🇸🇾 🏴 - Sunni jihadism in a nutshell: "If Muhammad were sent again, he would join NATO"
Qatar-backed Muslim Brotherhood cleric Yusuf al Qaradawi was one of the main agitators who incited both jihad in Syria and Palestinian suicide bombings against civilians.
It would surprise many to learn he explicitly spoke in favor of NATO many times. While this specific newspaper was from the time of Arab Spring (May 2012), he also backed the US invasion of Afghanistan, as his preferred mujahideen faction was resisting the Taliban at the time.
Sunnis justify the Armenian genocide, Assyrian genocide, massacres of Alawites/Druze/Christians across the coast and Suweida, bombing of churches in Egypt and Syria, among other atrocities under the pretext that Christians are "fifth columns for the west". However, no greater fifth column exists than them.
Hence, they celebrate the NATO bombing of Serbia which killed and wounded thousands of Serbian Christians while crying and protesting over the NATO bombing in Iraq. They celebrate when Israel bombs Lebanon and Iran but cry when it bombs Gaza.
These people aren't driven by any morals but pure spite and hatred for non-Muslims. It's ironic that westerners who "hate foreign wars" will thus shake hands and seek to strengthen these people who will do anything to drag them to yet another foreign war and score more brownie points.

They do not get final.
The stone is rolled away. The tomb is empty. And somewhere nearby, a group of guards is having the worst workday review in Roman history. Imagine being paid to guard death itself and then having to explain to your supervisor that, yes sir, the grave escaped. One minute you’re standing there with a spear, the next minute an angel shows up like lightning, the ground shakes, and you wake up realizing the thing you were guarding walked out. Career change imminent.
Two angels tell the women, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead". Which feels gentle until you realize it’s also Heaven saying, you’re shopping in the wrong aisle. He told you this. You ...
