| IRGC Memo Identifies Threats to Islamic Republic |
| 2007-11-22 |
| The political division of the Revolutionary Guards published a report titled "Looming Damages and Threats," stating that "active cultural movements in the country are capable of damaging and threatening the regime's ideological foundations." The Revolutionary Guards memorandum lists "feminists," "supporters of religious pluralism," "dervishes and Sufis," "radical modernist movements," "Bahaiis," and "devil worshippers" as "threats" to the regime. It also singles out non-governmental organizations (NGO's) as the most "significant element capable of instigating civil unrest and threatening the country's security." Noting that "poverty, corruption and discrimination" are central to the country's cultural and social vulnerability, the memorandum claims that the triangle of poverty, corruption and discrimination has given rise to a series of problems that threaten the stability of the Islamic regime, despite the supreme leader's repeated warnings. |
