No Sense of Irony in Iran

During the events leading up to the 1979 revolution in Iran against the Shah, people would stand on the rooftops and call out, "Allah-u-Akbar, Allah-u-Akbar!" in defiance of the regime.

Currently there are many people with opinions against the current regime, gathering in numbers on the rooftops again and calling out of the windows, again shouting, "Allah-u-Akbar!" For some reason the Islamic Republic takes exception to this, arresting whoever they can catch, for imprisonment, possibly for execution.

How can these power-corrupted "Islamic" officials possibly object to the Name of God, "God is Most Great," in the mouths of anyone?
