Violent protests in Sweden following threats about burning the Quran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In recent days, several Iranian state-run media outlets have run articles calling attention to riots in Sweden which originated with a far-right, anti-Muslim political group\u2019s threat to hold a rally and burn copies of the Quran in Stockholm. Rasmus Paludan<\/a>, the leader of the group whose name translates to English as \u201cHard Line\u201d, reportedly failed to appear for the promised rally, but arguably accomplished his goal when the resulting backlash sparked multiple days of unrest and clashes with the police.<\/p>\n

The context of that unrest has little if anything to do with Iran specifically, but Iranian regime officials see it as an opportunity to promote familiar narratives of a perceived culture war between the “Islamic world” and the “West,” and state media outlets clearly propagate this narrative by assigning blame to the Swedish government and other Western entities while presenting the Iranian regime as a bulwark for justice.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA)<\/a> proclaimed that Muslims were being \u201csuppressed on the pretext of defending the freedom of speech,\u201d and accused Sweden of \u201cemboldening\u201d its far-right activists simply by virtue of having not cracked down on Hard Line\u2019s plans for a public demonstration close to Muslim communities. Meanwhile, the Iranian regime continues to dismiss recurring calls for investigation and accountability related to anti-government protests that took place across nearly 200 Iranian cities in November 2019.<\/p>\n

Almost immediately after the outbreak of that nationwide uprising, Iranian authorities led by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps opened fire on crowds of protesters, killing at least 1,500<\/a>. Thousands of others were arrested amidst the mass shootings, and many were then subjected to months of systematic torture at the direction of the Iranian judiciary, then led by Ebrahim Raisi, who went on to become president in 2021. Raisi\u2019s prior claim to infamy was a leading role in the mass executions of 30,000 political prisoners during the summer of 1988, which was an early example of the regime\u2019s exploitation of religious dogma as justification for political violence.<\/p>\n

In advance of the 1988 massacre, then-Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini declared supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization<\/a> of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) to be guilty of \u201cenmity against God\u201d and instructed newly-formed death commissions to \u201cannihilate the enemies of Islam immediately.\u201d In recent conferences and publications calling for action by the international community, some legal scholars have described that massacre as a \u201cgenocide\u201d committed against adherents of Islam who rejected the regime\u2019s fundamentalism.<\/p>\n

The underlying sentiment is still reflected in the regime\u2019s official narrative regarding current events, which portrays itself and its would-be supporters as being simultaneously under attack from non-Muslims in the Western world and from \u201cTakfiri\u201d elements within traditionally Muslim societies. This is to say that the regime publicly dismisses the Islamic bona fides of its ideological competitors, and often suggests that Western, regional, and even domestic entities are conspiring against the \u201ctrue\u201d Islam that is Tehran\u2019s fundamentalism.<\/p>\n

In fact, allegations of \u201cconspiracies\u201d were made quite explicit on Sunday when Saeed Khatibzadeh, the spokesperson for Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry, commented on the situation in Sweden during his weekly press conference. \u201cThe actions of the insulting person [Paludan] and his supporters increasingly necessitate the unity of Muslims and Islamic countries against the conspiracies of the enemies of Islam,\u201d he said, implying that such unity can best be achieved under Tehran\u2019s leadership. Despite the events in question being far from Iran and the surrounding region, Khatibzadeh referred to them as examples of \u201csedition,\u201d a term prominently used by Iranian officials in reference to various major challenges to their hold on power, including 2009, 2018, and 2019 uprisings that explicitly called for regime change.<\/p>\n

A week earlier, Tehran’s Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi<\/a> applied a very similar framing to recent protests at the Iranian embassy in Kabul and the consulate in Afghanistan, as well as to illegal border crossings and other incidents that threatened to harm relations between Iran and newly-restored hardline emirate known as the Taliban. \u201cThis is the enemy\u2019s plot,\u201d Vahidi said, according to IRNA, while demanding that the Taliban commit to protecting the regime’s interests.<\/p>\n

Iranian officials and state media outlets have evidently been keen to imply that violent incidents challenging Iran\u2019s aim of ideological dominance are rooted in the West, even when it is more likely that they have direct or indirect ties to the Taliban or another competing entity in the Muslim world. This was the case, for instance, when Vahidi said of a knife attack carried<\/a> out at a Mashhad shrine by an ethnic Uzbek from Pakistan, \u201cThis bitter event shows that the enemy has not ceased its efforts to spread\u00a0discord.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same impulse was seemingly on display on Tuesday after a pair of explosions struck a boys’ school in Kabul, killing at least six people and wounding a dozen others. Tasnim News Agency, an outlet close to the Revolutionary Guards, quoted Saeed Khatibzadeh as blaming the incident on \u201cTakfiri terrorists\u201d and \u201canti-religious elements.\u201d However, the same report simply glossed over the fact that a third explosion in the same area struck an English language learning center, suggesting that the series of attacks may have been targeting perceived Western influence, in which case they would not support Tehran\u2019s narrative of unrest being deliberately instigated by a Western \u201cenemy\u201d.<\/p>\n

But additional details are unlikely to alter that narrative in any case. Whereas Tehran has frequently condemned Western authorities for inserting themselves into regional affairs via public commentary on recent developments, the Interior Ministry quickly responded to the Mashhad knife attack by saying that the absence of such commentary proved that the US and its allies \u201care among supporters of such acts.\u201d This goes to show that Tehran can be expected to shape its account of any given incident to fit the preconceived narrative, whether that incident occurs on its own territory or far away in a nation like Sweden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
