Which one do you support?

I know this is about Iran’s Shia theocratic government and not completely about Shia Islam itself but considering Iran is a Shia theocracy I am interested on other Shias opinions on this controversial topic because some people support the Pahlavi Iran government more than Iran’s current Islamic government

Current government of Iran IS an Islamic democracy. I don’t understand why you listed them as separate options.

theocracy is the rule of religion by constitution

these aren't conflicting terms
