Trust me we learned the hard way decades ago. They are not just islamic sects they are tribes, with tribal leaders and tribal ways. If you're not part of that tribe you might as well try speaking to a stone wall.

The only way to have a successful revolution or insurgency is to have the cooperation of one of the very large tribes.

Check out what's going on in Syria, the "rebels" can't even fight together because of their tribal differences.
