Arresting some extremist elements does not dry up the roots of extremism The "Islamic Republic" newspaper wrote: Dealing with some extremist elements may temporarily numb the corner of rebellion, but it does not extinguish the fire of rebellion. When the engine of extremism is on, the opportunists who may not have faith in the revolution, the system, Islam and the motherland will ride on this engine under the pretext of placing these titles and achieve the enemy's goals. People's intellectuals should remove this malignant virus from society by showing their real opposition to radical thinking.
