The correct answer is neither, actually. they are not Shiites, but they are also not Sunnis.

The nice folks at Al-Qaida think that they are Sunni Muslims. In fact, they are not.

A "Sunni" Muslim is one who follows the Sunnah (the example) of Prophet Muhammad. Now since Muhammad never allowed terrorism (he only fought when there was no choice, and he only fought against enemy soldiers, and never ever against civilians) then they clearly violate the Sunnah - completely.

They are a deviant sect which has gone far beyond Islam.
