Some fundamental specifications of sectarian movements naturally make them capable to educate and change members into activists who are out of the value and normative frameworks.
However, which specification persuade members and disciples to do such measures?
Maybe, the frameworks of sectarian world based on “we and they” lining (cult world and outside) is one the most prominent.
Under this lining, the world outside the cult is always defined by keywords like “deviation, sin, enemy” and the like a gray image is drawn in members’ minds. The association of this imaging alongside with another basic specification; that is, the necessity for obeying the head (the leader) along with weakening logic and critical thought in members prepare people to accept unconventional activities to receive the mentioned one from others and also to implement its leader’s orders or to defend the cult against so-called strangers.
Under such educational system, the slightest thought on ambiguity concerning determined orders and duties means wavering of faith and belief of the member and will be encountered with threatening to boycott. In such world, the members of a superficially spiritual movement or even religion-based one accept violent activists entitled “new spiritual vocation” in special conditions nearly simply to change system of the government and even for life risks. Just like the cult evangelism Christianity, the Baha’is and spiritual-like related ones issued the order of field activism in the riots of the
solar month of Day as “spiritual duty” for members and hid their contradictions with previous guides or the texts of the deviated Bible and justified them using different literature.
