Press Release
John Kerry: "We do not want a Regime Change in Syria."

In an interview with the channel "Russia 1" on Saturday 19 December 2015, and in his answer to a question about whether Washington is seeking to overthrow the regime in Syria, the US Secretary of State John Kerry stressed that his country "is not trying to change the system of government in this country." He added: "This does not mean that we generally want to change all aspects of the Syrian government. No, we want to keep the Syrian state institutions."

This statement clearly reveals the hypocrisy of the US policy; in 18/8/2011 Obama said that Al-Assad must step down from power. Then multiple and repeated statements were made which says that "the days of Assad in power are numbered," and that he has "lost legitimacy". Between one statement and another, the US administration continues to overlook Assad’s crimes that are immeasurable, despite all the accounts and irrefutable reports, and the recent of those is the Human Rights Watch report entitled "If the Dead Could Speak: the mass deaths and torture in Syrian prisons", published on Wednesday, 16 December 2015 and confirmed that it "found evidence of widespread torture, beatings, starvation and disease in the Syrian government detention centers." The report proved with irrefutable evidences the brutal crimes that led to the killing of hundreds of thousands of detainees in Assad's prisons under brutal torture.

Even after the decisions of the Vienna Conference in 30/10/2015, the criminal regime in Damascus is still pouring its “hot lava” on unarmed civilians in Syria, and is further bolstered by his partner in crime Putin in the killing of more people in Syria, by bombing the popular markets, hospitals, schools and other facilities, and all this with the American green light, that does not see evil except in the scarecrow called “ISIS", but instead Kerry calls on the criminal’s Ambassador to unite the "moderate opposition" forces with the forces of the regime to fight “ISIS”.

Despite the wounds of the people of Syria, Kerry declares that America wants to maintain "the Syrian state institutions." And which "institutions" does he mean? It is the repressive intelligence institutions and devices that serve American policy and have surpassed in brutality all the historical criminality of its predecessors in Stalin, Hitler and Pinochet’s regimes, which include unspeakable crimes against humanity.

Of course, we are not surprised of America’s hatred and explicit conspiracy against the Islamic Ummah, this is the attitude of successive American governments since America’s aspiration to inherit European colonialism in Muslim countries. However we will not stop at Kerry's statement, in the same interview, it states: "The Vienna negotiations showed that Russia and the United States and Iran are sticking to the same position which is a political solution to the Syrian crisis." Congratulations to the leaders of Iran for their "unholy" alliance with both the heads of Kufr, America and Russia, and we say to them you have failed and disillusioned us by your endeavor to serve, "the biggest Shaytan" to suppress the revolution of Ash-Sham. And we also say to those rushing to the conferences of Riyadh, Istanbul, Geneva, Vienna, and New York: Shouldn’t you be ashamed of panting behind the global leaders of colonialism, especially America, which covered up the crimes of the Baathist, An-Nasiri regime in Syria in the era of the father and the son? Are you still fooled by the United Nations that is "United in its war against Allah and His Messenger," that it still wishes the best for Syria and its people or the Muslims wherever they are? Those of you who have an atom’s weight of good should renounce America’s rope and hold on to the rope of Allah (swt), and those who insist on appeasing America will end up ashamed and disappointed in this world before the Hereafter.

((إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَسَيُنفِقُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُونَ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ يُحْشَرُونَ))

“Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allah. So they will spend it; then it will be for them a [source of] regret; then they will be overcome. And those who have disbelieved - unto Hell they will be gathered” [Al-Anfal: 36]
