Are you defending our in efficient? Have you seen the works of African muslim Agency (Sunni) compared to the Shia's?

As much as I try to understand and empathise with your argument but your arguments needs more indepth elaboration

What I mean is that they function as profit based institutions, that also seek political influence, and not simply as charity foundations, therefore its natural that they fucntion differently. The money ends up in pockets of the ones at top levels. This is a main goal and why top Shia Marji's would have official "deputies" representing them in different areas, to collect khums money etc.

So naturally, profit based organizations like these can be more profitable than ones that are only charity and give money away to people. They have a different structure with a hierarchy leading to the top, different tools, and different type of management, and different goals.

So comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges in my opinion.
