Abstract
Far from creating a coherent Islamic society, obedient to the teachings of its leader and satisfied in the achievements of the Islamic republic, by the end of its first year, the government was faced with seething discontent. Dissatisfaction amongst women, workers and minorities was reflected in division amongst the governing institutions. The provisional government was at loggerheads with the Assembly of Experts. Neither was able to control the spontaneous Islamic courts, komitehs and the students who ruled in the name of the followers of the line of imam.
