Persian history is our pride , Identity and glory . but If you just look on our history in the last 200 years you'll find thousands of known and unknown people that can be placed in that list . No one remembers Mirza Kuchak khan who fought against Russians in the north and froze in Jungle, no one remembers Rais ali Devari who fought against British army in Bushaehr and again no one remembers Amir kabir ,Dr Shariati , Mosadeq , Kashani , Motahari and thousands of people who were killed in war with no claim . I don't think the value of a teenager who used his body to open minefields in Iran-Iraq war be less than Cyrus the Great , Darius the Great and other names written in that list .
I don't wanna ruin this nice thread by answering your idea about what you call mullah .
Regards .
