This would be a start to having a basic, 6th grade level understanding of the situation in terms of who is whose ally and why.

Well, I'm not on the right, but anyone should be able to tell you that Hez is mainly Shia. Sunni is the majority sect and they consider the Shia to be heretics.
...but you don't need to be a majority to cause a problem.

Not accurate in the least.
Long before there was Afghanistan, there was Iran. And the radicals have managed to be quite successful there for some time. The current Iranian Pres was part of that original radical movement.
Hez is completely their tool, in part to breed more radicalism.
That is all.
