Yet again, a failure to understand what the jihad is all about. Jihadists, including some brides of the Islamic State, are not influenced by a criminal mindset; they are governed by Islamic religious zeal, which commands that believers work to expand the realm of the believers by both stealth and violent means. Many Islamic State […]

What Has Prompted the Druze Anti-Regime Protests In Syria
The latest anti-regime protests in Syria have been prompted by the disastrous economic situation. The immediate cause was the regime’s decision to end subsidies on gasoline, and to partially lift the price controls on fuel oil. Those decisions were the last straw for many Syrians, 90% of whom are impoverished. “Druze protests expose the Assad […]
In Syria, New Protests Against the Regime
The Syrian civil war that began with protests against the Assad regime in 2011, by 2022 appeared to have been largely won by the government, after six million Syrians had fled abroad, five million remain internally displaced, and a half-million civilians have been killed. But now there is another flareup of discontent with the government, […]
Milley: Islamic State’s ‘ideology is not yet dead,’ so US will be in Syria for ‘many many years and decades to come’
Trump tried to get U.S. troops out of Syria, but his own special envoy for Syria circumvented the order and crowed about it. And so a profitable venue for the military-industrial complex was saved. And now this woke clown Milley tells us that “the ideology” of the Islamic State is “not yet dead.” Did he […]

Most Westerners, including lawmakers and policy analysts, assume that the Islamic State was defeated in Iraq and Syria in 2017, and that’s that.

Assad insists on pullout of Turkish troops, says Erdogan wants to ‘legitimize the Turkish occupation in Syria’
Tensions between Syria and Turkey are mounting, in yet another development involving Islamic conflict and division that involve violence. According to Bashar al-Assad, “Terrorism in Syria is made in Turkey.” Such conflicts often end up a problem for the West.

Syria: Sunni Muslims murder six Shi’ite Muslims with bomb near Shi’ite shrine
“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60) “Death toll rises to 6 in attack on Shia pilgrimage site in Syria,” EFE, July 28, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Beirut, […]
Syria: Assad seeks non-Muslims to help end his ‘pariah status’
The only way that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad can begin to encourage “a wider range of religions” to end his “pariah” status is to end Islamic supremacy in his country and encourage the freedom of religion, and that’s highly unlikely, because Iran supports Syria financially and “Tehran has continued to use Syrian ports—particularly the port city […]
Germany: Islamic State bride sentenced to 9 years for keeping Yazidi slave in Iraq
Islamic State (ISIS) brides are often as dangerous as their male counterparts, or even more so, since they have manage to fool too many infidels into perceiving them as the victims. Many have brutalized and enslaved people, and even served as accessories to their husband’s brutal rapes of infidel women. Then they deceive infidels after […]
