It's both painfully transparent and intellectually insulting.

It's the "I'm on the side of angels approach" that you three mullahs employ that is venomous.
A mullah approach is to find an austere, inflexible quote by a leader declare it supports the mullah's approach. The psychology of the rhetoric is that the speaker is better than those who disagree with the argument on the side of angels. It's not a gross mischaracterization of the stance. What is transparent is your belief that mullahs are better than everybody else, when in fact, they're just people like the rest of us schmucks, slogging away. None of us are on the side of angels, we're all devils.
