It wasnt a revolt in anything other than religious

Well they literally overthrew the government so maybe instead of being Islamophobic you learn the history of Persia/Iran.

isis overthrew governments too, doesn't mean their revolution was legit or honorable

The Islamic Republic is not ISIS, it's not even comparable.
The Pahlavi Dynasty, as backed by Western oil interests from The US and English governments, were arguably just as oppressive. That's the important history that Islamophobic posts like this purposely leave out. The Iranians of this time didn't have freedom either.

You may find this hard to belive, but things change over time. Novel idea, huh?

It depends on what freedoms we're talking about. For example, a republic (albeit a very flawed one) is much better than an Authoritarian Monarchy.
