* Ever since the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) conquered the Syrian capital Damascus with Turkey's help in December of 2024, HTS fighters and their affiliated militias -- often offshoots of ISIS and al-Qaeda -- have been massacring religious minorities throughout the country. The internet has been flooded with images... of Alawite men, women and children being barbarically shot at close range.
* Most recently, after slaughtering Alawites, HTS and Syria's new Islamic regime, under the self-proclaimed "presidency" of former jihadist commander Ahmed al-Sharaa, are massacring other religious minorities in the country, including Christians and Druze.
* HTS is still designated as a terrorist organization by the UN, EU, US and UK.
* Qatar and Turkey are apparently the powers behind the new regime in Damascus.
* Sunnis in Inkhil, Daraa, were filmed running buses for those who want to go after the Druze. HTS supporters in Idlib waved ISIS flags and incited against the Druze and Jews.
* Endless footage from Syria signals that HTS and its supporters have a genocidal intent towards all religious minorities in the region.
* "The targeted areas were the places of Alawites and Christians. Many innocent Christian victims were also killed. Residents of some of those places were forced to leave their homes. Then they were shot and killed. Then their houses, property, and cars were stolen." — John X, Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch, March 9, 2025.
* The fate of these communities should not be left to al-Qaeda and ISIS terrorists in Syria. Moreover, Syria should not be left to the savagery of al-Sharaa and his HTS offshoots of ISIS and al-Qaeda, or to Turkey's terrorist mastermind, Erdogan.
* For years, Erdogan has repeatedly vowed to "liberate Jerusalem" as he seems to be attempting to rebuild the Ottoman Empire and install himself as Sultan. Now, with HTS and his other proxy militias in Syria, Erdogan finally has the unimpeded path he has been waiting for to do it.

The fate of Syria's Druze, Alawite and Christian communities should not be left to al-Qaeda and ISIS terrorists. Moreover, Syria should not be left to the savagery of its President Ahmed al-Sharaa and his HTS offshoots of ISIS and al-Qaeda, or to terrorist mastermind Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Ever since the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) conquered the Syrian capital Damascus with Turkey's help in December of 2024, HTS fighters and their affiliated militias -- often offshoots of ISIS and al-Qaeda -- have been massacring religious minorities throughout the country. The internet has been flooded with images -- some discredited as old or manipulated, but many not -- of Alawite men, women and children being barbarically shot at close range.

Most recently, after slaughtering Alawites, HTS and Syria's new Islamic regime, under the self-proclaimed "presidency" of former jihadist commander Ahmed al-Sharaa, are massacring other religious minorities in the country, including Christians and Druze.

HTS is still designated as a terrorist organization by the UN, EU, US and UK.
