Dear Dr. Rubenstein, would it be possible that we spent some time in class to discuss and review the uniting role of Mughniyeh, on euniting terrorists of all shapes and colors to "willingly collaborate with one another against their common enemies in the West"? Similarly, his work as an Iranian agent, which points to Iran's central role in sponsoring jihad throughout the world
What were some of his tactics in bridging these connections between Shiia and Sunni, despite their union against a common enemy?
It seems that it would be more beneficial for the West to separately ally its enemies, so as to avoid the union between secular, nationalist, religious, Islamist, Sunni and/ or Shi'ite terrorists against the West.
