" This isnt a jihad solely about Assads oppression...we are not just fighting against tyranny; Bashar Assad is only part of our fight.... The other groups are only a reaction to the regime, whereas we are fighting for a vision,..... We want the future that Islam commands. Not a country with borders but an umma [worldwide Islamic community of believers] of all the Muslim people. All Muslims should be united,
His goal is the same as the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists:.... A Caliphate.... And hes not just talking about bringing together Muslims; hes talking about punishing Muslims that, in his opinion, arent devout enough:
He further stated:
There is a difference between the basic kuffar [infidels] and those who converted from Islam.... If the latter, we must punish them.... Alawites are included.... Even Sunnis who want democracy are kuffar as are all Shia..... Its not about who is loyal and who isnt to the regime;... "its about their religion"...... Sharia says there can be no punishment of the innocent and there must be punishment of the bad; thats what we follow.
Assad moves all ‘rebel’ prisoners to likely sites of US bombing
I wonder if he will thank the Obama Administration for leaking so many details ahead of strike too. /snark
Important read ....
... Obamzo is ‘fabricating his Intelligence’ to coincide with his agenda rather than using the intelligence to speak as it is.....
“IT IS DISQUIETING THAT THESE CHEMICAL WEAPONS INCIDENTS OCCUR AT CRITICAL MOMENTS OF PROGRESS ‘FOR’ THE ASSAD REGIME”......
Despite the growing influence of al-Qaeda within Syria and throughout the region, and the UKs own assessment that al-Qaeda in Syria is working tirelessly to obtain the regimes stockpiles of chemical weapons, ......British Foreign Secretary William Hague described the possibility as vanishingly small that affiliates such as the al-Nusra Front could have been responsible for the recent chemical attacks. ... The CIA might beg to differ:....
... in a 2007 report titled,... Terrorist CBRN: Materials and Effects, the agency asserted:
.....Al-Qa’ida and associated extremist groups have a wide variety of potential agents and delivery means to choose from for chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) attacks.........however,...... most attacks by the group....and especially by associated extremists...probably will be small scale, incorporating relatively crude delivery means and easily produced or obtained chemicals, toxins, or radiological substances ...
.....Their capacity has grown substantially in the subsequent years...... In fact, al-Qaeda has a long and well-documented history of obtaining, developing, and deploying chemical weaponseven in the Syrian theater.....
... In May, Turkish authorities disrupted a Jahbat al-Nusra cell and discovered “Sarin” gas in the possession of the militants;........ it is worth noting that this is the precise chemical agent supposedly used in the small-scale attacks in April, ‘which the Obama Administration attributed to the al-Asad regime’.
..... Following closely after this event in Turkey,.... the ‘Iraqi government’... claimed to have disrupted another major al-Qaeda plot... involving chemical weapons, these to be deployed on a massive scale....
It is clear that al-Qaeda and its affiliates within and around Syria have access to chemical weapons, as well as the intent to deploy them.
As it relates to the evidence against the al-Asad regime, after reviewing all of ‘the intelligence the United States’ and its allies provided in April, the United Nations experts declared that it was NOT up to UN standards and ordered their own investigation.
Subsequently, Carla del Ponte, the chief UN investigator, declared the evidence her team had gathered suggested strongly that the rebels had carried out the attacks in question (using Sarin gas).
After calling for the al-Asad regime to allow UN inspectors to investigate the most recent chemical weapons attack, ...following the Syrian governments surprise decision to facilitate the investigation, ....claiming they could prove the attack was launched by the rebels,..... the United States,... France,... Britain... and Israel.... expressed a total disinterest in any subsequent findings by the investigators, ...and an unwillingness to wait on the UN report:
..... they have already decided that the regime was the perpetrator. Britain has gone so far as to suggest this coalition may choose to intervene in Syria without a UN mandate.
