Abstract

Historically the
common point between the Islamic Revolution of Iran and recent revolutions in
the Muslim World is rooted in the Islamic Awakening of the recent century.
However concerning the type of system building of these two revolutions, there
are certain distinctions the causes of which are among significant topics for
research. The subject of
the present article is explaining the distinguishing points of the contexts and formation of revolutionary
discontent in Iran and the Muslim countries in the region and their influence
on the future revolutionary system building of in these countries. The
question of the article
is: What are the distinguishing points in formation of revolutionary discontent
in Iran and other contemporary revolutions in the Muslim World? And what are the
influences of these factors on the nature of the socio political structure of
their relevant systems? The authors emphasis on culture oriented current of the
Islamic revolution in Iran on the one hand, and highlighting the attempts
towards presenting the Islamic Iranian model of progress in contrast with
western quasi progress in
contemporary Iran. The findings of the research indicate that although
both developments originate from the foundations of Islamic Awakening, there
are certain differences in Islamic political thoughts affecting the formation
of the type of the political system in these countries with the Islamic
revolution in Iran. In addition, there are some delicate sociological
differences in the contexts creating discontent leading to the revolutionary
movement and to system building and the formation of the political structure
after the revolution. This point distinguishes
the Islamic revolution of Iran from all revolutions in the world including
classic and modern revolutions
