“Islamist militant group claims deadly bombing of Alawite mosque in Syria’s Homs,” France 24, December 26, 2025:
At least eight people were killed in an explosion at the Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib Mosque, an Alawite-majority site in Homs, on Friday, Syrian state news agency SANA reported.
SANA cited Syrian Health Ministry official Najib al-Naasan as saying at least 18 others were wounded, noting that the figures were preliminary and could rise.
Homs city’s press office said security forces had cordoned off the area following the blast.
Local official Issam Naameh said the blast took place during Friday noon prayers, typically the busiest time for mosques.
An Islamist militant group, Saraya Ansar al-Sunna, later claimed responsibility for the attack via a statement on Telegram, saying its fighters “detonated a number of explosive devices” inside the mosque.
The group, formed after the ouster of Bashar al-Assad, had previously claimed a Damascus church attack in June….

James says
Iirc its an isis aligned group that’s attacked al sharaas forces too bc they somehow aren’t extreme enough

Just another day in the neighborhood.

Whatever. Moslems killing Moslems. Don’t really care beyond the fact that at least it wasn’t Christians this time around.

But it will be. This is all of a piece for Jihadists.

Yes. Sunni Jihadists in Syria are slaughtering Alawites and Druze on this basis–and Christians and Jews because they are Infidels. God, I hate Islam.
