THE SYRIAN CONFLAGRATION
Question
What is happening in Syria? Please comment on the Syrian scenario in the light of the Shariah.
COMMENT:
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), commenting on the upheavals of Fitnah  which will overwhelm  people in the ages in proximity of Qiyaamah, said:  "Al-qaatilo wal maqtool fin naar"  (Both the killer and the killed will be in the Fire.")
This is the present-day Syrian scenario. All groups embroiled in the Syrian Fitnah come within the purview of this Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The conflagration in Syria is not a Jihad. It is not a fight for the Deen or for establishing the Writ of Allah Azza Wa Jal.
Whilst some sincere Muslims have become entwined in the Syrian mess, the fight is KUFR vs KUFR. One kufr force is battling to replace the other kufr force. It is simply Fitnah multiplied and compounded.
Just now, the kufr forces aligned against the kufr ruling regime of Assad, have appointed the atheist kaafir, George Sabra as their leader. This communist kaafir has been appointed the leader of the so-called  Syrian National Council which is a U.S. appointed  institution of kufr and baatil set to be the government  of Syria in the expected post-Assad period.
The U.S. and its other kuffaar and fussaaq cohorts (Saudi Arabia, etc.) are the breeders, supporters and sustainers of the Syrian National Council. At the behest of the U.S.A., the atheist has been installed as the leader of the   anti-Assad fighting  groups. Can any Muslim in his sane brains expect any Islamic consequence in this satanic scenario fully controlled and directed by the U.S.?
In vile situations of this type, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)  had advocated  seclusion. In seclusion Muslims have to repent, reform themselves morally, progress spiritually and adopt Sabr until  the arrival of  the Divine Decree of Allah  Azza Ea Jal.
The handful of Salafi 'mujaahideen' who are participating in the Syrian  anarchy in the name of Jihad, are plain stupid. Since Salafis are spiritually barren, they  do not know whether they are  going forwards or backwards.  They are unable to distinguish right from left, hence they jump into just any puddle and pit of excreta in the name of Jihad. But, after  the displacement of the kufr regime of  the Assad gang of murderers, the U.S. will quickly ensure that the 'Mujaahideen' who are today being tolerated in Syria, are reigned in, disarmed and expelled. It will be a repeat  Bosnian scenario.
When the U.S. had decided to impose peace in the Bosnian-Serb conflagration, the handful of Salafi Mujaahideen  who had offered sincere and wonderful service and sacrifice on the battlefield  to assist their Bosnian brethren, was disarmed and booted out unceremoniously from the country.  The same scenario will prevail in Syria once the Assad gang has been  neutralized or exterminated.
It does not behove Muslims of intelligence to become trapped in the quagmire of  kufr excreta – the excreta which is today the Syrian Conflagration.
