"I know more about the Assembly of Experts than practically anybody. Many people are saying, 'Sir, you would be the greatest member the Assembly has ever had.'
My uncle, Davoud brilliant scholar was on the Assembly for years. And he'd look at me I was young, very sharp, sharper than the mullahs and he'd say, 'Donald,you know the Quran like nothing I've ever seen.' And it's true... I have a natural feel for sharia.
Some people study in Qom for 40 years, reading usul al-fiqh, and they come out and they don't know anything... It's very sad. Frankly, it's a disgrace."
