Abstract
The intellectual factors influencing the Resistance Front's tendency towards the discourse of the Islamic Revolution as opposed to the discourse of the Brotherhood can be examined from various theoretical, cultural and political perspectives. These factors are rooted in the fundamental differences between the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the discourse of the Brotherhood, each of which is based on different intellectual, ideological and practical foundations. This research aims to examine the intellectual factors influencing the Resistance Front's tendency towards the discourse of the Islamic Revolution as opposed to the discourse of the Brotherhood. In this research, we seek to answer the question of which intellectual factors have influenced the Resistance Front's tendency towards the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and prevented it from tending towards the discourse of the Brotherhood? The assumption and answer that was considered for it is that the desire for justice and anti-arrogance along with the revolutionary spirit of the discourse of the Islamic Revolution against anti-oppression and support for the oppressed along with pragmatism, passivity against the great powers on the part of the Muslim Brotherhood has caused the resistance front to lean towards the first discourse in order to hope that within its framework it can protect the rights of Muslim minorities from the oppressive rulers. The method used is descriptive-analytical and the results and findings indicate that the most important factors creating the difference between these two discourses include the interventions of dominant global discourses and regional competitors, radical revolutionary actions in Iran after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, and different interpretations of the uprisings in the Arab region.
