It all began with Islam, a problem that lasted over a thousand years. Millions died as Islam spread, killing people who did not accept Allah as their god. Eventually, many people pretended to accept Islam and went along with its practices. These were the Muslims who did not kill non-believers and pitied those who did. Then, in the 21st century, thanks to the Internet and the growing number of educated Muslim women, children were brought up to believe religion was not that important, and that trend in free thought, like UK Muslims becoming non-believers, led to more Muslims believing they would free themselves from the irksome burden of Islam. They could do this by emulating what happened in Iran. It would begin with the current Iranian government's unconditional surrender. This would be easier with fewer Muslims in Iran. It’s been noted that fewer Iranian mosques are being used. The new Iran allowed freedom of speech, religion, and the right to bear arms. Many Iranians had seized weapons or been given them by soldiers or police men who had access to more weapons than they needed. The Ayatollahs stockpiled weapons to protect themselves and found that those weapons could be used against them.
What happened to the IRGC? Most of them just faded away, while those who resisted were outgunned and died or surrendered. The religious leaders also fled, died, or sought mercy for themselves and their families. Some were arrested and punished for crimes they committed or helped commit. Some Iranians sought to revive the death penalty, as it would save a lot of time and money and give many Iranians the justice they never thought they would see. But the new Iran saw justice as something that did not need to be horrific. There would be some executions, but not as many as some expected. The Muslim Imams, or religious leaders, would also be arrested and examined to see who committed crimes against Iranians or foreigners.
After this, the economic sanctions against Iran ended, and foreign trade resumed. This would bring many exiled Iranians home, including the descendants of Iranian Jews. As it was before 1979, Iran and Israel would once more have diplomatic, cultural, and economic relations. Free, unrestricted Internet access would reconnect Iranians with the world.
While this may sound impossible and outrageous to some, it isn’t. If good men and women do the right thing to the best of their ability, all this will happen. Many will oppose these measures. They must be ignored and not allowed to interfere with the work of making Iran a free and equitable nation to do business with.
That was Iran, but what about the other Islamic nations? Many will follow Iran's example. Even the Saudis would as well after the Kaaba disappeared in a mysterious explosion.
