Ayatollah Khomeini

Snip
As protest grew so did his profile and importance. Although thousands of kilometers away from Iran in Paris, Khomeini set the course of the revolution, urging Iranians not to compromise and ordering work stoppages against the regime.[84] During the last few months of his exile, Khomeini received a constant stream of reporters, supporters, and notables, eager to hear the spiritual leader of the revolution.[85]

Khomeini was not allowed to return to Iran during the Shah’s reign (as he had been in exile). On 17 January 1979, the Shah left the country (ostensibly “on vacation”), never to return. Two weeks later, on Thursday, 1 February 1979, Khomeini returned in triumph to Iran, welcomed by a joyous crowd estimated (by BBC) to be of up to five million people.[86] On his chartered flight back to Tehran 120 journalists accompanied him,[87][88] including three women.[88] One of the journalists, Peter Jennings, asked: “Ayatollah, would you be so kind as to tell us how you feel about being back in Iran?”[89] Khomeini answered via his aide Sadegh Ghotbzadeh: “Hichi” (Nothing).[89] This statement—much discussed at the time[90] and since[91]—was considered by some reflective of his mystical beliefs and non-attachment to ego.[92] Others considered it a warning to Iranians who hoped he would be a “mainstream nationalist leader” that they were in for disappointment.[93]

What is most telling is that while this insane Islamic Leader/thinker/writer was in France, he was courted by dozens of Western Journalist and so called intellectuals.
They loved him.
They loved him because, even in the 1970’s, he was Anti-American and these media tools set aside any moral objections of his positions in order to advance their greater cause of Multiculturalism and bringing down the US.
Bookmarked. Thanks.
