USA today explains Hamas to its readers: (It said: "The tiny, crowded Gaza (now informally dubbed Hamastan) risks becoming a terrorist center and incubator -- one more blot of extremism in a region increasingly spattered with them, from Iraq to Iran to Lebanon. Although Hamas is Shiite and linked to Iran, the al- Qaeda terror group, which is Sunni, is making gains among the impoverished Gaza youth. Both share a hatred of Israel and, by extension, the United States." Now, there is this correction added to the link: "A previous version of this editorial identified Hamas as a Shiite, not Sunni, Muslim organization." (thanks Yasser)
