ISIS Militants Executed Dozens of People Yesterday in Syria

 

 

The American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) is alarmed at reports that ISIS militants executed dozens of people yesterday in Syria. M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D., the son of Syrian immigrants and the founder and president of AIFD, said:

 

“Reports out of Syria indicate that we have no idea who the victims were; some report that ISIS militants killed rebels, others that they executed regime military members. This attack, like so much else in Syria today, is symptomatic of the world’s failure – and especially the U.S. government’s failure – to institute a strong policy on Syria and bring an end to this crisis. Until such a plan is formed and carried out, we can expect to see many more incidents like this, where dozens if not more are killed, and accusations fly with little solid information. What we do know for sure is that the regime of Bashar al-Assad and ISIS are two sides of the same coin: both kill innocent Syrians, including women and children, with brutality and impunity, and both have a sociopathic enthusiasm for death and terror.”

New Administration,
Still no Red Line

Phoenix, AZ: Upon learning of yet another series of tragic murders carried out by the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, including a chemical weapons attack that has killed at least 58 people and the bombing of a mosque, the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) expresses its devastation and disappointment in the continued lack of leadership from the American government on this issue.

AIFD’s founder and president, Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, the son of Syrian immigrants who fled the Ba’athist regime there, said:

“I am gravely disappointed at the Trump administration’s failure to formulate a strong response in Syria. Secretary Tillerson’s comments last week that ‘Assad’s fate is up to the Syrian people’ added insult to the already painful reality of genocide in my parent’s motherland. The truth is that the Assad regime is rather now a proxy tyranny of Iran and Russia. The Syrian people have tried – at great cost – to tell us what they wish Bashar al-Assad’s fate to be. If the Trump administration is choosing to continue to allow this genocide to continue, they are simply extending Obama’s horrifically weak foreign policy in the region and, specifically, his shameful inaction on Syria. Standing by and allowing a dictator to murder, gas and maim hundreds of thousands of people is not ‘making America great’ it is withdrawing American hard power and soft power strength in the face of crimes against humanity. I strongly urge the administration to engage with those who know this issue best and to come up with a strategic, strong, moral and ethical American response which will both help to end the suffering of the Syrian people and re-assert American strength and leadership on the global stage – against Islamists, dictators and tyrants all at once. Simply “killing ISIS” alone does not a Syrian strategy make”.
