This thinking has been referred to as a soft war and a Trojan horse, and a breeder of the enemy's forces inside the country. In each era, intellectuals show themselves with clothes such as reformism, modernism, revisionism, etc. The intellectuals of secularism with their westernized ideas have been effective in the country's political, social and cultural equations since their birth in the Qajar period until now, and the founders of secularism in Iran are the creators of non-Islamic thought. Secularisms seek to make fundamental changes in Muslim principles. Deposition of secularism thoughts in some layers of current strategic and macro management of the country and knowing the principle of this thinking and Eastern and Western thoughts can protect us in various fields.
