The Concepts of Religion and Government in the Thought of Mîrzâ Âqâ Khân Kirmânî, a Ninteenth-Century Persian Revolutionary
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2009
Extract
Throughout the history of Iran, a country where religion has been a predominant element in the life of its inhabitants, spiritual restlessness and social malaise expressed themselves in various revolts which were religious in character. From pre–Islamic Iran to nineteenth–century Babism a series of radical sects, considered as heretical and consequently ruthlessly suppressed by the ruling authorities, came into being.
