpering American Satan, Zionist entity and heretic Saudis, the next they blame all of them for all their troubles. Which is it? Are the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia weak and incapable foes on the verge of defeat or powerful schemers, the masterminds behind all of Iran’s problems?…
