“What is the definition of terrorism or a terrorist?”
Qatar’s Islamist regime showed off its global power at its ‘Doha’ summit attracting everyone from Bill Gates to Tucker Carlson to current Syrian leader and former Al Qaeda leader Ahmed al-Sharaa.
The former terrorist leader who had a $5 million reward on his head when he was going by Al-Jolani was asked by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour about his terrorist past.
And Ahmed al-Sharaa predictably replied that it’s really hard to define what a terrorist is and that America, the UK and Israel are the real terrorists.
“What is the definition of terrorism or a terrorist?” Al-Sharaa, who had been originally backed by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the original caliph of ISIS, asked. “Saying that I was a terrorist and judging me as a terrorist is politicized.”
“Judging people as terrorists needs to be proven,” the head of a terror group that massacred numerous civilians argued. “There’s been 25 years of us hearing this word in the world, but there’s a lot of confusion in understanding the word terrorist. Terrorists, in my opinion, are those that kill innocent people, children and women. And that use illegitimate means to harm people.”
And if there’s one thing that Al Qaeda and ISIS were known for, it was their firm refusal to ever harm innocent people, children and women.
Ahmed al-Sharaa then claimed that the term ‘terrorist’ would be better applied to the non-Muslim countries targeted by Islamic terrorists.
“The number of victims in Gaza … most of them are innocent,” Al-Shara said, referring to the dead terrorists in his fellow Muslim Brotherhood terrorist groups. “We saw wars in Afghanistan, in Iraq, all of those that were killed were innocent – and it is the killers that describe others as terrorists.”
The last part is true. We’ve got an Al Qaeda terrorist now trying to flip the definition of terrorists to mean the United States and those countries resisting Islamic terrorism.
Al-Shara argues that most of the terrorists killed in Gaza were innocent, and apparently “all of those that were killed were innocent” in Afghanistan and Iraq. Including presumably Al Qaeda.
This does show real appreciation by Ahmed al-Sharaa for the way President Trump honored him by inviting him to the White House.
“Now, on a personal level, I have never harmed a civilian, I fought on several fronts and I fought for more than 20 years, with honour,” Al-Sharaa falsely claimed. “People now know that this description is not accurate, that is why I am no longer listed as a terrorist by the Security Council.”
Whatever his ‘personal’ level is, he headed a terrorist organization responsible for killing plenty of civilians. The only reason he was delisted by the Security Council was because Turkey’s Islamist regime helped him seize power, at which point he was no longer a terrorist leader, he was now the leader of a terrorist state.
Can anyone please help this man define ‘terrorism’?
abu taleb says
In the mind of Islamists, killing, robbing and raping for the sake of Allah is certainly an honor thing to do. It is not a terrirst act, but a pious act.
Non muslims must realize that the good and bad criteria in Islam is quite different from the rest in the world. As long as it is beneficial for Allah (and for muslims themselves) then it is a good thing to do, no matter what. So, raping women, men or small girls, killing and robbing non muslims, hitting wives etc are good thing to do for the Isamists.

Spot on.
somehistory says
The terrorist is like an abusive husband who claims that he wouldn’t have to beat his wife if only…so she is the guilty party.
Terrorists like this notorious murderer, excuse what they do and as a psychopath, points the finger at others who wish not to be victims, and fight back.
Terrorism: Illegal actions by persons or groups against the public in order to force governments to change policy.

Per The Daily Caller
Comedian and political commentator Bill Maher sparred with “The Young Turks’” Ana Kasparian on Monday as she blamed western civilization’s intervention in the Middle East for the oppression of women in Islamic countries
Kasparian said on the “Club Random Podcast” that she would not feel comfortable wearing her dress in any Middle Eastern country because the U.S. and other western countries destabilized them. Maher scoffed at her answer and argued that Islamic laws are attributed to the restrictive rules on women in Middle Eastern countries.
“I’m sure I would not be comfortable in this dress in any of the various Middle Eastern countries that have been destabilized,” Kasparian said.
“You’re not really blaming it on whitey, are you?” Maher asked. “You’re blaming Islam on whitey?”
“I’m not blaming Islam on whitey … Did we not destabilize — we were funding terrorist organizations in Syria during the Syrian civil war starting in the Obama administration,” Kasparian said. “Did that not destabilize Syria?””
“Maher told Kasparian that she is purposely avoiding the question because she does not want to acknowledge the truth about Islam’s role in oppressing women.
“The question is, if you had to pick a city, and you’re not answering that question,” Maher said. “You’re doing what politicians are doing and saying, ‘I don’t want to live in any of them. I want to live in America.’ That’s not the question. The question is if you had to pick, would you rather live in Tel Aviv, because I promise you, you wouldn’t last week in the other places and you could easily live in Tel Aviv. So if you don’t think that speaks to the difference between cultures and civilizations, then okay, we’ll leave it there. But I promise you that it does, and if you had to actually do that, I think you would agree with me.”
“Kasparian admitted that she would feel safer in Israel, but then criticized the country for its treatment of Gaza. “The Young Turks” co-host has been critical of Israel by accusing the nation of committing genocide war crimes and even acting as a “terror state.”

I think she’s another Armenian who is ignorant of history.
Why she’s on a show with a Turk is beyond me.
somehistory says
Thank you, GE, for your information. Why does anyone go along with muzzies?

Ana Kasparian is a useful idiot. How many of her Armenian ancestors were murdered by just these kinds of “young Turks”?
somehistory says
Her response to the questions verify that she is an “idiot.”
Winston 101 says
gravenimage,
Thank you for pointing her heritage out. Kasparian is her maiden name so she’s Armenian, right? That fact never quite landed with me.
Thanks for the assist.
Works for an organization called “The Young Turks”? SMH.

Yes–suicidal insanity.

He now wears a suit, therefore he’s not a terrorist
Just like his puppet-master – Erdogan!
somehistory says
Dr. Robert Hare described professionals who are also psychopaths as “Snakes in Suits,” and wrote a book with that title. This terrorist/nation’s ruler could have his photo included in a re-publishing of that book. erodgan could be too.
Debra Gour says
You could Add Yuval Hereri , Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates to this Book too.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
On a different note, this is the guy who Trump sprayed w/ cologne, and gave a perfume for his wife(s?). And this is the thanks he gets?
For ego reasons alone, Trump should reverse his recent overtures to Syria, and tell MbS, on whose behest he initiated it, that al-Shara’a has betrayed him. Let the Saudis give al-Shara’a a pep talk
Cynthia says
Islam is a terrorist ideology. They definitely do not live with the western idea of morality.
What a crock that this Al Qaida leader didn’t harm civilians.
Even in his new position, people of all ages have recently been slaughtered and mutilated among the Alllawites and Druze communities.
Daniel Dagovitz says
He is a terrorist who lies like a rug!
He needs to take his medicine; the 8mm Injectable Mauser kind!

Al Qaeda Leader Running Syria Says America Is the Real ‘Terrorist’
…………………………………………………
Well, of course! What is rape and mass murder compared to not wanting Jihadists to rape and murder your people? Bad dhimmis!
Linda Goudsmit says
Changing the definition of the words “terrorism” and “terrorist” is equivalent to changing the definition of the word “vaccine.” It is the weaponization of langauge for political purposes, and a powerful tactical strategy that lives inside Voltaire’s warning: “People who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” Absurdities are the hallmark of living in subjective reality––the realm where staggering hypocrisy and contradiction are ignored. It is Orwellian and it is madness. It also proves the title of my recent book, Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier––Reality Is (Linda Goudsmit, 2024).
Nick Geraci says
Why does the current administration support this terrorist and his assault on Syrian Christians?
OLD GUY says
Well at least he came out and said it like it is, Islam wants to destroy and take over America. That kind of debunks those who call Islam the religion of peace. Look out Islam is going to use our freedom of speech and expression to take our freedom away.
gravenimage says
Saying that Americans are terrorists but that Jihadists are no is not exactly telling it like it is, sadly.
Abraham du Prie says
Dear team,
Thanks for publishing another to the point article. For many people, this is incomprehensible, or more accurately, inexplicable. A Christian who takes the Bible to heart excels in love, on the other hand, a devout Muslim does not. That peace may reign.
