In the Name of Allah, the All-Beneficent, the All-Merciful.
May Allah bless Muhammad and his Family and damn their enemies.
The atrocious massacres, crimes against humanity, war of extermination, looting, and displacement Syria is witnessing confirm the truth of our, sadly ignored, warnings before these terror gangs tightened their grip over Syria. We warned against retreat, the disarmament of the resistance groups, and being deceived by the false promises of the terrorists that were meant only to buy time to consolidate their power.
Marginalised at large by the media and the governments of the world, these atrocities continue unabated. Meanwhile, the Shi’a nation’s leadership and numerous factions have, due to cowardice and inaptitude, failed to carry out their duty to defend the oppressed upon the earth and chose instead to leave Syria in the hands of the terrorist sons of Hind and Muawiyah to do with it as they please as they continue to shed blood and mutilate in increasingly sadistic ways.
So that we are not deemed neglectful of our duty by God, we renew our call for a direct military intervention with the support of the international community before it is too late, as the region will not know peace and security as long as these savages rule Syria, even if such an intervention necessitates a clash with a regional power such as Turkey. Undoubtedly, the cost of such an immediate clash far outweighs the future cost to the region if things are allowed to continue as they are.
We also do not doubt that the Shi’a nation is the strongest, and that even some of its medium-sized military forces are capable of bringing a swift end to the rule of these terrorists within days, and return those among them who survive back on the international most-wanted lists after matters are settled on the field. However, we cannot but lament this nation’s negligence, defeatism, and disunity that allowed the most vile of people to prevail over us.
In the past, our Master, the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him), said: ‘These people have only prevailed over you because they are united in their falsehood while you are disunited in your truth; they obey their Imam [i.e. leader] while you disobey yours; they fulfill their vows to their companion [i.e. the one they follow] while you betray me.’
It is apparent to me that the only solution is to raise a new generation of the Shi’a in a new homeland.
