“We have a Free Syrian Army and a moderate opposition that we have steadily been working with that we have vetted.” — Barack Obama, September 2014
“Commander in the Turkish-Backed Free Syrian Army: We Will Go to Libya, China, and Wherever There Is Jihad; We Are Willing to Sacrifice Our Lives and Our Children for the Sake of the Ottoman Caliphate,” MEMRI, January 17, 2020:
Ahmad Shihabi, a commander in the Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) was interviewed on the Turkish Akit TV. In the interview, he was asked whether the FSA would send men to Libya, and answered that they would go “wherever there is Jihad” as soon as the FSA is “finished with the injustice” of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. He added that they would go to help their brothers in Turkestan (China). Shihabi said that the FSA is grateful to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for “what he has done for the Syrian people, on the humanitarian, military, and political levels”. Shihabi concluded that the FSA fighters are willing to sacrifice their lives, their children, and their elderly for the sake of their country and for the sake of the Ottoman caliphate. The interview was aired on January 17, 2020.
Interviewer: Will the Free Syrian Army send men to Libya?
Ahmad Shihabi: Inshallah, we will go wherever there is Jihad. We won’t stop. As soon as we finish with the injustice of Bashar, we will be among the first to go wherever there is injustice. Inshallah, just like we will crush the injustice of Bashar, we will crush the injustice suffered by our brothers in [East] Turkestan.

We thank the Turkish government and the great Turkish people. We are grateful to President Recep Erdoğan for what he has done for the Syrian people, on the humanitarian, military, and political levels. We have not been treated as Syrians but as brothers. In the words of President Erdoğan: We are the ansar and you are the muhajireen. We are willing to sacrifice our lives, our children, and our elderly for the sake of our country… for the sake of the Ottoman Caliphate.

oh, my, i’m shocked … simply *shocked*, i say.
is anybody really surprised by this? mr. obama, as a hard-core alinskyite leftist, has every intention of spreading chaos around the world as well as inside the u.s. it is not enough to bring down the largest free nation in the world so that the “smart people” (mr obama, et al.) can start running things; he also wants to help his cause seize power elsewhere. the ultimate goal is the same as that of the pious ummah: world domination. and don’t think for a second that just because not everything is immediately nationalized when the left takes over that they are not socialists; they are *fascists*, who are socialists who have realized that attempting to run everything through the party makes a lot less sense than running things at a higher level and simply inserting The State into the affairs of the stupid stinking masses whenever it is deemed necessary.
mr. obama may have been one of the first leftist thought leaders who figured out that pious muslims make a perfect proxy army to destroy the west: no resources need be committed, no control must be exerted, and the foot soldiers are *zealously* committed to spreading chaos and death. with no tracks leading back to the left, it’s a perfect setup. sieg heil, the wicked left is ascendant.

Some where in this post is the Forever War. “Ahmad Shihabi: Inshallah, we will go wherever there is Jihad. We won’t stop. As soon as we finish with the injustice of Bashar, we will be among the first to go wherever there is injustice.” Also, “Shihabi concluded that the FSA fighters are willing to sacrifice their lives, their children, and their elderly for the sake of their country …”. Remembering what is meant by injustice in islam, is not what is meant in the West.

You are so right and so few realize this!
“ mischief in the land “ as the Koran states is not merry pranksters running around a country but any opposition or criticism of Islam…….
In the Koran Mohammed said ( to excuse some of his thugs who killed during the holy months) “ Koran 2:217 “ “….averting people from the way of Allah and DISBELIEF IN HIM and preventing access to masjid al Haram ( or any mosque) and the expulsion of its people therefrom ARE A GREATER EVIL in the sight of Allah. And FITNAH IS GREATER THAN KILLING . …….”
( emphasis is mine)
So disbelief, and fitnah is worse than killing …..
And according to some imans , moslems in western countries tries feel that they are not being allowed to fully practice their religion ( because some of it is illegal by western law) so they feel justified in killing and waging jihad against the West.
And moslems don’t condemn terrorism ,or jihad because to them , terrorism and jihad are justified in these conditions…..and in some moslems opinions, justified in all conditions because that’s what is commended of moslems innthe Koran.
And moslems don’t condemn the killing of innocents by Jihadi, because there ARE no innocents if they are kufar…..Mohammed said of the kufar women and children in danger of being in harms way in a “ convert or die” early morning raid where Mohammed was present ……..“ they are of them” ……..so the same as a combatant…and equally open to attack and killing.
We all need to become familiar with the way Islam defines words ….
Islam is a revolutionary ideology. And like all revolutionary ideology’s it uses its own terminology to set itself apart for the “other”

Spot on, Lilith.

The FSA is either running out of work and money and/or is seeking to expand its mercenary operations. Obama’s support for them is consistent with his support for the Muslim Brotherhood everywhere.

Is it just me? or does anyone else notice that the loudest voices screaming for Jihad seem to come from the pricks who don’t go to the front lines and fight, but the ones who stay back in their flash houses, with the expensive cars, the western hotels, western restaurants and western women!
How stupid are these people who mindlessly follow them, much like the old time followers of the fat dwarf pedophile.
