Press release: Bashar Killer Of Children And Women Will Not Be Able To Deceive The Women Of Ash-Sham

On 13/3/2014, media outlets reported the news of the surprise visit of the tyrant Bashar to the displaced people sheltering in the Dwair centre in Adra in the province of Damascus. The images showed the tyrant surrounded by a number of his bodyguards, as he spoke to the women and children in the Dwair centre; embracing a number of the children, and shaking hands with an elderly woman wearing a black Khimar. It also showed a picture of Bashar chatting alone with a man with three children standing beside him, and two women wearing Khimars, one of them was carrying a child.

This visit comes at a time when the number of Syrians who have been forced to flee their homes exceeded nine million people, which is more than 40% of the country’s population; the UN High Commissioner for Refugees estimated that at least half of whom are children. There are currently more than 2.5 million Syrians registered or are waiting to be registered on lists of registered refugees in neighboring countries, this number is expected to exceed that of Afghan refugees soon as the largest group of refugees in the world, on the other hand, more than 6.5 million people fled their homes and now live as refugees inside Syria.

The charity organization, Save the Children, has recently warned in a report published on its official website of the serious deterioration in the level of medical and therapeutic services in Syria as a result of the ongoing fighting in the country. The report included shocking figures of the number of children who have been affected by the fighting in Syria: seven thousand children were killed, one child in every three children was either beaten, kicked, or shot, five million children in need of urgent attention as they are not killed under the shelling only but the situation reached a stage where the children meet their death as a result of illnesses that can be treated or prevented, even accidental injuries suffered by children usually become life-threatening as a result of the collapse of infrastructure and the lack of qualified medical staff and due to power outages. The vaccination program was affected dramatically, which led to the spread of diseases such as meningitis, measles and polio, as well as skin diseases due to overcrowding and poor living conditions and lack of water and proper sanitation.

In light of all this comes the President of this criminal regime brazenly and challenges the feelings and the tragedies of these refugees and brutally adds the salt on their wounds, like the one who kills the victim and walks in his funeral even receives condolence for the victim! He visits them claiming sponsorship for those displaced in some shelters when he is the reason behind their calamity and the basis of their plight and their tragic situation. This is a new manifestation of the contradiction of this regime which refuses but to continue its criminal policy, ignoring all human values, the policy of destruction, displacement and killing through starvation, cold and illness, and then assures them that he will provide the necessary needs for the homeless so that they can return to their homes! He kills and destroys the victims with one hand and embraces them with the other, like the fox who wore the preacher’s clothes to convince others that he follows a Deen!

O our sisters and children who are displaced inside and outside Syria!

We know that it you will not be deceived by a fox like him, and you will not pay attention to his tearing eyes, but you will look at what is perpetrated by his hands. He knows that his end is inevitable, and that the days of his rule are numbered, by the permission of Allah, but he tries to prolong them by any means. So have patience in what you are facing and remain steadfast; the victory comes with patience and it will be soon God willing, as long as you hold on working to establish the Islamic state, the Khilafah State, which will govern by the Shariah of Allah, spread justice and mercy after the oppression of Bashar and his criminal regime. And continue to foil all plans that attempt to abort this demand and divert it.

Do not listen to those who try to impose secular Western solutions upon you covered with deceiving slogans and false promises, and as Allah (swt) says:

﴿يَقُولُونَ بِأَفْوَاهِهِم مَّا لَيْسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ وَاللّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَكْتُمُونَ﴾
“Saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allah is most Knowing of what they conceal” [Ali Imran: 167]
