the revolutionaries convinced people shah was compromised by uk/usa.
once they sized power with Khomeini return, Khomeini used the same trick to convince people that revolutionaries are against god and his new government.
Khomeini wasn't afraid to incite his followers to kill something which the shah didn't have it in him to kill his own people, as he had fled.
