Massacres Followed by More Massacres to Subdue the People of Shaam so that they Accept a Cease-Fire and Negotiations with the Tyrant of Shaam
(Translated)

Within the plans to break the will of the people of Shaam and subdue them into accepting the American political solution, the Russian planes on Sunday morning 20/12/2015 committed two massacres in both the city of Idlib; in which more of its victims were in excess of 50 martyrs in addition to tens of injured, and the village of Kafranaha in the countryside of west Aleppo; in which its victims reached more than 15 martyrs. This was preceded, a week before, by another massacre in the city of Ataarib in the countryside West Aleppo, the victims of which reached more than 25 martyrs. This is in addition to the daily massacres in Ghoutah and other places, all of which is happening in a rare form of criminality, not just the criminality of Bashar alone, but rather it is the criminality of the international community and the western agent conspiring rulers. In spite of the city of Idlib falling under the Fou’ah and Kufriyah truce, the regime and its masters nevertheless, as we are constantly reminded of, do not abide by any pledge or covenant. So anyone who thought that the regime would fall via truces and negotiations must know that he is delusionary and that this bombing represents nothing more than a clear evidence exposing the deceit of the regime; so who will (now) take heed?!

We draw attention to that the western conferences and their resolutions related to Syria Ash-Shaam are always accompanied by an increase in bombings and massacres in order to force the people to accept their solutions. Therefore, the intensification of bombings occurred simultaneously with the Vienna conference lasting until the resolution that was made at the UN. All of this criminality and all of these massacres are for no other reason than to break the will of the people of Shaam and subjugate them to accept a cease-fire which the international states have agreed upon together. This is to save the tyrant from falling and for negotiations to be made with him upon the blood of the martyrs and the honour of our honourable women, so that it can lead to the formation of a transitional government that remains upon its military and security institutions albeit with the changing of faces and some superficialities.

We are in the time when the world is witnessing the formation of a military coalition that they have called Islamic comprising of 34 countries and yet we are not sensing anything from any one of them nor have we heard a sound from them in opposition to the Russian and American terrorism or the terrorism of the tyrant of Shaam or Iran. This is not strange because they have not formed an alliance to come to the aid of Muslims but rather they have done so to fight against Islam and to prevent the return of the rightly guided Khilafah "Caliphate".

O Muslims in Shaam the abode of Islam: You have recorded in this blessed revolution the most extraordinary examples of patience and perseverance and so don’t be disheartened by the extended length of the revolution and the extremity of the siege laid against you. That is only as a test or purification from Allah (swt). The Almighty said:

((وَلِيُمَحِّصَ اللَّـهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَمْحَقَ الْكَافِرِينَ))

“And that Allah may test (or purify) the believers (from sins) and destroy the disbelievers” [Aali ‘Imran: 141].

And do not let the regime fool or deceive you with a truce here or there. Know that the victory is based on patience and perseverance and that the darkest hours of night are those that proceed the dawn of Fajr. Allah (swt) said:

﴿وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ * إِن يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِّثْلُهُ ۚ وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّـهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمْ شُهَدَاءَ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ﴾

“So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers. If a wound should touch you - there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound similar to it. And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people so that Allah may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allah does not like the wrongdoers” [Aali ‘Imraan: 139-140].
