Ruhollah Khomeini — Persian Wikipedia

Persian Wikipedia article on Ruhollah Khomeini; used for entity facts only. It presents him as the founder of the Islamic Republic and its first supreme leader, describes him in its text as ideologically a radical Shia Islamist whose doctrine of clerical rule rests on the role of Shia scholars, and gives his birth at Khomeyn as 24 September 1902, citing the Great Islamic Encyclopaedia — the date his brother gave, against the birth-certificate date carried by the English article.
