This is what I'm worried about too, they're defenetly going to allow isis to launch an assault on Iraq if they do so. 

 

They need to do this instead with Syria:

This is incredible, america destroys a nation, then they pretend like they care after they destroyed the country. "Opps, we messed up, we put terrorists in power again". 

Remind this animal who put the Cesar sanctions on Syria and destroyed its economy after the initial illegal millitary regime change failed? Oh that's right, Donald Trump did, he put the sanctions as an alternative to the democrats failed dirty war against bashar and his solution worked, it hurt regular syrians, it made them starve and go into bread lines and caused their economy to crumble which not only hurt ordinary civilians, but also caused more corruption within the millitary and made them demoralized due to their low salaries which later allowed these terrorists to roll through.

Trump shares a huge responsibility for these terrorists getting in power, if it wasn't for his brutal inhumane sanctions, none of this would have happened. Now they're pretending to be the saviours and they pretend like they have legitemate concerns about flying planes into buildings.

Being an advocate and apologist for ethnic cleansing and genocide and encouraging others to follow in my footsteps will do wonders for me on the Day of Requital — you're right, my giggle emojis are an unforgivable crime — yeah, I should take a long, hard look in the mirror (sarcasm) 

I was really in two minds whether I should even bother responding, but since it is important to respond to your slanderous strawmanning, here goes. 

1. You are yet to prove, with valid arguments and proof, that what transpired was indeed a 'genocide'. So far you have responded only with vacuous virtue signalling, red herrings and laugh reacts. 

2. The talk of the 'day of reckoning' because you have likened sinful yet Shii kings with rotten nasibis who fought, hated and killed the Ahl al-Bayt (ams). But I don't expect you to grasp what their wilayah entails. 

3. Writing (sarcasm) at the end of something doesn't make it sarcastic. You are throwing around accusations without realizing their gravity. 

9 hours ago, Eddie Mecca said:

On the one hand, you're bragging and being unapologetic about the massacres and attempting to rationalize the body count by comparing it to October 7th — on the other hand, you're deny the massacres ever took place (or claiming the carnage was grossly exaggerated) by challenging the historical accuracy of the total number of people killed — either boldly embrace the slaughter or sheepishly disavow or shy away from it — pick a stance already and own it!

No, I am not brazening out on any massacre because you have to establish first that there was indeed a massacre. You have not- and can not- do that because there simply hasn't been one. Iran's conversion from Sunnism to Shiism doesn't necessarily mean that it was a forced one- England turned Protestant from Catholic almost overnight with Henry VIII's institution of Protestantism as the state religion, and there was religious violence there as well, but nobody ever says that the Tudors genocided or ethnically cleansed English Catholics to convert them into Protestants. 

Nor am I condoning any excess. You are simply inventing phantoms and fighting them yourself. There is no dichotomy between not endorsing the desecration of Sunni shrines and other excesses by the Safavids, and understanding why they and their Shia supporters acted like they did. Do we condone every excess that oppressed people commit during their violent outbursts? No. Do we nonetheless possess a sympathetic understanding of why they acted like they did? Yes. 

I am not the one being duplicitous here, it's you who is being dishonest by putting words in my mouth and inventing strawmen.

According to the latest statistics approximately 5 - 10% of Iranians are Sunni 

And that's still a substantial population. South Asians are only about 8% of UK's total population, but you can find them in practically every street. They are a visible and substantial minority. 

Also, a lot of Persian Sunnis (yes, Persian, not Arab or Balochi or Turkmen) left for greener pastures in the Gulf kingdoms after the oil boom, so that has contributed to the decline in Iran's Sunni population. You can still find their descendants in Kuwait and Bahrain.

Stop cursing, it's the holy month of Ramadan for crying out loud — control yourself!

I am only following the 'Sunnah' of our beloved Ahl as- Sunnah brothers and their (and your) 3 August Rashidun Caliphs in the interest of 'Muslim Unity', isn't that good?

Neither is being overly critical of Iran for engaging with Sunni Islamist groups or subtly implying we should collaborate with the Zionists or give the imperialists a "Get Out of Jail Free" Monopoly card because 'they're not the ones blowing up our shrines' as you once put it (paraphrase)

Again, inventing phantoms and fighting them yourselves. 

There's no denying that these powers are fomenting conflict and helping nasibi militants and their house-'Shia' proxies to add fuel to the fire. It is equally false to think that it all started with them, and it was all butterflies fluttering and roses blooming before they set foot in the region. 

And yes, I still stand by what I said. They are not the ones blowing up our shrines and asking to violate our womenfolk and parade them in open air sex-slave markets.

Your command of the English language is impressive — SPLENDID DICTION! — you appeal to raw emotionalism — you'll cite a useful anecdote or reference a hurtful historical incident — you attempt to stir up deep resentment and fiery sentiment by using inflammatory language — language that's premeditated and carefully calculated — you exploit people's longings and emotions and then attempt to redirect their energies in unhealthy and unfruitful ways — you use emotional manipulation in order to stoke sectarian animosity and antagonism —

 

Talking of 'sectarian antagonism', my challenge to you and your fellow campaigners of calumny still stands- get a dozen, a measly dozen out of the billions among them, to condemn the crimes of their leaders, past and present. At the minimum, get them to admit that what Saddam did at Najaf, Karbala and Dujail was wrong; get them to admit that the bombing of the Askariyayn shrines in Samarra was wrong, that what their Syrian 'revolutionaries' did at Hatla and what their Iraqi 'revolutionaries' did at Camp Speicher was wrong. That what is happening at the coast now is wrong. 

Then we'll talk about 'emotional manipulation'. Get me those dozen upright souls. 

Can you?

Imam Ali (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) warned about allowing anger to rule us and about the detrimental aftermath — it can lead to regret and sorrow — the actions and decisions we undertake may harm ourselves or others — we may later realize that our anger clouded our judgment — with regard to Sunni hatred and sectarianism,

How is pointing out an obvious fact 'letting anger cloud my judgement'? 

I have merely said that-

1. The rabid anti-Shia genocidal mentality is not limited to the Salafis, but is present in a substantial chunk of non Salafi Sunni population. 

2. A big chunk of them hate us for reasons that has absolutely nothing to do with geopolitics- which is, simply for being who we are. 

Both of these are happening right before your eyes as I speak.

the Qurʾān clearly states, "And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it."  

In all honesty, do you actually know (or care to know) the true exegesis of these verses from the Ahl al-Bayt (عليه السلام)? 

Because if you did, you wouldn't bring these verses up, plus, don't they apply to the people for whom you are playing devil's advocate too?

Salam this is blatant accusation which you have repeated it too many times ; while you have not any evidence or reliable document about your blatant accusations against Safavids except rhetoric of bloodthirsty pro neo Ottomans while there is reliable evidence even from Ottoman sources which Ottomans kings who have started slaughtering Shias  by Sultan Salim the infamous Ottoman king in name of Sunnism ;which you  in losing battle have tried to whitewash Ottomans j& alter history in their favor just based on youe blind grudge against Safavids ; which you are trying to alter history in favor of bloodthirsty Ottmans 

Shah Ismail Safawi was a Shi’a and Sultan Salim the Ottoman was a Sunni by faith. He obtained a fatwa from some pseudo-ulama that Shi’as were beyond the pale of Islam and should be killed necessarily. On this basis, he exterminated the Shi’as.1

1.Khazri, Al-Bilad ul-Arabiya Wad-Dawlat ul-Uthmaniyah, Pg.400, 1960 Edition.

 

Shi’a And The Despotic Rulers

Muhammad Jawad Mughniyya

The Ottoman Empire

In the 16th century, most Arab countries were under the control of the Ottoman Empire. Sultan Salim, the 9^th sultan of the Ottoman Empire, annexed Hijaz and Egypt, and thereafter Sultan Sulaiman Qanuni conquered the remaining Arab cities. During this period, three big Islamic states were established:

1. The Ottoman State, being Constantinople as the capital.

2. The Safavid State, with Tabriz as the capital.

3. The Mamluk kingdom, whose capital was Cairo.

Quote

It is written in the first part of Ayan ash-Shi’a: Sultan Salim killed forty to seventy thousand persons in Anaz ul-on account of their being Shi’a. Ibn Sabbagh Maliki writes in Fusul ul-Muhimma:

 

The atrocities of the Ottomans were not limited to the Arab cities and to the Shi’as. They ousted Shi’as from all small and large government departments. They restrained the Shi’as from performing their special religious duties and did not allow them to perform their religious acts in Syria and the localities in which their number was small. These hardships continued for four hundred years (1516 -1918 A.D.)

Quote

During the Ottoman period the great Shi’a scholar, Muhammad Ibn Makki was martyred. He is more famous as the 'Second Martyr'. His books are still taught in the religious universities of Najaf and Qom.2 Jazzar, the Governor of Akka (near Jebel Amil) repeated the evils of Hajjaj.

Ottoman persecution of Alevis

Quote

The Ottoman persecution of Alevis is best known in connection with the Ottoman sultan Selim I's reign (1512–1520) and his war against the Safavids in 1514. But there are examples that indicate that there already existed problems with Alevi groups in the Ottoman Empire since the 14th century, The Alevis were generally persecuted for sympathizing in the negative role of Safavids.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_persecution_of_Alevis

Massacre of the Telal

Massacre of the Telal occurred in 1517 when Ottoman Turks fully took control of Syria at the end of the Ottoman-Mamluk war.^[1] The massacre began when the Ottoman Sultan Selim I summoned some Sunnite religious leaders and obtained from them a fatwa to fight "infidel" Alawis. The ensuing massacre resulted in the deaths of 9,400 Shiite men assembled in Aleppo.^[2]

Syria Strikes Lebanon After Blaming Hezbollah for Killing Troops

Story by Sherif Tarek

 •

 

(Bloomberg) -- Syria’s military fired rockets and shells at Lebanon on Sunday after accusing Iran-backed Hezbollah of executing three Syrian army personnel, sparking unusual tensions between the two war-ravaged neighbors.

The Lebanese militant group abducted the army personnel in an ambush on the joint border west of Syria’s Homs before killing them in Lebanon, Syrian state-run news agency Sana reported, citing a statement from the defense ministry. The ministry described the move as a “dangerous escalation” by Hezbollah, saying it would take all necessary measures to respond. 

 

 

 

 

Hezbollah’s media office denied the group was involved in the events that took place near the border, Lebanon’s state-run news agency NNA reported. Rockets fired from Syria fell in Lebanese territories near the border, according to NNA. No casualties were reported.

Syria’s new government has been engaged in deadly battles with forces it says are affiliated with the former regime of President Bashar al-Assad, who was toppled in December when the rebel Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham group led an Islamist uprising against him. The group’s head, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, declared himself president in January.

Hezbollah, whose military abilities were largely degraded in its war with Israel last year, was one of the key allies of Assad during his decades-long rule. The group played an important role helping the autocrat survive the civil war that erupted in 2011.

This is what I mean by how western media lies a lot, they're so disingenious, they repeat verbatim what HTS regime propaganda pushes as if it's factual even when the story makes absolutely 0 sense. 

 

Here is the actual story:

3 Syrians, presumably HTS terrorists, entered Lebanon illegally and tried stealing livestock, the people told the terrorists to get out, the situation escalated until the 3 Syrian HTS terrorists were killed. The red cross apparently delivered their bodies back to Syria. 

HTS terrorists got angry when they received the 3 dead and started firing and shelling at Lebanon, killing 1 lebanese child. The fighting between the armed lebanese clans and HTS terrorists has been going on since yesterday, with the lebanese army comming to support the lebanese clans against HTS terrorists. 2 lebanese civilians were also kidnapped by Syrian terrorists and beheaded (Mohammed and Ahmed Nour Medlej) and the fighting is still ongoing. 

 

 

As for hezb, they denied these accusations that they had anything to do with it and I 100% beleive them, it's ridicilous to beleive they had anything to do with this, they're in the middle of a mess with israeli terrorists, they take responsibility when they make these attacks and kidnappings, they don't kill the people they kidnapped and the story makes 0 sense too. You mean to tell me, hezb kidnapped 3 Syrian hts terrorists, brought them to Lebanon, killed them, then left them on the feild for the red cross to collect them and send them back to Syria???? I'd rather beleive the first story, especially when HTS thugs and their media are liars like Israel. 

 

 

Its also worth noting that the lebanese clans have nothing to do with hezb, they're just lebanese clans armed to the teeth and they don't mess around, I even saw a video today of them bombing Syrian journalists. These are the same clans that gave HTS an a** whopping a few weeks ago and they are no joke. I even heard some of them are actual drug cartels but I don't know the veracity of these statements. Killing one of their children yesterday was a very barbaric and stupid move.

Regarding Iran "abandoning" the Axis of Resistance — It raises certain questions in my mind like: 1.) What are Hezbollah's short-term objectives? 2.) What are Iran's short-term objectives? 3.) What exactly are the Resistance Axis and Tehran's long-term objectives in the region? If Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq or Yemen face an existential threat will Tehran consider that a red line and intervene? Is the situation against Israel and the Collective West winnable?

 

[Eddie Mecca]

A thought on the Syrian "Civil War" (2011) and the recent Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham victory: 

1.) Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham victory can be viewed positively — positively, in the sense that the Ummah has largely finished experimenting with secular ideologies and earnestly wants to return to Islamic goverance — here are some undeniable examples: Islamic revolution in Iran (1979), Taliban in Afghanistan (1996, 2021), Pakistan’s partition from India (1947), rise of Neo-Ottomanism in ultra-secular Turkey, Hezbollah's humble beginnings and subsequent rise to prominence in Lebanon (1985 officially), Houthi takeover and victory in Yemen (2014), Hamas winning elections in Gaza and replacing Fatah as the official governing authority (2006), Mohamed Morsi (i.e. Muslim Brotherhood) free elections triumph in Egypt (2012), Islamic Action Front (IAF), becoming the largest party in the Jordanian parliament (2020), victorious coup of Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood (1989) and on and on — forget right or wrong, forget good or bad, forget whether you agree or disagree etc. for a moment — the point here, is that the Ummah is calling for the reestablishment of Islam as a complete, comprehensive and holistic way of life and this yearning will ultimately culminate with the advent of the prophesized Mahdi (peace be upon him) and his awaited government — the enemies of Islam realize this, and they're working tirelessly to prevent this reality from happening — hence ISIS, Jabhat al-Nursa etc. are Western attempts to uglify images of Islam and overlay them onto the collective consciousness of the Muslim masses — people are naturally drawn towards beauty — and they intrinsically retract from that which is universally considered unattractive, hideous, backward, barbaric, repulsive, evil, obsolete etc. — fake and phony representations of the caliphate are meant to leave an indelible foul odor and such a bad aftertaste in the mouths of Muslims — that the Muslims themselves will seek its obliteration and never look back — but, "They plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners" (Surah Al-Anfal, 8:30)

Salam your base assumption about abandoning the Axis of Resistance by Iran is a totally void accusation which usually you are under influence of anti Iran rhetoric & neo Ottoman favoritism which Iran doesn't exposes it's cards also it won't be act in a  predictable procedure by Zionist & America which nobody can  guess it in a public forum likewise here.  which talks about it on Internet & social media are just guesses based on previous reactions as predictable procedure which maybe will happen or not .

This is compaing apples with oranges which all Sunni movements except Hamas election & somehow election in Egypt are not popular movement which rise of Neo Ottoman in Turkey clearly is a zionist backed movement which based on ultra pan Turkism which just uses Sunni Islam as flavour ; which coup in Sudanese has no validity which it has been  forced on Sudanese people in similar fashion Taliban in Afghanistan & separation of Pakistan from India has been an English plan  , and IAF is just a joke as a show off by Jordanian king in order to fool Jordanians which misused leaning of people to Islamic governance which  these Sunni movements Except somehow Hamas movement don't have a goal for preparing ground for reappearance of Imam Mahdi (aj) which these movements just based on seeking power by it's so called leaders which only Hamas is an exception .

I saw that video too, hes been this pessimistic on the AOR for a while and he stated that because he sees it as fragmented and gone, he even made an appeal to Trump to make a phone call and tell turkey to stop this mess(he did say he has barely any faith Trump will do anything because Trump is evil, but by making a plea he did his part), his mentality is Syrians won't be able to resist, he thinks no resistance will come from the ashes and this is just wishful thinking and he doesn't want to sell people wishful thinking, so his mentality is salvaging this mess and trying to get as few people killed.

thats what HTS is here for, thats why we can't ignore the bad and good. HTS is even worse than isis at this point, because even isis had some honesty, HTS lies like Israel lies and I understand where you're comming from, but in Syria the reality is HTS was not and is not popular in Syria, most syrians despise and fear them and they're tarnishing the image of Islam a lot, I'm seeing so many Christians and alawites now hate mainstream Islam because of them. Most syrians would not mind Islamic law if it was done right, but the damage hts is doing is causing more and more people to dislike our religion and now Syria will probably be fragmented into multiple states, with a secularist alawite state in the east, a zionist druze south and a secularist Kurdish north with a landlocked fake salafi extreemist caliphate.

https://interbellumnews.com/conflicts/lebanon-and-syria-reach-ceasefire-agreement-following-border-clashes

 

"A fierce and prolonged border clash erupted yesterday, continuing into today, resulting in multiple casualties among civilians from both Syria and Lebanon. Additionally, the HTS-led Syrian Ministry of Defense has officially confirmed the deaths of 12 Syrian soldiers. The exact number of Lebanese Shia clan fighters who lost their lives in the confrontation remains unknown, as no official figures have been released.

 

Reportedly, the clashes started when three soldiers of the HTS-led Syrian Government crossed into Lebanon and harassed a Lebanese family, attempting to steel the sheep of a farmer. As a result, the farmer's family opened fire, killing all three soldiers. The Syrians then started firing rockets into Lebanon, which prompted the local Lebanese clans to return fire, escalating the conflict. Similar clashes erupted several weeks ago, when HTS fighters stormed a majority Shia village on the Syrian side of the border and harassed its inhabitants, prompting the Lebanese Bekaa clans across the border to respond in defense of their relatives."

This is compaing apples with oranges which all Sunni movements except Hamas election & somehow election in Egypt are not popular movement which rise of Neo Ottoman in Turkey clearly is a zionist backed movement which based on ultra pan Turkism which just uses Sunni Islam as flavour ; which coup in Sudanese has no validity which it has been  forced on Sudanese people in similar fashion Taliban in Afghanistan & separation of Pakistan from India has been an English plan  , and IAF is just a joke as a show off by Jordanian king in order to fool Jordanians which misused leaning of people to Islamic governance which  these Sunni movements Except somehow Hamas movement don't have a goal for preparing ground for reappearance of Imam Mahdi (aj) which these movements just based on seeking power by it's so called leaders which only Hamas is an exception .

1.) There's some validity to what you said about Erdogan using neo-Ottomanism as a cover to disguise his Turkish nationalist ambitions - I agree - 2.) Castro did a coup - the Houthis did a coup and ousted the Saudi puppets al-Hadi and Saleh - sometimes coups can be a good thing - not all coups are bad - Nasser and the Free Officers did a coup with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood - I'm not a big Nasser fan, but he was definitely better than King Farouk - Assad family did a coup in Syria during the 1940's and their rule wasn't great, but at least they maintained an anti-imperialist stance for decades - they were superior to their Arab neighboring countries in this regard - every country is different, each time is different and unique - Iran was ripe for revolution in 1979 and the Iranians did it perfect - but not every country can topple a dictator perfectly like the Iranians did - it will vary depending on the mood of the people, the era, the political climate or atmosphere etc. - there are numerous factors that play a determining role - demanding and insisting that every nation overthrow their tyrannical governments in exactly the manner as the Iranians is unreasonable and unrealistic- everything you mentioned proves my point that the Ummah wants Islam - if the Jordanian government has to fool its citizens with a fake Islamic movement (as you put it) rising to prominence then that still means that a substantial percentage of Jordanians want Islam to be center stage  - but the Ummah keeps being fooled by these false movements and groups - Sunnis must learn faster and wisen up - Shi'is are much harder to fool in this area

"Syrian government forces kill 72 Alawites in new wave of sectarian massacres"

@mahmood8726 At this stage I suspect that the collective West (including Israel), Turkey, and the GCC have achieved most of their regional aims. The campaign against the “Axis of Resistance” was always tied in part to the Abraham Accords and economic integration. Neither the West nor Israel attempts to undermine the GCC or Turkey, territorially or otherwise. Now that the “Resistance” has been weakened, the players are willing to accept a more centralised post-Assad regime under HTS, hence the moves toward reintegration by the Kurds (SDF) and Druze. (After all, they have managed to accept the KSA and the Taliban’s “emirate” in Afghanistan.) Ultimately I think the “powers that be” are pragmatic, so long as their goals are attained. Sometimes fragmentation is seen as necessary, but not always.

Lebanon too, this is not a good sign. Especially when some maronite fascist "Christians" are getting bolder with their claims of wanting to normalise, just last week one of them went on lebanese TV and told the host I beleive, "you should say you want peace with israel now willingly, because in a few months you won't have a choice to say it". Many people took it as a joke, but I don't, they're passing it as a joke in order to normalise this rethoric, to normalise having peace with a genocidal entity.

It is clear that Syria may normalize soon. 

Notice he also said Lebanon.

The Arab Christian fascists are all trying to utilize the situation to their benefit by fishing in muddied waters. The 'Syrian Christians' telegram channel is blasting the failed Christian fascist Lebanese government for being too soft on Hezbollah; these crusader rent-bois want Hezbollah disarmed (they can try doing that, lol) and blame the Shia and Hezbollah for bringing the war to Lebanon. 

These ingrates do not and will never acknowledge all that we did for them in Iraq and Syria- opening our shrines for them to shelter in, rebuilding their churches, sacrificing our boys to defend them. 

They want to create a 'Christian Levant', a return to mandatory Palestine, Syria and Lebanon ruled by their colonial 'Christian' daddies from Europe. 

The patrimony of Imam al-Asr (aj) will never be allowed to become a Roman Empire 2.0 neo colonial client state, whatever their wet dreams. 

We will fight to the last Shia who is alive. The crusader rent-bois can lick the boots of their colonial daddies.

Russian Troops Deploy Across Latakia Countryside for First Time Since Assad’s Collapse

This morning, Russian forces began deploying into multiple towns surrounding the Khmeimim Airbase in Latakia, marking the first deployment outside Russia’s bases on Syrian soil since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government.

Russian troops have taken control of al-Qubaisiya, Bakhdarmo, and Khirbet al-Ashar. The stated goal is to bolster security around Khmeimim and relieve pressure on the 7,000+ Alawite civilians who have sought refuge within the airbase amid growing instability.

@mahmood8726 Incidentally, this offers indirect evidence that the U.S. and Israel do not support the disintegration of Syria—as of now. After all, Secretary of State Rubio recently praised the agreement between Syria and the Kurdish-led SDF, so the major stakeholders in Syria have confidence in al-Jolani‘s leadership. (So far the Kurds are following Turkey’s lead by reconciling with HTS. After all, Trump has good relations with Erdoğan.) The collective West, Israel, the GCC, and Turkey are behind this; moreover, Russia and HTS are evidently cooperating. (Both have agreed to retain Russian bases.) Additionally, the Syria–SDF agreement still allows the U.S. to maintain a military presence in eastern Syria and help the Syrian government work with Israel and Co. to counter the “Axis of Resistance.” Currently a centralised Syria would actually be better able to counter Iranian influence than an alternate setup, so the major parties are backing al-Jolani.

Since Imam mehdi (aj) won't appear until the cursed sufyani appear then what's happening now its just inevitable and unfortunately that means things will get worse.

Since Imam mehdi (aj) won't appear until the cursed sufyani appear that means its inevitable that if not millions, hundreds of thousands of innocent people going to get killed or oppressed.

It means innocent people in countries such as syria, Lebanon, iraq etc are very likely or perhaps inevitably get killed or oppressed

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised with what's happening even though its really heart breaking.

Am I wrong

Salam it's not inevitable which every one & any country can do anything even minimum effort for stopping killing innocent people & their oppression which at least we can be unhappy from this situation in our hearts so then pray for hastening reappearance of Imam Mahd (aj) more & more also prepare yourself for his reappearance by any means   in our safe places.
