As the post-election protests rage in Tehran, the Iranian capital, another power struggle is under way in the revered city of Qom.

It is the home of Iran's most powerful clerics who have the power to remove Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme leader, who has backed re-elected President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

But as Al Jazeera's Nicole Johnston reports, some ayatollahs say the election was a sham and sympathise with the opposition.

1. They need another Cleric in the mix. From the movie Equilibrium

Where people were trained not to care, not to love, not to feel. The clerics of the ruling class became destroyers and enslaved the people.

But one cleric refused, he did feel, and after they killed the women that he loved, and taught him of love, he did as he was trained.

(Note: clip has violence, I think of that is a metaphor since I do not believe in violence.)
