abstract	This article looks at the state of Islamic Ideology in Iran following the sixth round of the February 2000 parliamentary elections that gave a reform mandate to President Mohammad Khatami. On the 18th of February, 2000, the Iranian electorate, the young men and women in particular, were called on to rescue the beleaguered presidency of Khatami, whose landslide victory in May 1997 caught the entrenched vested interest of the religious right by surprise. This parliamentary election reveals beyond any shadow of a doubt the cataclysmic moment when the long and arduous history of Islamic Ideology has finally come to an end. In addition to its polemical content and unscholarly characterizations of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh, the article mistakenly alleges that Bahá’u’lláh, who died in 1892, supported Muḥammad ʿAlī Shah who ascended the throne fifteen years later in 1907.
