The Impacts of Takfiri Measures on the Image of Export of Islamic Revolution of Iran and Pacifism of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Despite the presence of several revivalist, reformist and revolutionary currents in the world of Islam, today the Salafi Takfiri ideology, particularly through its violent acts, has widely attracted the attentions. The spread of this movement in recent years has overshadowed the image of Islam in general and that of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in particular. Since one of the main strategies of the Islamic Revolution of Iran is peaceful export of the revolution to the world, attempts have been made in the present paper to answer the following question through descriptive –analytical what impacts have the extremist takfiri currents in the world of Islam left on the pacific image of the Islamic Revolution in the light of the slogan of export of the revolution? The hypothesis of this paper was studied based on the potential capacity created for the Islamic Revolution of Iran due to the measures of the takfiri currents and the findings indicate that lack of attribution of these currents to the Islamic Revolution of Iran and Iran’s emphasis on fight against the takfiri currents, underlines the attempts of the Islamic Revolution of Iran for establishment of peace, but the impacts of these currents on the perception of the genuine Islamic movements of export of the Islamic Revolution of Iran has created ambiguity and problems for the image and attempts of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
