The illegitimate, hence insecure, tyrants adopt different strategies to
maintain their hold on power.

They heed to the pragmatic advice of
Machiavelli: “Invent enemies and then slay them in order to control your
subjects.” The virulently anti-Shi'ite rhetoric of the Salafis and
Takfiris is a Machiavellian approach. The Salafis and Takfiris cannot
construct a positive narrative that specifies their achievements; that’s
why they construct a negative narrative that casts the Evil Other in a
negative light.
