From Breitbart. Syrian rebels who overthrew the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad on Sunday are reportedly executing their opponents, imposing Islamic sharia law, and threatening non-Muslim minorities, including the Kurdish population in the north. …

The New York Times reported Tuesday:

Islamic State forces on Tuesday killed 54 people in the Homs region in central Syria who had been part of the Syrian government’s military and fled during the collapse of the Assad regime, according to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, a British-based monitoring group. The killings highlight the chaos in Syria as various rebel factions operate in different regions.

One video also shows thousands of smashed bottles of liquor at the duty free store of the Damascus airport, where Islamist rebels apparently enforced the Islamic ban on alcohol by force, as Islamists did in Lebanon in the 1980s.

In addition, Islamist rebels, backed by Turkey, have been threatening Kurdish communities, backed by the U.S. …

From Breitbart. The jihadist terrorist organization Hamas celebrated the victory of fellow jihadis Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in Syria in a message on Monday, applauding their “aspirations for freedom and justice” prevailing over the now-defunct regime of Bashar Assad.

HTS, an al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist organization, had been waging war against the Iran-allied Assad regime for a decade in various forms – most famously as the former Nusra Front – when they mounted a campaign in early November that began yielding massive victories. Before November had ended, HTS took control of Aleppo, the second-largest city in Syria, and in less than two weeks the jihadists were able to march into Damascus. Assad, whose family ruled Syria for decades, fled Damascus on Saturday and is reportedly in Moscow, hosted by his longtime allies in the Vladimir Putin regime.

HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani claimed in a recent interview with CNN that his goal in to rebuild Syria into an Islamist state, but added that he would not exterminate the indigenous minorities of the country. He added that those who feared living under sharia, or the Islamic law, were simply ignorant about what it entailed. …

The leaders of Hamas, a Sunni genocidal terrorist organization in control of the Gaza Strip, appeared to see HTS as allies and congratulated the terrorists on their overthrow of the Assad regime. …

“We stand strongly with the great people of Syria… and respect the will, the independence, and the political choices of the people of Syria,” Hamas said in a statement on Monday, according to Reuters. Hamas celebrated the “aspirations for freedom and justice” of the Syrian people and urged the country to maintain “its historical and pivotal role in supporting the Palestinian people.” …

Hamas is far from the only Sunni terrorist group celebrating the arrival of Islamist rule to Syria. In Afghanistan, the Taliban – which mounted its own mostly bloodless capture of Kabul in 2021 – applauded HTS for their “advancements resulting in the removal of factor of conflict and instability,” referring to Assad. In a statement on Sunday, the Taliban urged HTS to adopt a “general amnesty” for Assad supporters and build a functional government. …
