Abstract
The political Salafists are a group that after the reforming actions of the neo-Salafists and following the special conditions of the Middle East region; were created and used different methods to gain power, which, in conflict with the discourse of Islamic resistance, created a special security environment for West Asian countries. What is the relationship between the roots of political Salafism in the Middle East and the discourse of Islamic resistance? which this article seeks to answer with a descriptive-analytical approach and with the application of practical considerations and in the form of the Copenhagen theoretical framework. The findings of the research show that the impact of political development and the discourse of Shiite resistance created a special security environment in West Asia, and Salafism and its dimensions and types have been a kind of security response for countries and political currents. As a result of the development of the Shiite resistance discourse in Iraq, South Lebanon and Yemen, it has caused the reproduction of various currents of Salafism, which, in conflict with this discourse, has not yet been able to become a coherent development and create a dominant discourse, and has expanded dimensions of the security environment for West Asia.
