It is very easy for agents of western imperialism to use religious sloganeering as a mask for their material interests. Sectarians will always side with imperialism if imperialism stretches out its hand and offers them a role as ruling compradors, who will sell out the whole nation in exchange for enriching the sect’s well-connected. History has born this out many times, with the Saudis as the classic example, and this is why sectarians despise secularism, pluralism, or communism, as these ideologies are a roadblock to their greedy ambitions.
A group and its leaders can only be judged by their actions, whereas these commentators insist on separating HTS’s pious religious words from their zionist imperialist actions. This tells you what you need to know about these commentators.
As you note, the resources are banked in New York, funding neighborhood killing bombs and F35s for the unmasked western colonial project digesting Syria Lebanon Jordan Saudi Arabia Egypt with minor vassals like Sisi on the road to Iran.
Alhumdulillah and yes it seems propaganda and mis and disinformation has effectively clouded most of the ummah unfortunately or imposed rose coloured glasses.
How could takfiris be positive from any angle, they have and will kill Muslims for their own reasons without or without a theological basis how could that be positively viewed.
Indeed. And I just can't wrap my head around how some prominent imams in the West are lauding these developments. It defies belief. I have no idea if they genuinely believe what they are preaching or are getting paid to say what they are saying. I would love to know what's driving their takes.
Similar thing happened in Indonesia amongst salafists and HTI Hizbhut Tahrir Indonesia after the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban, they are good Muslims and all will be fine, seems the vocal support for the Taliban ev
aporated when reality was realised.
Seems Jum' at Salah and sermon afterwards are taken as gospel in certain sects of Islam or because of outsiders paying Ulama as you suggested was possible. Online dakwah influencers seems to be a big thing similar to Facebook etc and ulterior motives appear front and centre. The vast majority of preaching/ dakwah is correct but Gulf state fundamentalism is a problem in the largest Muslim nation as elsewhere it appears.
Absolutely!! All of the above you stated. Why the people in west Asia still haven’t learnt the lesson of the western imperialism???!? I’m very saddened that after decades of brutal tyranny from the Assads’ the Syrians and the population didn’t learn the lesson from their neighbours countries as you mentioned, Iraq Libya Egypt Tunisia not mentioning Lebanon or Palestine!! They passed from one bloody tyranny to another with AL Quaeda ISIs with better dresses all in the pockets of the IsraHell jew supremacist entity USA and Turkey already starting to invade and parting the country. Syria has been a secular country there are many different religious population groups, like Armenians, Kurds, Alawitis, Christians, Shia as to name some, but now as Al JEWlani stated in his very OPEN DEMOCRATIC speech yesterday there will be only the Islamic sovereignty ruling. And forget the Palestinian resistance of Hamas or Lebanese of Hezbollah, they won’t see anymore not one bullet to fight the satanic IsraHell. Well good luck to all the ones who are rejoicing right now, you’ll realise how good your life will be under IsraHell and sell out Al JEWlani dictatorship.
It’s a case of “out of the frying pan into the fire.” These foreign fighters will deliberately use Islamic terminology and give the impression that they are somehow setting up an ‘Islamic state’ while they attack Mosques and Churches, release mobs on Muslims, Christians, Sunnis, shia, alawites and every other group. In this way they hope to fuel internal conflict pitching every part of Syrian society against each other. I hope the leaders of these communities and the people will counter these lies by speaking up in defence of each other. By making it clear that these people do not represent Islam or Muslims, or anything at all like what an ‘Islamic state’ is meant to look like. By defending each other’s sacred spaces, rituals, communities and peoples.
This is so true and when you try to explain this to Syrians they accuse you of supporting the Assad's regime as if it's either this or that, I wish real freedom to Syrians
2. These Zionists (who helped send Jewish people to the 'gas chambers) have managed to (not so secretly according to some) built rich reserves of money.
3. ALL the US has always wanted was money. The Zionists tapped into this. It's called greed.
4. USA lives on borrowed money from the Zionists?
5. Every time the USA uses terrorists: What are they doing and why? I posit a question here.
The USA knows damned well that the minute they institute a draft in the USA......people will come home in body bags. The people in the USA have had enough of this warmongering.
6. Can the USA afford billions to keep these 'terrorists' under their thumb?
7. The minute some other country offers more to these 'terrorists'......where does their allegiance go?
8. USA by paying billions of dollars to supposedly 'keep safe' the USA Empire have unleashed on the world more terrorists.
9. Good luck to you USA.
10. You cannot control these people. They have money now.
People are simply being fooled by the intense psyops on the media coming from Arab and Western countries. YouTubers are hardly reliable commentators for the most part. These pundits don’t speak for Muslims as a whole. In conversations with real people - Muslims from different walks of life and backgrounds- people are not fooled. But I also have heard otherwise intelligent scholars wavering on a clear-headed understanding of what is happening. It really is an overdose of ‘Hopium’ as you put it, combined with normalcy bias.
The worst thing we can do is equate these voices as representing Muslims or think of these foreign fighters as representing the aspirations of Muslims-whether in Syrian or outside of Syria. Everyone who cares for Syria and for humanity needs to counter the psyops by reiterating the unity of all Syrians-Christians, Muslims, Shia, Sunni, Alawites, and everyone else. No one should fall for the rhetoric or give it some sort of validity by equating these foreign fighters with the aspirations of Muslims globally or within Syria. And everyone should exert all their efforts to try to keep Syrians united. That is the only place where hope lies to counter the plans of these wicked people and prevent Syria from being torn apart.

And the people are unfortunately deceived by this religious mask and think they will become free
Excellent article!
Thank you Diane.
Superb! Thank you. My heart is full of dread but at least I know I'm not alone in thinking these thoughts.
TL;DR Sunni preachers and commentators are happy to give Zionist genocide a pass, as long as the Shia get beat up.
I hate the fact that this sounds true.
As you note, the resources are banked in New York, funding neighborhood killing bombs and F35s for the unmasked western colonial project digesting Syria Lebanon Jordan Saudi Arabia Egypt with minor vassals like Sisi on the road to Iran.

Inshallah all will come out in the wash.

Brilliant. Thanks for this.
Seeing through the 'crap.'
1. The USA is OWNED by Zionism.
2. These Zionists (who helped send Jewish people to the 'gas chambers) have managed to (not so secretly according to some) built rich reserves of money.
3. ALL the US has always wanted was money. The Zionists tapped into this. It's called greed.

Well said
In what soil are the leadership’s roots nourished
What hand holds the watering can
That will quench the rulers thirst....
Western soil and water
Produce “Strange Fruit”
Miss Billie sang about that
