THE IRANIAN SCHOOL BOMBING IS THE MODERN DAY CINEMA REX In 1978, Khomeini’s Radical Islamist followers barricaded 470 people inside Cinema Rex movie theater, soaked the building with airplane fuel, and set it on fire. Everyone inside burned alive. The Islamists then launched a successful disinformation campaign blaming SAVAK - the Shah’s secret police - for the blaze. The lie spread. Public outrage exploded. And the tragedy became one of the turning points that helped ignite the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Last week, the Islamic Regime bombed a girls’ elementary school. Whether it was deliberate or due to a misfired rocket is still unclear. But what is clear is the playbook. Manufacture a Tragedy. Blame the Enemy. Exploit the Outrage. Just like in 1978. The same tactics that helped the Regime seize power, are now being used to stay in power. And Western liberals who have no idea how evil the Islamic Regime truly is are falling for it.
