Khomeinism, also transliterated Khumaynism, refers to the religious and political ideas and practices connected with Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution. While primarily referring to the ideas and practices of Khomeini himself, Khomeinism may also refer to the ideology of the clerical class which has ruled the Islamic Republic of Iran founded by Khomeini, following his death, and to the "radicalization" of segments of the Twelver Shia populations of Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon, and to the Iranian government's "recruitment" of Shia minorities in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Africa.
