- Despite his sympathy with the Iranian Constitutional Revolution in the beginning for its opposition to tyranny and rule of law, he soon turned against it upon realizing that the movement established a Western-style government with secular law rather than a government with Islamic law.
- He was executed for treason by Constitutionalists as a result.
- Today he is considered a martyr (shahid) in the fight against democracy by Islamic conservatives in Iran.Noori opposed the constitutional movement and an elected parliament as a danger to Islam, separating religion and state, and colonial intervention in the affairs of Qajar Iran.
