    This is ridiculous! He tweeted a Kurdish proverb meaning "brave lion may be a man or a woman" ("Şêr şêr e çi jin e çi mêr e!") This sentence was also used in a poem by the Syrian Kurdish poet Cegerxwîn for Leyla Qasim (a KDP member!) executed by the Baath-regime in 1974 (1)

    Today marks 6 yrs since the killing of rebel leader Abulkader Al Saleh. Syrian groups portray him as a hero and a voice of moderation. When the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda was designated as a terrorist organization in 2013, he spoke against it &said” Al Qaeda is our brothers”

    The people of the nation of Syria are diverse and beautiful. Together, we create the fabric of a wonderful tapestry. The groups who chant “Allah Wa Akbar” in front of Christian-majority villages are not helping to weave that tapestry. They are ripping it apart.

    They only appeal to the ultra-conservative, Sunni minority in Syria. Most of my Sunni friends in Damascus and Aleppo share my concerns. These rebel groups make it difficult for moderate Muslims and Christians to continue believing in the aspirations of the early revolution.

    What began as a multi-ethnic, multi-sectarian movement has morphed into an insurgency that reflects the worst fears of those who oppose Islamic extremism. As a staunch opponent of the Assad regime from a Christian family, I always felt estranged from most Syrian rebel groups.

    They beseech Allah for success before attacking peaceful communities. In this way, they are no different from Daesh or other Salafi jihadists. This is the biggest tragedy of the Syrian revolution.

    But when they are chanted by gunmen standing in front of Khabour, a Christian region which ISIS terrorized in 2015, the comparison to ISIS is certainly warranted. SNA rebels insist upon wrapping their actions in the name of Allah.

    and then adds, “with the assistance of Allah we captured a street in Tal Tamr”, before finally leading the chant of, "Allah wa Akbar!" The Takbir chant and Quranic recitations are not “jihadist” per se when Muslims repeat them in a mosque or during prayers.

    I am a Syrian who joined the Syrian revolutionary movement before 2011. We can quibble about whether the Takbir chant heard in this video is jihadist, but as a native Arabic speaker, I can assure you that these men are militant Islamists.

    “Allahu Akbar” is *not* an “ chant.” And Mustafa Bali knows it’s not - but throwing out such Islamophobic accusations feeds a powerful (& innacurate) line of propaganda that…

    1/Lot of controversy over use of the term "jihadists" to describe backed rebels invading N/E . I think at a minimum, we can all agree that these invaders are acting in a militant Islamist (yes, Sunni) manner that makes it easy to confuse them with jihadists.

    What about those who kidnapped Razan Zeitouneh, did you engage with them as well? What about the Islamic front, Nour al-Din al-Zenki ? You work now for a sectarian organization called Emgage. So do not pose as“ unbiased diplomat”

    Replying to @Ahedalhendi @fordrs58 @ForeignPolicy
    As diplomats we engaged religious and secular oppo We supported Suhair Atassi & Razan Zeitouneh. Where they Islamists? Calling those you disagree with jihadists is offensive and plays into the hands of orientalists posing as CT experts.
