The number of residents at the infamous Al-Hol camp in Syria has gone from “about 24,000 earlier this year to the low thousands at most.” The Islamic State (ISIS) camp was long known to be home to an army of ISIS jihadists in the waiting. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) managed the camp for years, […]
Syrian army takes Al-Hol camp, which houses Islamic State jihadis, from Kurdish forces
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) reliably oversaw the al-Hol camp for years. The Syrian military under jihadist president Ahmed al-Sharaa cannot be trusted. The SDF also has for years urged the U.S.-led coalition to take responsibility for the facility’s security, which would have been to the region’s (and world’s) benefit. Incidents at Al Hol […]
Syria calls for ‘independent committee’ to look into its own civilian killings, Arab League provides cover
As Fox News pointed out, “Tulsi Gabbard’s warning to Senate on Syria proves prophetic as Al Qaeda-linked regime slaughters minorities.” Now the big lie about the new “moderate” leadership of Syria has been exposed in the full view of the entire world. The Arab League is now resorting to using vague and deceptive language to […]
Erdogan demands that Israel withdraw from Syria and ‘everyone take their hands off Syria’
Turkey is a dangerous Islamic supremacist state under its President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has expansionary goals of a revived Ottoman Empire with himself as caliph. And he’s getting closer.

Syria: Turkish drone strikes kill three members of local Syriac Christian police and wound others
As the world focuses on Israel’s war against Hamas, Turkey is exploiting the opportunity to expand its military assaults on the Kurds, now including in them Syrian Christians accused of aiding the Kurds. Turkey has reportedly “carried out 76 drone strikes in the northeast” this year, but Turkey continues to present these attacks as fighting […]
Iran-linked ‘suicide plane’ kills at least 6 Kurdish fighters on Syrian base housing US troops
Iran-backed militias have been consistently escalating their attacks in the region against the United States and Israel. The ongoing (and escalating) Houthi attacks on the Red Sea not only present a physical danger to those aboard the merchant ships and to the Red Sea Coalition, but an economic challenge one as well. And now, Kurdish […]
Turkey escalates war on Kurds, ready to launch aggressive ground assault amid warnings by Russia and West
Syrian Kurdish fighters have been fighting against the Islamic State for years, and have managed to create “a semi-autonomous region in Northern Syria.” After Kurdish fighters “consolidated control over territory captured from the Islamic State in northern Syria, Turkey and Turkish-backed Syrian militias, including the Free Syrian Army (FSA), moved to recapture cities and expel […]
Syria: aid workers at risk in Al-Hol camp, following murder of medic
As a rule, every non-Muslim group and individual faces a threat in the presence of jihadists, and the greater the number of them, the greater the likelihood of violence. “The camp is controlled by the semi-autonomous Kurdish administration”, and last year, the Syrian Observatory “recorded 91 murders by IS in Al-Hol, with most of the […]
Turkey: Man stabbed to death for playing Kurdish music during the Islamic call to prayer
20-year-old Baris Cakan was attacked by three men and stabbed in the heart. Why? One account says it was because he was listening Kurdish music on his balcony. Music in general is haram in Islam (Hadith Qudsi 19:5), and from the Turkish standpoint, Kurdish music is even worse. But according to another account of the […]
Kurds in Iraq besieged by Arabs yet again
The greatest divide within the world-wide Ummah, the community of Muslim believers, is that between the Arabs, who are 20% of the world’s Muslims, and non-Arab Muslims, who constitute 80% of Muslims world-wide. Arabs have long believed, and acted, as if they are superior to non-Arab Muslims. And many non-Arab Muslims appear to share that […]
