Christian Villages Are Burning While Syrian President Speaks at UN

Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa/Abu Mohammad al-Julani, a former Syrian al-Qaeda leader and a former ISIS (Islamic State) terrorist, is now the current, self-ascribed ‘president’ of Syria. He was in New York addressing the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) at the U.N. headquarters on September 24. Meanwhile, his Islamist regime was burning homes, villages, and forests in what is known as the Valley of Christians in Syria.

Julani has since returned to Syria, where his regime continues to murder and persecute members of religious minorities.

Syria: Al-Sharaa’s Campaign of Extermination against Druze, Minorities

On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners, flew them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, murdering approximately 3,000 people and wounding thousands of others.

In 2012, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi — the leader of ISIS — tasked Ahmed al-Sharaa (aka Abu Mohammad al-Julani) with forming a contingent of al-Qaeda in Syria. Sharaa then set up this al-Qaeda branch, naming it the Nusrah Front (Jabhat al-Nusra), and put into action taxing civilians, looting factories, and kidnapping civilians for hefty ransoms. At one point, the Nusrah Front was helping support the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq. In 2013, Sharaa declared the organization’s allegiance to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and expressed their “pride in the banner of the Islamic State in Iraq.”

Al-Sharaa’s Damascus Regime: Is Sharaa Really Doing All He Can or Was President Trump Set Up?

One of the most unheralded geopolitical developments in the Middle East, following Israel’s military victories over regional enemies, is Israel’s diplomatic reaction to the new regime of Ahmed al-Sharaa (aka Abu Mohammad al-Jolani) in Syria. Recent meetings in Paris between high-level Israeli and Syrian diplomats have reportedly resulted in a de-escalation of tensions as well as in establishing significant security improvements for Israel along its border with Syria.

What al-Sharaa’s Army Did to the Druze in Sweida

After the IDF went into action to stop Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s army from continuing its bloodbath in Sweida, by bombing 160 sites in Sweida itself, and in Damascus, hitting the army headquarters and a place close to the presidential palace by way of a warning, the Syrian dictator pulled his troops back and declared, despite the mounting evidence to the contrary, that he was the true “protector of the Druze.” Not many Druze in Syria, and none in Israel, believe him. The latest report on how the Druze are reeling from attacks by al-Sharaa’s army can be found here: “Bodies and looted homes: Syria’s Druze reeling after Sweida bloodshed,” Reuters, July 18, 2025:

In the Heart of Berlin: Hundreds Celebrate Massacres of Druze

In front of Berlin’s Rotes Rathaus (Red City Hall), the seat of the city’s mayor, nearly 400 men—many of them reportedly Syrian refugees—publicly celebrated the recent massacres committed against the Druze community in Syria. Eyewitnesses report that chants included “Out with the Druze!” and “Today we liberate Suweida, we will break the Druze,” along with calls for rape, murder, and ethnic cleansing. Although 65 police officers were present at the scene, they did not intervene.

‘They executed him then called his wife to brag’: Inside the Druze city ravaged by militias

Dr Talat Amer, a surgeon at Sweida National Hospital in southern Syria, worked tirelessly for three days as bombs fell and the building came under siege from government and militia forces.

On the fourth day of fighting in the Druze-majority city, Dr Amer was shot in the head as he tried to return to work.

“He was dressed in scrubs and they executed him. Then they called his wife on his phone and bragged about it,” Sami, a surgeon at the hospital, told The Telegraph. Witnesses reported it was regime forces wearing Islamic State badges on their military fatigues.

Syria’s new dawn is already a nightmare

Fighting has engulfed the Druze-majority city of Sweida in southern Syria, leaving over 200 people dead. This week, Druze villages have been overrun by Syrian regime forces and allied Islamist militias under the guise of ‘restoring order’, only for those forces to unleash executions, looting and arson upon Druze neighbourhoods. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 92 Druze were killed (including 21 civilians executed by government troops) in the space of a few days. In one incident, an 80-year-old Druze sheikh had his moustache, a symbol of honour, forcibly shaved by invading fighters. He was reportedly killed shortly afterwards. This is, it appears, the dark reality of ‘national unity’ under Syria’s new rulers.

‘There were bodies everywhere’: Druze residents describe ‘bloodbath’ in Syrian city Suweida

Over the last five days, Rima says she has witnessed “barbaric” scenes.

The 45-year-old Druze woman has lived in the southern Syrian city of Suweida her whole life, and never thought her once-peaceful hometown would become the scene of a bloodbath.

“There were bodies everywhere outside our building,” she told the BBC in a phone interview, using a pseudonym out of fear for her safety.

Will Syrian war criminals ever face justice?

Tadamon Syria Massacre

After an alleged war criminal was set free, Syrians are questioning whether their new interim government genuinely wants justice after 14 years of civil war.

The gruesome video first made global headlines three years ago. At around six minutes long, the film clip, leaked by a former militiaman loyal to deposed Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, showed the massacre of at least 41 men.

Blindfolded, they were coaxed, pushed, or forced into a mass grave, where they fell onto the corpses of those who’d been killed before them, before being shot themselves.

The West’s Betrayal: From Fighting Terror To Embracing It

The United States has just given official approval for Syria’s new Islamist extremist jihadi regime, led by former Al-Qaeda and ISIS commanders, to integrate thousands of foreign jihadist fighters into the national army. Fighters who joined the jihad from China, Central Asia, Europe, and beyond—many of whom have already committed massacres, atrocities, and religious and sectarian cleansing on Syrian soil.

This isn’t counterterrorism. This is state-sponsored radicalisation with a U.S. stamp of approval.

Let the world remember who Abu Mohammad al-Jolani is…

Liberals fear setback as Syria orders women to wear ‘burkinis’

Syria’s government has banned bikinis from public beaches in a set of new guidelines that limit women to wearing “burkinis” that cover the entire body.

The move revives concerns by liberals after the government, led by President Sharaa, sought to allay fears that it would impose a strict interpretation of Islam after toppling Bashar al-Assad in December. Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda commander, oversaw an Islamist government in his former bastion, Idlib, before leading his troops to the capital, Damascus.

Syria’s Christians Have No Future There

Sunni Islamist terrorist gangs are still slaughtering minority Alawites in coastal Syrian towns. Thes atrocities began on March 8, allegedly in response to attacks on government troops by remnant forces of the deposed Alawite Assad regime. Some Syrian Christians were also slain, but allegedly were not specifically targeted by Ahmed al-Sharaa’s new government of Hayat al-Tahrir (HTS).
