He's no Sufi. His young religious exposure was Indonesian, which I believe is Sunni. I'd hope so--Sunnis want victory, Shiites want victory through Armageddon and the rebirth of the Imam that went down the wishing well.

So if he’s a Sunni, he attacks Iran. Crypto-Sunni Islamofascist killing Shiite Islamofascists. Sounds good to me. Too bad he’ll be using US troops, though. But seriously folks, Israel does not have the wherewithal to do it. We’d need an aircraft carrier and pilots trained for carriers. We don’t have those, and we don’t have contiguous borders with Iran, either. You need either one or the other, and you have the first. So you’re elected. Since you also need ground troops, we’ll parachute them in. But you give us the tactical air cover, and supply lines to your big ship. There. Now we have a plan. Bibi? You lurking on Freep?

“Shiites want victory through Armageddon and the rebirth of the Imam that went down the wishing well.”

Not all Shiites are Twelvers (Ahmedinejad is), but most of the jihadis/terrorists are Shiites (Al Queda, for example). They are brutal fundamentalists who want to obliterate Israel. Sunnis tend to be more reasonable in that area. The Shah of Iran was Sunni while Khomeini et al were Shiites.
