Convergence with the revolution can be seen in influencing a significant part of the Ummah of Islam. Divergences are generally associated with the West and among Islamic countries with Wahhabi thinking.
Sa’id Haww and opposition to IR
Sa’id Haww is a contemporary Syrian scientist and one of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood of Syria who met with Imam Khomeini in the early days of the Revolution as one of the Brotherhood leaders and for the sake of congratulating the victory of the revolution to Imam, but over time, he became an opposition and took hostility to the revolution and its leader and has shown and risen in various ways, his opposition to the revolution and Shiite religion.
