Press Release
The Chemical Attack and Western Military Intervention in Syria!
(Translated)

All of a sudden, the conscience of American and British newspaper writers awoke to report the horrors of the chemical massacres in the country side of Damascus and calling for military intervention against Bashar Al-Assad in Syria for his brazen move that transgressed red line for using chemical weapons.

Everyone is asking what is behind this two and a half years late awakening of the conscience regarding the blood bath spilled by the Assad forces and his allies? Death by chemical weapons is horrific for one, but death is the same to the victims of exploding barrels, scud missiles, gun shots, tanks or other methods of killing and torture used by Assad forces and his allies in a desperate attempt to eradicate the revolution in Syria.

Indeed, we too have our suspicions to what is behind this awakening. And we specifically want to bring to the attention of our people in Ash-Sham the plots that are drawn against them behind the scenes in the capital cities of the colonial crusaders.

Previously John Kerry, the American Secretary of State, stated after an hour and a half long meeting with the his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, in the American Embassy in Brunei on the 2nd July 2013 that both parties are committed to hold the Geneva 2 Conference in the coming month of September.

This conference aims to transfer the power to an interim government in Syria regardless of who has the upper hand on the battlefield. At the same time the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, has stated after a very long meeting with his American counterpart in Washington on the 9th August 2013, that the American and Russian officials agreed to the importance of holding the Geneva Conference for the peace in Syria as soon as possible and that they will convene another time at the end of the month to prepare the talks. The spokesperson for Al Akhdar Al Ibrahimi, Khawla Matar, said in a press conference in Geneva that he believes that this alleged chemical attack in Syria this week should speed up preparations to hold an international peace conference in Geneva and it must prove to the world that there is no military solution.

We would like to say to our brethren in Ash-Sham to be warned of the plots of the colonial crusader western countries, and to be aware that they may try to fool you with their deceiving crocodile tears and may claim that they have love and sympathy for the victims of the American agent Bashar Al Assad, or that the French and British leaders, the inheritors of the evil colonialism which they enforced by the Sykes-Picot Accord, have any humanitarian feelings or justice.

Indeed, the Kufr states have unified against you, some will try to compromise in order to gain a large piece of the cake even if the result is the death of your sons and brothers.

You must grasp onto the rope of Allah and be sure that victory is from Allah. You must preserve your revolution in its purity and clarity that started with the slogan, "It is for Allah, It is for Allah", and do not subject it to cheap deals and bargains at the negotiating tables at the Geneva Conference and the like.

We call upon you to stop all the agents who are promoting the poisons of a political solution that America and its agents are panting behind. And you have Egypt as a lesson and example for what took place. So do not accept for your Deen to be humiliated and do not accept anything less than the complete victory by raising the banner of Tawheed and win both worlds.

(يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَتَّخِذُوا بِطَانَةً مِنْ دُونِكُمْ لا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالاً وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الآياتِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ)

"O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason." [TMQ 3:118]
