Syrian rebels vow to conquer Israel, Iran and Spain

Of course they blame the West for their becoming "Islamists." Yet despite their recent conversion, they seem well-versed in the Islamic supremacist agenda of reconquering lands that were once ruled by Muslims and that they thus think belong to Islam forever: "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out" (Qur'an 2:191).

"Syrian Rebel Founding 'Robin Hood Brigade' Vows to Conquer Israel, Iran, and Europe," from MEMRI, October 21 (thanks to Mackie):

Following are excerpts from a clip featuring rebel fighters in Aleppo, Syria, which was posted on the Internet on October 21, 2012:

Syrian mujahid: We will move on. When, Allah willing, we cleanse Syria, we won’t stop there. We will continue to the Shebaa Farms and Kafr Shuba, and we will pass through the Golan Heights all the way to Jerusalem. And then…

Other Syrian mujahid: All the way to Persia.

Syrian mujahid: Then we will make an about-turn, cleanse Iraq, where there is still some filth. After we are done with Iraq, we will move on to Constantinople, and then Cordoba and Andalusia. That’s it. Now that we have weapons, we don’t intend to ever lay them down.

The West, Bashar, and America should be happy. This is what you get for supporting the Bashar regime. We told you that we wanted freedom. If you had removed him, you’d never have heard from us again. You have brought this upon yourselves. We have become Islamists. We have become terrorists. You forced this situation upon us. You could have called him up and said: “Bashar, get out.” He would have left. But instead, you supported and financed him. Why? Because he serves as [Israel’s] border guard.

WE MUST DIFFERENTIATE between (at least) three types of rebels in Syria.

1) Bands of War in Syria. A band is composed one leader AND the men following him. The leader shall provide guns to his warriors.

A band of war is not Army-like. We shall identify the most active and agressive gangs by: the face of their leader AND the logo of the band. One of the biggest gangs is that of Abu Issa.

Another one is that of Jamal Maarouf, AKA Abu Khalid. He's the face the Syria Martyrs Brigades, a coalition of various bands of war. I call this band The Shields, in reference to its logo.

2) The Free Syrian Army (FSA)

Colonel Riyadh al-Asaad and Brigadier General Mustafa al-Sheikh of the FSA

This is the shadow Army of the Assad Régime. The armed revolution began with the creation of the FSA.

The head of the Military Council in Idlib is Col. Afif Suleiman. Here we see him with one of his regiments, the "Northern Shield":

The Free Syrian Army is building the shadow State apparatus, the apparatus that could provide the structure of the new Syrian State, after the revolutionary war. This structure is not rigid yet, it is incipient, in process of formation. It is forming alliances with bands of warriors, by producing administrative units (Military Councils) that try to coordinate together gangs and the military elements that defected from the Assad regime.

Abu Issa of The Falcons, for instance, is part of the Idlib Military Council (FSA) headed by Suleiman. On the other hand, the band leader formed a coalition of his own. In September 12, a YouTube video appeared in which Abu Issa announces the birth of the Jabhat Tahrir Syria (the Syrian Liberation Front).

“We acknowledge the others, just as they acknowledge us," he said to Time magazine. "The military councils can be a part of it,” he said. Abu Issa's new Front regroups several formidable outfits, including the Farouk Brigades of Homs.

What is also interesting is that the Free Syrian Army appears to be in competition with other forces aiming to build the new state of Syria: the Syrian National Council [now rebooted into the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces], largely sponsored by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Obama regime, in... Istanbul.

The Muslim Brotherhood arm on the ground of Syria appears (I'm not sure yet) an al-Qaeda front, although it is being said that the Muslim Brotherhood is hedging their bets and backing a few FSA councils too.

c) Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda is the face of a leader AND a network of groups sharing the SAME network of media production and distribution.

When a band joins al-Qaeda, it becomes a Front (Jabhat), and carries the black flag of al-Qaeda media production and distribution al-Manara al-Baida (The White Minaret).

The AQ Front in Idlib is al-Nusra (more about the group here). They announced their formation in Janurary 2011. (See al-Nusra's official statements here.)

Al-Qaeda sponsors a global jihad movement toward the caliphate. Its leader, Ayman al Zawahiri, called for the jihad to be waged in Syria via: "Onward, Oh Lions of al Sham" [al Sham= Syria]

"I appeal to every Muslim and every free, honorable one in Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon, to rise to help his brothers in SYRIA with all what he can, with his life, money, wonders, opinion, and information."

Al-nusrah is the main al-Qaeda Front in Idlib.

On 24 January 2012, al Nusrah claimed an attack against a military target in Syria (Idlib), near the Turkish border. Since then, writes the International Crisis Group in this document, al Nusra "regularly takes responsibility for suicide attacks in civilian neighbourhoods; is viewed by al-Qaeda as the favoured Salafi-jihadi group; and employs an online media dissemination strategy akin to that of al-Qaeda affiliates and offshoots" (p. 10). Al-Nusra's statements and videos are all issued by the White Minaret. And those videos are posted on Shamikh al islam.

To this day, al Nusrah remains the sole active jihadi group in Syria to receive the direct endorsement of pro-al-Qaeda online forum administrators and prominent Salafi-jihadi figures, to have its propaganda material accredited by al Qaeda’s media distribution network and advertised on Shamikh al Islam, the leading pro-al-Qaeda forum. Most material on the Shamikh forum is produced by al Qaeda affiliates and bears the label of the al Fajr Media Centre, the online outfit responsible for distributing al Qaeda material.

Thanks for the ping, it’s difficult to tell the players without a program.

[smokingfrog]

A target rich environment...

[Katechon]

Amon the bands of war, the program varies along different leaders.

Many gangs are incorporating themselves within the FSA, which aims at building a secular state.

Al-Qaeda wants Syria to be part of the coming Caliphate. So does the Muslim Brotherhood.

The FSA and many bands of war furiously oppose both al-Qaeda and the MB, — even if they are allied against the Assad regime.

[Katechon]

For some reason I wouldn’t know how to explain, I kinda like Abu Issa.

[Servant of the Cross]

Thanks for the ping and well documented analysis of the 'rebels' in Syria.

The 'Brotherhood' and its comprehensive ties to the 0bama administration demand scrutiny and a light shone upon it. Andrew McCarthy does this. His article Understanding the Brotherhood shows how the Saudis have bought off both political parties in the US.

[Katechon]

Paging McCarthy. (The other one.)

MCCARTHYISM: THE ROSETTA STONE OF LIBERAL LIES

[Vendome]

Great idea! Take over Spain for 400 years or so and like the last time you filthy reaches were kicked out and Columbus set about the ocean blue as part of their coming out celebration, we’ll launch ships into wild blue yonder looking for distant lands and new treasures.

Or something like that.....

[PhilDragoo]

Katechon, thank you for the clarity you provide.

I posit DBA OBAMA is son of Al Hajj Malik Al Shabazz who converted and forecast unforeseen change: and now the Muslim invader is in the White House.

Hillary hosted Arafat most; her everpresent deputy Huma is maternally linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Benghazi operation was part of the Arab Spring, the US-CIA-NATO empowerment of the jihad under guise of popular democracy.

Has CFR advanced from Gates-Brzezinski's Iran: Time for a New Approach to a green bloc of the western Islamofascists contending with the Putin retro-Stalin mafiya black bloc and the Sino Strike Hard red bloc.

And to think Romney naively promised to find the rebels who reflected our values and support them.

The rebels who reflect our values are infidels, dead men walking.

There is no good to come of this.

Send in the neutron bombs.

Remember...?

Leon Uris ('The Haj')-

"Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel"

So all going well they'll cull themselves before what remains comes up against us. I do like to see them all with guns pointed at each other. That's how mohammad wanted it; allah's work is being done and we need to stay out of it.

For a long time, I wondered what Malcolm X meant when he said he had started something that could never be stopped. Now I think I know. After studying sunni islam at the al-Anzar mosque in Cairo before his conversion and taking part in the hajj in 1964, it was he who brought the muslim brotherhood to the blacks in the US, under the guise of MUSLIM MOSQUE...his work was 'interrupted' but his son carries on.

[Katechon]

“it was he who brought the muslim brotherhood to the blacks in the US, under the guise of MUSLIM MOSQUE...his work was ‘interrupted’ but his son carries on.”

Hmmmm.... very interesting Mr Nerks.

[Fred Nerks]

Just by coincidence Malik Shabazz studied islam at the al-Azhar mosque in Cairo - where obama gave his first overseas speech in 2009...

For Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government, more battle tanks and jet fighters are on their way from the United States.

I’m compiling a bunch of data on this al-Azhar mosque. Looks like it’s a crucial nexus.

Take care of your own. Hard times comin’.

“...Malcolm encouraged Muhammad to move the sect towards greater synchronization with orthodox Islam. Malcolm advised that the leader study Arabic before going to Egypt and planned to return in six months. Perhaps due to Malcolm’s advice, or to his own experiences in the Middle East in early 1960, Muhammad did in fact move the NOI in this direction: “temples” were renamed “mosques,” Arabic instruction was instituted, and his son Akbar was sent to study at Al-Azhar University...”
