Kayhan: If there had been no leniency in decisively confronting the rioters, the terrorists attacking Shah Cheragh might have been captured among the rioters.

If there had been no leniency in decisively and regretfully confronting the rioters, and if some political figures, whose self-defeat and lack of knowledge is the most respectful assumption about them, had not implicitly and explicitly supported the rioters, and if they had not called the attack on people’s lives, property, and honor a protest, it is very likely that the terrorists attacking the pilgrims of the Shah Cheragh shrine, peace be upon him, would have been arrested among the recent rioters, and the opportunity for yesterday’s crime would have been taken from those corrupt elements.
