What if there was a Shia Islam version of al-Qaeda? Wait, that's what Hezbollah is, isn't it? I guess Hezbollah is high-profile but not higher in profile since even though it virtually controls one country's government and is backed by two states considered by the U.S. to be rogue regimes, the organization didn't do anything on the scale of 9/11.

So, could Hezbollah have done something similar to 9/11? Would they even want to? al-Qaeda, I'm beginning to think, has far less centralized organizational infrastructure compared to Hezbollah, since again it basically controls one country and regularly goes to war with Israel, an NGO vs. a nation-state as if it's the Brotherhood of Nod or something.

Also, to those who have a deeper understanding of Islam: are there or could there be any large Islamic terrorist groups based on other schools of thought within Islam other than Wahhabism, Salafism, and Khomeinist Shia revolutionary Islamism?
