Haddad was identified as a Shia Muslim.
Every single attack in the West including 9/11 has been done by Sunni Muslims. Not a single attack by the Shia, not one ever.
The Imam at the mosque Briscoe and Green visited would certainly have made this point - Shia and Sunni each have their own separate mosques.
Indeed Sunni Islamists hate the Shia, who they regard as idolaters, even more than they hate the West.
The US cannot hope to formulate any kind of sensible policy towards Islamism until Americans understand this very basic fact about the schism in Islam.
