A brief analysis of the rise of hate speech in Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad and Ahmad al-Sharaa’s rise to power, focusing on whether Salafi-oriented rule can coexist with an inclusive state that protects minorities.
Transcript
So, in short, for those who just joined
us, we reviewed at the beginning of the
anonymization as it sought one it sought
say
the names of research centers that
developed a vision for dealing with
Jihadi Salafism and we previously
reviewed that Jihadi Salafism is a
threat to the world and Western
interests and that in 2017
there is an author who wrote a book.
He uh yeah, summarized the the research
results of these centers and presented a
vision that includes evidence and proofs
for a change in the policy of the United
States of America specifically and
generally.
The Western world with Jihadi Salafism
and the transition from confrontation to
containment and the attempt to modify
the behavior of this Salafism through a
set of strategies, the most important of
which is the topic. First of all, we
have three axes. Acknowledging it, not
denying it anymore. It was terrorist, it
becomes non-terrorist, why not? Welcome,
come on in.
The topic of containment is an attempt
producing
a less extreme version of us by planting
it in moderate environments. Today, we
are talking about Syria and the other
important thing which we also need to
focus on is draining it. Draining it
through a set of examples they have
written, not me, of course. All of this
is in the book. You see, they have
provided examples.
Let them be distracted by identity. Let
them be distracted by tourism, freedom,
shorts, drinks, someone killed someone,
someone against someone. Let them fight
each other. It's a normal experiment
like they plan and watch the rats biting
each other. Why? To exhaust them because
it has power and they want to deplete
it. They want them to believe they have
become rulers.
And Uh, and they might continue and
treat them as rulers if the experiment
succeeds and drain their energy instead
of turning this hatred present in the
Salafi ideology and hatred of the other
and the big goals present in this
ideology into energy to deal with
endless problems. Without exploding in
Syria. Uh, and that's why you see they
measure problems happen. Even today you
see things distributed. I no longer look
at things innocently. Even in the media
we said, "Well, Qatar withdrew or didn't
withdraw." But you see the Emir of Qatar
being taken kissed to
uh, Al-Jolani. Uh, even she and Qatar
supports media with him and supports
media against him because they give and
take. It comes out. I don't want to name
media outlets. I don't want people to
attack me. You see that supposedly there
are people uh, uh, revealing the facts.
There are people confronting this
matter.
They basically have a plan to drain them
in addition to testing how they can
handle these matters. It's all recorded.
Now, how what what the let's say the
paper they have and what the indicators
are and what they do and how often they
measure, I don't know.
But everything happening today is
essentially a a big laboratory and they
are monitoring everyone. The laboratory
is not just for the Syrians. It also
includes Hayat Tahrir al-Sham itself,
its leader and all its members. They are
the ones under scrutiny. They are the
virus they want to see if it mutates.
That's why they are not afraid for it.
They don't want it to die.
I mean if it dies in the first test,
they they gain nothing. And then find a
country like Syria weak and surrounded
as we said and a weak virus that might
not be seen for 200 years. So they are
terrified that this virus doesn't die
here in Syria. That's why they keep
raising it every time it goes down.
Now here is an important point that will
explain a lot to you. I mean, see how
now all now all the puzzles we are
living today have become solvable in
front of us and have become as clear as
daylight. Here is a specific point and
as long as we said it, I started this
topic a year ago and more. I made a
recording called the Sunnis are the most
affected. I got
I wasn't I mean I I see what's
happening, but now today I can explain
it to them. Why the Sunnis are more
affected. Because when we say we want to
plant the virus of Jihadist Salafism in
a moderate environment to produce a less
dangerous and harmful variant that can
be used elsewhere. What is this
environment? This environment, if we
want to specify, is the moderate Sunni.
It means you cannot plant because the
host body here, if you want to plant the
Salafi Jihadist virus in the Alawites,
in the Druze, in Christianity, in the
Kurds, either the body dies or the virus
dies immediately. There is no room for
coexistence. There is no room at all to
conduct the experiment. The only
environment where you can conduct this
experiment is unfortunately the Sunni
sect.
In fact, it is the target. It is the
moderate one. It is hoped to be the
reason for modifying, of course with the
pressures and everything we talked
about, modifying this dangerous
terrorist virus
uh to become more moderate and less
dangerous. It cannot be done. Here they
had a problem with this matter. That's
why we see what they started with by
God. I mean, the era of this experiment
or what was the first harsh test in this
experiment was the massacres. The goal
of the massacres was to
Removing the names that cannot or even
here we have two points that cannot be
suitable for this test and if they merge
with the concerned segment. Here we see
the wall of hatred that has formed.
If it merged with the concerned or
targeted segment in the test, it would
eliminate the virus. I mean, if Syria
acted as one, minorities and the
majority as one Syrian people who
suffered and want to build a civil
state, the entire test becomes not
feasible. I mean, for implementation,
you need a laboratory.
There is a mass of moderately
Sunni Ash'aris, the non-extremists,
in whom we planted an extremist virus
and see how things will transform. So,
it was necessary.
How do we distance them? We want to
create a big rift.
First, by surrounding this, let's say
the host body, which is the Sunni in
Syria, with a belt of hatred, a belt of
cursing, hating, and suffering under
pretexts. I'm not saying they are right
or wrong, but this is what happened.
We encircle this society to make them
defend, to make them want this virus to
remain in their body, and we commit
massacres. Now, we can't say we planned
it to the millimeter, but we had to see
major events to distance these people.
Distance them from what? Or keep them
away from decision-making, keep them
away from society. So, we have a Suwayda
community, whether it becomes a state or
not, an Alawite community becomes a
state or not, that's not the issue. The
important thing is to see how the
behavior of this virus will be in the
moderate Islam present in Syria.
So, here
At
the the of the massacres is explained to
us why there were massacres, why there
was hatred, why this rhetoric, why they
came at us with hate speech up to this
moment of course to today. Now I haven't
talked about the details of the
developments today, but I hope that this
presentation might explain a lot to us.
