Khomeini promised to return to the mosque after the revolution, one of his tricks in uniting seculars who were and still are the majority in Iran, under his wing - even Feminists, would you believe. |
I heard he did the same thing during a later secular uprising; he said "let them tear down my pictures" and "things will change" so the people left the streets & went home, but within hours the army moved in & 'neutralized' all opposition, etc, and the next day or so it was business as usual... Is that correct?
