She explained the history of the Iranian Revolution that toppled
the Shah and installed the Ayatollah Khomeini

Part of the Shah's downfall is due to the modernization efforts he was promoting,
an aspect of which was the availability of low cost audio cassette tape players
in Iran.

The fundie Muslims smuggled in tapes of the Ayatollah's rantings and these were
widely sistributed among the population, which at the time was still mostly poorly
educated backwoods farmers, and used these taped recordings to propagandize
the Iranian people.
