The bureaucratic rulers of Islamic states consider themselves to be the champions and the most educated, trusted, scientifically minded and the best interpreters of the Islamic laws. In this way, they have managed to win the trust of many lower sectors of bureaucracy (including parties, governmental organizations and administrative sectors), workers, the uneducated and the rural populations, resulting in the virtual worship of individuals in Iranian society. Individualism has brought about a system of terror and force on behalf of the Islamic rulers, which has resulted in a stronger power base for the bureaucrats. Nowadays, the unquestioning trust of the public towards the Islamic rulers is over and has been replaced by an ever-increasing distrust of the Islamic leaders towards the public across the Islamic world. Now, as in the later decades of the 20th century, leaders of the Islamic states are not even benefiting from the trust of the most sincere members of their own parties. Against the interests of the majority of the population, bureaucrats of various kinds and creed are collaborating with the army, that military machinery, for upholding their own positions; it should not be forgotten that, throughout the Islamic states, bureaucrats unite to deploy every trick in the book to attract the pseudo trust of the public. It is no coincidence that the propaganda machinery in Islamic states is functioning at its fullest capacity. One point that is certain is that, within Islamic states, the overall trust of the public and the educated with regard to their leaders is in constant decline. What is paramount in today’s Islamic states is the leadership crisis. Being aware of potential crisis around the corner, the Islamic leaders have increased the level of pressure on the educated, the media and on any sector of opposition. Applications of force against the public would in turn diminish the credibility of the Islamic leaders. A brief study shows that never in the history of leadership in Islamic countries has the leaders’ credibility with the public been so low. These conditions will result in the downfall of these Islamic rulers. Today, bureaucracy in Islamic states is limited to a small sector of society, which will gradually polarize the states into various social classes of public. When the people’s distrust in the Islamic leaders are on the increase, the bureaucratic leaders, in order to tighten their grip further on their position, restrict the number of officials around them so that they are within the safe haven of their own trusted figures. This is indicative of the fact that a special relationship is formed at the top of the bureaucratic ladder that would allow those into the offices of government who have secured a special bond with the regimes’ oligarchy.
