Yeah but the Ulema dominated because everyone in Iran was a Shia, and the Ulema are shia clergy. The Mormon Church is a Mormon clergy. In Iran, Shia was and is the muslim majority. In America, Protestants are the Christian majority. Catholics in second, mormons in third. I dont see how the Ulema (before Islamic Revolution) and the Mormon Church are in similar situations except for maybe the fact that theyre rich?

A fair point, and I'm not disagreeing or saying I'm correct.
But Shia, like christianity, also has subsects; Ismailis, Twelvers, and Bohras.
The vast majority of Iran is Shia, and the vast majority of Shias are Twelvers - so you're right about the huge super majority which isn't shared in America, though we have a similar supermajority under christiandom, which Mormonism falls under.
Iran's population is only 82m and only 17% of the size of the US - so a comparable sectionality would be Mormons taking over a couple states, especially if there is a push for balkanization.
I'm just mostly talking shits on what mormons *want* to do with their 100,000,000,000 net worth, and them being one of the fastest growing religions. I don't actually believe they could take over accept at sub-regional level.
They are trying though. Next time you post about them wait to see if their new NSA style super data center gets triggered and a social media rep shows up. They really, sincerely, do.
