Islamist Saudi Arabia to train Syrian Rebels



The Pakistani Army is coming to the Middle East. 

The new "Army of Islam” in Syria 

• Let's try to understand this.  Islamist Saudi Arabia (that chops off people's hands) claims they want to train a "moderate" Army of Islam in Syria by using trainers from the Pakistani Army - a nation that hid Osama bin Laden and supports the Taliban.

Yes it is true - we are indeed totally fucked.

Saudi Arabia, having largely abandoned hope that the United States will spearhead international efforts to topple the Assad regime, is embarking on a major new effort to train Syrian rebel forces. And according to three sources with knowledge of the program, Riyadh has enlisted the help of Pakistani instructors to do it.

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, along with the CIA, also supported the Afghan rebels against the Soviet-backed government during the 1980s. That collaboration contains a cautionary note for the current day: The fractured Afghan rebels were unable to govern after the old regime fell, paving the way for chaos and the rise of the Taliban. Some of the insurgents, meanwhile, transformed into al Qaeda and eventually turned their weapons against their former patrons reports Foreign Policy Magazine.

While the risk of blowback has been discussed in Riyadh, Saudis with knowledge of the training program describe it as an antidote to extremism, not a potential cause of it. They have described the kingdom’s effort as having two goals — toppling the Assad regime, and weakening al Qaeda-linked groups in the country.

Prince Turki, the former Saudi intelligence chief and envoy to Washington, said in a recent interview that the mainstream opposition must be strengthened so that it could protect itself “these extremists who are coming from all over the place” to impose their own ideologies on Syria.

The ramped up Saudi effort has been spurred by the kingdom’s disillusionment with the United States. A Saudi insider with knowledge of the program described how Riyadh had determined to move ahead with its plans after coming to the conclusion that President Barack Obama was simply not prepared to move aggressively to oust Assad. “We didn’t know if the Americans would give [support] or not, but nothing ever came through,” the source said. “Now we know the president just didn’t want it.” [...]

As Sayigh laid out in his Carnegie paper, Saudi Arabia is attempting to build “a new national army” for the rebels — a force with an “avowedly Sunni ideology” that could seize influence from mainstream Syrian opposition groups.

In addition to its training program in Jordan, Saudi Arabia also helped organize the unification of roughly 50 rebel brigades into “the Army of Islam” under the leadership of Zahran Alloush, a Salafist commander whose father is a cleric based in the kingdom.

Saudi nuclear weapons 'on order' from Pakistan

Ain't life just fucking grand!  It is stories like this that make me dig my mountain cave even deeper and lay in more food and ammo supplies.

Saudi Arabia has invested in Pakistani nuclear weapons projects, and believes it could obtain atomic bombs at will, a variety of sources have told BBC Newsnight.

.
While the kingdom's quest has often been set in the context of countering Iran's atomic programme, it is now possible that the Saudis might be able to deploy such devices more quickly than the Islamic republic.

Grand Mufti Calls for Destruction of all Churches

Destroy all Churches

The religion of peace and love strikes again.

Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia Abdulaziz Bin Abdullah has once again called for the destruction of all Churches on the Arabian Peninsula.

Bin Abdullah, head of the Ulema Council and the Standing Committee on Fatwas, made this statement after a presentation by the Kuwaiti parliamentarian Osama Al-Munawer of the bill that bans construction of new non-Muslim religious buildings in Kuwait.



The first Orthodox church in the Arabian Peninsula.

The Mufti stated that, according to Islamic law, all churches in the region must be demolished; i.e., Islam is the only legal religion here. The words of Muhammad that "there cannot be two religions on the Arabian peninsula" the head of the Sunni always interprets in favor of Islam reports Pravoslavie.

Not long ago, owing to the consecration of a Catholic Church in United Arab Emirates, the local Christians expected the opening of negotiations concerning the construction of the first church in Saudi Arabia. At the present time, from 3 to 4 million immigrant Christians work in this Muslim country, according to various sources.

In June, Cardinal Fernando Filoni, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, consecrated the new Church of St. Antonio in United Arab Emirates, near Dubai. The Church of St. Paul in Abu Dhabi is currently in the first stage of development. Early this year, the king of Bahrain donated land for the construction of a new church for a Christian community.

Obama goes to War - 50% of Rebels are Jihadists

Nearly 50% rebel fighters are Jihadists

There are nearly 50,000 hardline Islamists/Jihadists

being funded and armed by Islamist Saudi Arabia,

Islamist Turkey, the Gulf States & the CIA.

Constitution?  What Constitution?  -  Without a vote of Congress, Dear Leader Obama has effectively declared war against Syria.  For months Obama has been arming the Islamist rebels trough our "friends" in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.  Now our Leader has stopped pretending and will ship arms directly to the rebels.

Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to “vetted” opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.

Our Dear Leader, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced that he would “waive the prohibitions in sections 40 and 40A of the AECA related to such a transaction,” reports the Washington Examiner.

All this in the face of a new report showing that nearly half the rebel fighters in Syria are now aligned to jihadist or hardline Islamist groups according to a new analysis of factions in the country's civil war.

Opposition forces battling Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria now number around 100,000 fighters, but after more than two years of fighting they are fragmented into as many as 1,000 bands.

The new study by IHS Jane's, a defense consultancy, estimates there are around 10,000 jihadists - who would include foreign fighters - fighting for powerful factions linked to al-Qaeda.

Another 30,000 to 35,000 are hardline Islamists who share much of the outlook of the jihadists, but are focused purely on the Syrian war rather than a wider international struggle says the UK Telegraph.

There are also at least a further 30,000 moderates belonging to groups that have an Islamic character, meaning only a small minority of the rebels are linked to secular or purely nationalist groups.

Charles Lister, author of the analysis, said: "The insurgency is now dominated by groups which have at least an Islamist viewpoint on the conflict. The idea that it is mostly secular groups leading the opposition is just not borne out."

Islamists gaining strength among rebels in Syria

CNN reports how Islamist groups are gaining strength among rebels in Syria.

A statement posted online by Islamists announced the launch of an ISIL military offensive in the eastern district of Aleppo which it called "Cleansing Evil". "We will target regime collaborators, shabiha [pro-Assad militias], and those who blatantly attacked the Islamic state," it added, naming the Farouq and Nasr factions.

Al-Qaeda has assassinated several FSA rebel commanders in northern Latakia province in recent weeks, and locals say they fear this is part of a jihadist campaign to gain complete control of the territory.

As well as being better armed and tougher fighters, ISIL and Jabhat al-Nusra have taken control of much of the income-generating resources in the north of the country, including oil, gas and grain.

This has given them significant economic clout, allowing them to "win hearts and minds" by providing food for the local population in a way that other rebel groups cannot.

ISIS has also begun a program of "indoctrination" of civilians in rebel-held areas, trying to educate Syria's traditionally moderate Sunni Muslims into a more hard-line interpretation of Islam.

In early September, the group distributed black backpacks with the words "Islamic State of Iraq" stamped on them. They also now control schools in Aleppo where young boys are reportedly taught to sing jihadist anthems.

"It seems it is some sort of a long-term plan to brainwash the children and recruit potential fighters," said Elie Wehbe, a Lebanese journalists who is conducting research into these activities.

Obama ships chemical weapons gear

to Syrian Rebels

Never thought I’d see the day where the U.S. government is trying to

save al-Qaeda jihadists from being attacked with WMD.

President Barack Obama on Monday cleared the way for the US to send chemical weapons-related assistance to the Syrian opposition, as well as international organizations working inside the war-torn Middle Eastern country.

The move comes nearly a month after a deadly chemical weapons attack near Damascus that raised the specter of a US military strike and resulted in a diplomatic deal aimed at stripping Syria of its stockpiles of deadly gases reports the Associated Press.

While the White House says the international response should deter future attacks, the authorization of chemical weapons-related assistance signaled that the US was at least preparing for the possibility that the deadly gases might be used again.

The White House said the non-lethal assistance could fall into three categories:

• Chemical weapons-related “personal protective” equipment to international organizations working in Syria, including the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
• Medical assistance to strengthen local Syrian health care providers’ ability to prepare for and respond to the use of chemical weapons
• Defensive chemical weapons training and protective equipment to vetted members of the Syrian opposition to protect against the use of deadly gases.

The U.S. is arming Islamists in Syria

Most of the weapons being sent from Saudi Arabia and Qatar to Syrian rebels are going to hard-line Islamic jihadists as opposed to secular opposition groups that the West wants to strengthen, American officials and Middle Eastern diplomats told David Sanger of the New York Times.   

In 2011 the U.S. sold $33.4 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia and $1.7 billion to Qatar as sales tripled to a record high and accounted for nearly 78 percent of all global arms sales.
.

So although the U.S. is not sending arms directly to rebels, most of the weapons being sent by Saudi Arabia and Qatar were purchased from the U.S. and are being funneled to the opposition by the CIA.

Liars! - Congress pretends to "debate" Syria

Bullshit Alert!

Obama is only allowing a debate on Syria because

of the new Internet media.

By Gary;

Thank God for the Internet and Bloggers.  We may have stopped a new war.  May have . . .

Comrade Obama said legislative leaders have agreed to hold a debate and a vote on bombing Syria as soon as Congress returns, which currently is scheduled to be Sept. 9.

But even so, the Anointed One proclaimed, "I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets.  I believe I have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization . . . "


An Internet Nut Kicking

The corrupt filth in the D.C. Beltway and Downing Street totally miscalculated the growing power of the new Internet Media and Bloggers.

The traditional print, radio and TV media (liberal and conservative) mostly did their job and played dead for Obama allowing him to move forward to a war in support of the Syrian rebels.  Fox News went over the top showing crying Arab babies and corpses during a speech by John Kerry.  Talk about yellow journalism.

But the new independent Internet Media can spread information around the planet and to billions of people in only seconds.

News of war that used to take days or weeks to spread ignited the public.  Suddenly Obama's lackey, British Prime Minister David Cameron, ran into a firestorm back home and was defeated by his own Parliament.  Kick to the nuts #1.

Kick #2 happened Saturday when Obama claimed he agreed to a Congressional debate on Syria.

A Pretend "Debate" in Congress  -  The lap-dog Elite Media have mostly covered for Obama and the liars and whores in Congress.  The "debate" will be about firing new rockets into Syria.  But the "debate" will ignore the existing U.S. program to arm the rebels

The real truth is the U.S., the UK and their Islamist allies in the Middle East have been at war with secular, pro-Russia Syria for months and months.  Using the CIA the U.S. has been working through Islamist allies like Saudi Arabia to fund and run guns to the rebels.

The so-called "debate" is mostly a sham.  A fig leaf for getting caught.  Both parties in Congress knew about backing the rebels.  After all, anyone with a computer could read the reports from largely overseas media.

The next test of the Internet Media is to fully expose the American support of Islamist rebels.  That is a tough sell to an apathetic public.

Saudi Arabia backs Islamic Terrorism.
Comrade Obama may allow Congress to pretend to debate bombing Syria, but keep in mind it is a pretend debate.
.
Through the CIA the U.S. and other Western nations have long been working through Islamist Turkey, Islamist Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states to fund and ship weapons to Syrian rebels.  We have effectively been making war against Syria for years.

Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police raided a park in the Gulf Kingdom and stopped a wedding they considered as a violation of conservative local traditions.

Hundreds of visitors to the park south of the capital Riyadh surrounded the newly-wed Egyptian couple to take part in the party before members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice entered the park and stopped the event.

“A source in the Commission said the wedding was stopped because it violated local traditions as the bride was not covering her face and the groom was holding her hand and hugging her sometimes,” Ajel newspaper said.
