Uh Oh - Legitimizing Jihadism in Syria isn’t Working Out

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

So much for wishful thinking that a Syria liberated from the monstrous Bashir Assad regime would become a pluralistic democracy if only an al Qaeda veteran named Abu Mohammed
al-Julani were fatuously transformed into a “moderate” politician and put in charge of the country.

 

In recent days, his designated terrorist group, known as HTS, and its Turkish enablers have made clear that their intentions are very different, witness the torching of Christmas trees, the
murderous destruction of a shrine holy to Alawites and genocidal attacks on Kurds – setting the stage for the same to be done to other minorities.

Joe Biden has effectively greenlighted such crimes against humanity and invited worse by lifting the 10 million dollar bounty on al-Julani’s head and beginning to provide funding to
his regime.We must jettison this formula for far worse to come in Syria,
and beyond.
