The Political Strategies of the International Seminary Scientific Institutions against Takfiri Movements Based on SWOT Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to review the political strategies used by international seminary scientific institutions against Takfiri movements based on SWOT analysis (matrix). The method of study is descriptive analysis and the results showed that this strategy analysis about Takfiri movements is an extensive system that needs periodical analysis and enquiry. Due to numerous variables, continuously changing political situation, mushroom-like rise of Takfiri movements and so on, this model should be broken into a pyramid to achieve micro strategies in addition to macro strategies. The fixed part of this analysis which should be considered by the international seminary institutions is first, the maintenance of strengths (S) and the attempt for their increase, and then, the elimination of weaknesses (W). The unfixed part of the analysis which needs more consideration and up-to-date and specialized enquiry involves an analysis about the decrease or increase in opportunities (O) and threats (T) as well as the transformation of their internal essence. Moreover, the correlation between weaknesses and threats as well as strengths and opportunities in international seminary organizations should be taken into consideration. A more comprehensive analysis would be achieved when “Takfiri movements” is independently set as the subject of analysis and it is attached to this current strategic analysis. In this case, the correlation between four variables of S, W, O, and T would be obtained in a specialized way.
