“didn’t understand the difference between Sunni and Shiite islam “
That the FBI actually believed this demonstrates how stupid and brain-dead the FBI is.
FBI “Pillars of Islam” that may not bdogma that may not be questioned and prevent the FBI from seeing the forest for the trees
Pillar 1 : Islamic terrorism is a police matter, not a war matter
Pillar 2 : States do not have terrorist front groups unless they admit it in writing and their president signs it and it is notarized
Pillar 3 : Terrorist groups cannot have their own front groups to make investigation more difficult even though in the past even al Qaeda employed front groups to take credit for acts by al Qaeda.
Pillar 4 : Sunni and Shiite never cooperate even though there’s evidence they have in the past because we must have been mistaken about the past
Pillar 5 : The Taliban had nothing to do with 9/11 even though they harbored bin Laden since 1996
Pillar 6 : Iran had nothing to do with 9/11 even thought Iranian officials helpfully did not stamp AQ agent’s passports when they transited Iran so that they would not have that red flag to explain when they entered other countries on the way to their targets.
Pillar 7 : Al Qaeda is no longer a terrorist threat to the US because Obama thinks it only had one member named bin Laden. Zawahiri is retired.
Pillar 8 : Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 because 9/11 was al Qaeda terrorism and Iraq was only helping and providing safe haven to Zarqawi’s group and Zarqawi was not al Qaeda because a Qaeda leaders once criticized something he did and because he had not sworn bayat to bin Laden... Never mind that after he did swear bayat and joined with Saddam Hussein’s top islamist general who was in charge of training terrorists under Saddam and, after the General swore bayat to Zarqawi, together they renamed his group al Qaeda in Iraq and then after the US withdrew from Iraq they went on to form ISIS, which we are told AQ still doesn’t agree with on anything, except when they do...
Pillar 9 : Thou shalt not insult ISIL by calling ISIL “daesch.”
Pillar 10 : Everyone’s a lone wolf terrorist except except single crazed white extremists who through the magic of radio are alway controlled by Rush Limbaugh and are supported and trained through a complex network which includes secondary talk radio hosts, Fox news, Tom Delay, the NRA, Citizen’s United, white straight midwestern males, and all Christian churches that do not have female priests and are not Unitarian.
