هدف: هدف از این مقاله شناخت و تحلیل یکی از اصلی‌ترین تهدیدات «نرم» علیه جمهوری اسلامی در گفتمان امنیت آیت‌الله خامنه‌ای است. امنیت، همواره یکی از اصلی‌ترین دال‌ها در گفتمان ایشان بوده است و ایشان از جنبه‌های مختلفی به آن توجه داشته‌اند. روش‌شناسی پژوهش: روش این تحقیق تحلیل گفتمان لاکلا موف است. یافته‌ها: آیت‌الله خامنه‌ای «سکولاریسم» را اصلی‌ترین تهدید نرم جمهوری اسلامی و «تقویت روحیه باورمندی مردم به اسلام»، «عدم انفعال در مقابل پدیده اسلام‌هراسی»، «آمیختن دانش و دین»، «پاسداری از انقلاب اسلامی» و «توکل به خدا» را وجوه مقابل آن‌ها می‌داند که دال‌های گفتمان امنیت سیاسی ایشان است. نتیجه‌گیری:در این پژوهش، محور اصلی مقوله «امنیت سیاسی» است که هم با تهدیدات «سخت» مواجه است و هم با تهدیدات «نرم» که در اینجا «سکولاریسم» به‌عنوان مهم‌ترین «تهدید نرم» امنیت سیاسی در نظر گرفته شده است. از آنجایی‌که گفتمان انقلاب اسلامی بر محور دال مرکزی «اسلام سیاسی» صورت‌بندی شده است، اصلی‌ترین «غیرِ» آن را باید «سکولاریسم» در نظر گرفت و این موضوع، به‌وضوح در گفتمان سیاسی آیت‌الله خامنه‌ای «برجسته» شده است و توجه به بُعد امنیتی آن، برای شناخت دقیق‌تر از تهدیدات «نرم» جمهوری اسلامی اهمیت بسیار زیادی دارد.
