Conversely, we "rabbanites" seem may have split or are splitting into neo-Karaized and non-Karaized factions regarding our own texts and traditions.
There also are different groups of karaism who can't seem to stand each other, but I am not really aware of the details here. The Karaite World Union seems to be Egyptian dominated though and [Karaites] of Crimean origin seem to make several of these claimsA split among the latter day Karaites? I didn't know about that, but could it be that the Egyptian Karaites have become "Rabbanized"? The Crimeans, more willing to follow archaeological findings, rejecting their "masorah"?
1) Tefilin should be worn, since archeologist findings prove that the "tefilin verses" in Torah are not a metaphor.
2) The KWU's conversion requirements don't meet the Tanach's requirements.
3) The structures of the KWU contradict the Tanach.
