THEY BURNED THEM ALIVE FOR WATCHING A FILM.
On the evening of August 19, 1978, four men walked into Cinema Rex in Abadan, Iran.
They carried cans of fuel. They spread it across the floor while the audience sat watching a movie.
Then they locked the doors from the outside…and set it on fire.
At least 400 people burned to death. Alive. Inside a locked building. Because they were watching a film.
Not because the film was dangerous. But because the cinema itself was considered an insult to Islam. A symbol of Western decadence.
A place where men and women sat together in the dark and were entertained. That was enough.
Since the beginning of 1978, Islamic extremists had already burned down 29 other cinemas across Iran. But those were empty. Cinema Rex was not.
And then came the lie.
Ayatollah Khomeini - who himself had called cinemas “centres for prostitution and the corruption of youth” - immediately blamed the Shah and his secret police SAVAK for the massacre.
Millions of Iranians believed him.
The outrage that followed accelerated the revolution.
The very men who burned 400 people alive used the bodies of their own victims as fuel for their political rise to power.
It took 23 years for the truth to come out.
One of the perpetrators eventually confessed - not out of remorse, but because he could no longer stand watching others receive credit for what he considered the ultimate act of sacrifice for Islam.
And the men behind the attack? Several of them went on to become members of the Iranian parliament.
The judge appointed to the case had ties to the very clerics suspected of involvement. The trial was a theatre. The victims were forgotten. Their names were erased from official calendars. No anniversaries were observed.
The Islamic Republic simply moved on.
This is who we are dealing with.
An ideology that burns people alive for watching a film. That blames its victims for its own crimes. That turns mass murder into a political weapon. That rewards its perpetrators with parliamentary seats.
And this is the ideology that Europe has spent decades tiptoeing around. Appeasing. Protecting from criticism. Calling it racism to name it out loud.
The Iranians know what it costs to get it wrong.
They paid with 47 years…and counting.
We are still pretending we have time to think about it.
Thank God for USA and Israel.❤️🔥🪽✝️ @realDonaldTrump@netanyahu
PAKISTAN: Muslim man kidnaps 13-year-old Christian girl and holds her captive for 6 months. She was raped, forced to convert to Islam and marry him.
When her father reported the abduction, the Sharia court granted custody to the kidnapper.
This is Islam.
Jimin’s maturity and emotional intelligence never fail to inspire! 👏
🗣: The secret to BTS’s teamwork?
🐥: The most important thing is that it's okay to fight, but communication is key.
🐥: Even after fighting, we gather and talk about why we fought.
🐥: We've been doing that since we were trainees.
🐥: For example, if the two of us got into a physical fight, we would all sit down together that day and start by asking who, why, and what caused it.
🚨Bill Maher on the Islamic slaughter of Christians in Nigeria: "They are literally trying to wipe out the christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this? They don't care because the Jews aren't involved."

The reactions say everything: A 19-year-old kid was hanged in Iran for protesting—silence from the left.
A regime leader dies—and suddenly the outrage is everywhere.
Crickets for a kid.
Loud for a regime leader.
Think about that.
