"They are against established religion, they are against established religiosity, against political Islam, against teaching Islam and against the seminary"
Still we get no proofs for that in the article. The quoted poem just uses "wine" but it's not anything "against."
And the fact that Khomeini at some point in his life (maybe as he was young and at the times Iranian women were still allowed to wear miniskirts and it was considered normal (1)) wrote some poetry different from his own fundamentalist actions doesn't make automatically "a complex view of Islam." It just proves that no person is one-dimensional. And these that even at just one point in their lives start to understand their religion as "completely true" are exactly those that start to be obsessed with their own sins in their own lives up to that point and try to do something to "buy themselves back" to heaven. With virgins (remember "completely true") included.
