Despite the external attacks, there is no coherence in the internal circles to deal with them properly, and this has several factors; One of them is the existence of different thoughts and currents within the Shia religion and their differences with each other; They also have problems from the inside. Among them, not having a sufficient scientific and cultural base and center is a guide. The Shiites of this country do not have the same opinion regarding religious teachings; Rather, different readings can be seen among them, and the lack of a reading and opinion about religious teachings has caused the emergence of various religious currents.
