On this new way clerics used several traditional challenging tools and Immigration was one of these protesting tools against government policies. “forty days immigration” of great Iranian clerics to Tehran and Shahr-e-Rey as a protest to events of 5th May (15 Khordad) and arrest of Ayatollah Khomeini was one the main steps which helped strength and continuity of Islamic movment. This decision made by invention of then Clerics and inspired by successful history of similar tactics.
This article tries to investigate structures and reasons of immigrated clerics and reach a Topologic pattern for political behavior of clerics in that situation. The immigration showed their unified will and their capabilities on gathering political power which stabilized their position as a source of religious and political power and specially Ayatollah Khomeini. Practical existence of different and diversified political ideas and behaviors has clearly appeared during that situation and of course government role in deepening those gaps and creating new frontiers should not be under estimated. Importance of this phenomenon is in its paradoxical features; clerics behavior in that situation however was unified to an outsider but from within had some structural gaps and started a hidden crisis |
