In 2012, 70% of global terrorism was committed by Sunni Islamists, according to the National Counterintelligence Center. I would like to share the Shia stat with you, but it wasn't even listed, presumably too negligible. When the Iranians start exporting hate to every corner of the globe, I'll reconsider my position. That's what the Saudis have been doing for years and continue to do. If you don't know this, you haven't been keeping up with the times.

What I do know is that Iran supports the two biggest terrorist groups on the planet and...hates the West...and...hates Israel...and...thanks to mainly Obama now has nuclear capability to express all that hatred...and has some very formidable and wicked allies in Russia and China. All these things NOW make them far more dangerous than the Saudis. And all this makes them more of influence upon the affairs of the entire world...not just the Middle East.
