Press Release
Bashar's Regime, America's Agent in Damascus is the Head of Terrorism with Support from Washington
(Translated)

The Washington Post reported on 25/01/2015 CE that the police in the city of Mariupol, south of Ukraine said that the rebels loyal to Russia fired on Saturday morning bursts of rockets (Grad) on the residential neighborhood in Mariupol, what caused the deaths of at least 30 people and wounded dozens more. Ukrainian President Poroshenko considered the missile bombing as "a crime against humanity", while the National Defense Council Secretary, Alexander Thorshinov, made the Russian President Putin "fully responsible for the attack." NATO also condemned the support of Russian troops to the rebels in the east of Ukraine with advanced missiles and drones and demanded Moscow to halt its support; Latvia, the current President of the European Union, called the EU foreign ministers to hold an extraordinary meeting to discuss the situation.

If the killing of 30 people from the civilians in Ukraine is considered a crime against humanity, then what is the killing of 250 thousand martyrs in Syria by the Assad gang and his allies? What is the forcing 12 million to become displaced at home and abroad called? Escaping the hell of indiscriminate shelling having no mercy on the young and old, including the recent dozens of civilians who were killed and injured in a rocket attack on Friday, 23/1/2015 CE by the American regime aircraft in Damascus on the Hamouria in Eastern Ghouta city in the countryside of Damascus, targeting popular market crowded with shoppers, which coincided with the intensification of the American regime in Damascus for raids on cities and towns of Douma, Arbin, and Zamalka in the countryside of Damascus.

This regime, in which every 4 minutes it arrests a citizen, and every 10 minutes injures a citizen, and every 13 minutes kidnaps a citizen, and every 15 minutes kills a citizen, and every day kills 8 children, and every day kills 4 civilians under torture (statistics of victims of the Syrian regime's crimes from mid-March 2011 to 31 October 2014)... Despite all this from the criminal regime of Bashar's barbaric practices, America does not regard it as a terrorist regime, but calls for an international coalition to confront radical Islam terrorism, and overlooks the actions of its agent in Ash-Sham and his friend in Baghdad, with the help of its tools in Iran and its party in Lebanon, and the silence of the Turkish army as the silence of the dwellers of the graves.

For how long, O Muslims will you remain silent over the criminality of these rulers and their complicity with colonialist states in disappointing your people and your brothers in Ash-Sham? Do you not see the conspiring crusader in broad daylight against your brothers and people in Ash-Sham the house of Islam?

O military leaders in Muslim countries, are you not part of this Ummah that you pledged to defend it against its enemies, will you not answer the call of Allah who invites you for that which pleases your Lord and gives you the glory in both realms and join those who work to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" on the method of Prophethood, which is the glad-tiding of the servant and Messenger (saw) of Allah.

(يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ)

"O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered" [Al-Anfal: 24]
