Shiism

/ ˈʃiːɪzəm /

noun

Iran belongs to all Iranians; it cannot and must not be reduced to Islam, nor Islam to Shiism or Shiism to Khomeinism.

Alawis are a very unique and distinct Muslim group, which mixes elements of Shiism and Christianity together.

These last matters, however, are rather excrescences than necessary parts of Shiism.
