Remember how secular Saddam Hussein would never work with Wahhabist Al Qaeda? We know that was a false claim. But there are more and more proof points, as if they were needed, that there is a global anti-Western coalition that is comprised of both Shia and Sunni Islamists and "secular" Arab regimes, all of whom are provided with support from non-Islamic, but Western-hating regimes in North Korea, Venezuela, Russi and China. Here's another article about such cooperation (between Sunni Al Qaeda and Shia Hezbollah):

al-Qaida's no. 2 leader on Thursday warned that the terrorist group would not stand idly by while "these (Israeli) shells burn our brothers" in Lebanon and Gaza.

In a taped message broadcast by al-Jazeera television, Ayman al-Zawahri, second in command to Osama bin Laden, said al-Qaida now saw "all the world as a battlefield open in front of us."

Sure, there is a great tradition of Shia and Sunni Muslims killing eachother, but there is also an Arab proberb: "me against my brother, me and my brother against my cousin, me and my brother and my cousin against the stranger." So anytime you hear somebody flatly deny collusion among disparate parties because of their varying ideologies, remember the proven links, and note that, right now, the unifying ideology for them is hatred of liberal Western democracy.
