| Journey to jihad: Iran’s Sunni Kurds fighting a holy war in Idlib |
| 2020-06-28 |
| Very long. It all started with Abdul Qader Tawhidi, leader of the Salafist Sunni Kurds in Iran around the time of the 1979 Iranian revolution, and can be traced through the formation of Al Qaeda in Iraq and then Ansar al Islam and Al Nusra. [Rudaw] Zakaria sat at an outpost framed by olive trees on one of the bloodiest frontlines in Syria, full combat gear weighing down his slender body. His close friend Faruq had unexpectedly joined him. An Arab fighter was meant to man a stretch of front line with Zakaria that cold morning in January 2019, but he fell ill, and Faruq volunteered to replace him. The two began to sing a nasheed, an Islamic recitation, as they gripped their guns in anticipation of battle.Zakaria and Faruq were foreign jihadists in Sahel, an area cutting across embattled northwest Syria’s Latakia and Tartus governorates. They had travelled thousands of kilometers from the Kurdish region of Iran, where four decades of ethnic and religious discrimination has left the local population bitter about Shiite theocratic rule. Thousands of young, Sunni, Kurdish men from Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate have sought solace in carrying out religious warfare, or jihad, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and beyond. |

| #1 So. In a land where nothing is clear cut, the media's solemn intonations that "the Kurdsâ„¢ are our allies." is just so much more oversimplified shinola. |
