I specialize in Middle East and terrorism analysis focused on Shia militant groups, their ideologies, Iranian regional/strategic moves, and Shia jihadist culture.In late 2012, I created Hizballah Cavalcade on Jihadology.net. Hizballah Cavalcade is the only website focused on analyzing Shia Islamist group development. It was also the first page to announce the creation of many new militia organizations, threats, and topics related to jihadist culture. The structure of Hizballah Cavalcade has influenced jihadist studies and how social media can be utilized to examine extremist groups and individuals.
