"According to its authors, Islamic countries were "full of discontent and frustration" and were aware of their "inferiority." These feelings manifested themselves in "killings and terrorism," which were reported in "daily news accounts." The analysts knew about the feud between the Sunnis and Shi’a. They also knew about Wahabism and the Muslim Brotherhood."
