From #Yemen to #Sudan & #Somalia, #SaudiArabia repeatedly backs #Islamists & #extremists—while the #UAE supports more stable, pro-Western forces. @mrubin1971 argues #Riyadh is on the wrong side of this #rivalry. #Somaliland

Can anybody explain how Jolani and his syrian Islamists could cross the Euphrat river that quickly?

And how could they take Raqqa in a day or two?

Always keep this in mind:
Not all #muslims are #islamists.
Dare and care to differentiate.
Thank you. #PSA

And no: I am neither a muslim nor a Christian. I define myself as 2/3 agnostic and 1/3 atheist. No Christmas tree or candles here, sorry.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 2015, #Islamists associated with #Daesh (#ISIS) attacked #Paris, killing 130 people and injuring ~416. The main targets were the #Bataclan theatre and the #StadeDeFrance, though six sites were hit. The attacks were widely condemned in the #Muslim world.

In #Charlottesville Heather was killed by a FarRight supporter who drove into the crowd (like #islamists like to do - #farright & #islamism are the same?) There were #neonazi on one side and #antifa on the other side 10 years later, targetting antifa to frame the narrative: they are the #terrorist

What #Islamists did to #Yazidis in #Iraq:

• Elderly women buried alive for being too old to be sex slaves;

• Mothers forced to eat their own babies;

• Young girls locked in iron cages and burned to death.

We’re not a #genocidal entity.
We’re a #FAFO entity applying the FO to the genocidal #Islamists that chose to FA.

#Sharaa… has repeatedly vowed to unite all of #Syria's armed forces under one structure & govern the country, fractured by 14 years of civil war until #Assad's overthrow.

But incidents of sectarian violence, notably the killing of hundreds of pro-Assad #Alawites in March, have hardened fears among minority groups about the now-dominant #Islamists & sparked condemnation from global powers.

If the time after the end of the cold war would have really been used to improve and solidify democracy beyond electorialism instead of rolling out neoliberalism, we could stand a chance now.

#Syria 4/x

Although they (#HTS) have acted very pragmatically in recent years and, compared to others, relatively liberally and non-violently, with (among #Islamists) unusual tolerance of minorities, and as experienced mercenaries, they are better allies than enemies for the entire opposition. And it is HTS who we see at the forefront of the opposition's advance to the south...
