Turkey, U.S. sign deal to train, equip Islamists against Syria
By Julio
Severo
The
United States and Turkey signed,
according to Reuters, an agreement on Thursday to train and equip Islamists to
overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Reuters
said that the agreement is “to train and equip Syrian moderates to fight the
Islamic State.” Yet, the same Reuters report said, “Turkey hopes the training
will also bolster the weakened and divided Syrian opposition in their war
against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.”
It is
highly doubtful that these “moderate” Islamists will fight the Islamic State
(ISIS). In fact, according to WorldNetDaily,
“moderate” Syrian rebels trained in 2012 by U.S. military instructors later
joined the Islamic State.
WorldNetDaily
was first to report the U.S., Turkey and Jordan were running a training base
for the Syrian rebels in Jordan in 2012 and 2013. Again, the same Jordan will train
similar Islamists.
Why use
an alleged war against ISIS to expand training for Islamists who eventually
join ISIS? Reuters said that Saudi Arabia also offered a site for such
training. Saudi Arabia is notorious for its total ban on Christianity. In
contrast, Syria, whose president the U.S., Turkey and Saudi Arabia want to
overthrow, has been known for its tolerance for a Christian community that has
existed in Syria for 2,000 years.
U.S.-supported
Syrian rebels have been known for atrocities against Christians in Syria.
It
seems that a bigger Republican presence in the U.S. Congress has increased
pressure to support these “moderate” Islamists fighting Assad.
Even
though Obama, the Republicans and the mainstream media insist on calling these
Islamic rebels “moderate,” Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan was forthright:
“The term ‘moderate Islam’ is ugly and offensive — Islam is Islam.”
Actually,
if the Syrian rebels were “moderate,” Saudi Arabia would never support them.
William Murray, president of the Religious Freedom Coalition, said
“the only way to stop the tide of Islamic terror in the Middle East and the
world is to shut down the funding state of that terror, Saudi Arabia.”
Turkey
would never train Syrian rebels to fight ISIS. According to WorldNetDaily, Turkey
backs ISIS to eliminate Assad. And Pat Buchanan, a former Reagan
adviser, told in WorldNetDaily: “Depose
Assad, welcome Muslim Brotherhood.”
Because
of the extreme violence, rapes and slaughters against Syrian Christians by
Syrian rebels, CBNNews said in a headline: “Syrian
Christians: “Why Is America at War with Us””
You
can ask on behalf of these Christians:
Why
Is Obama at War with Syrian Christians?
Why
Are Republicans at War with Syrian Christians?
If
the U.S. were serious about a real war against ISIS, it would not be helping
Turkey and Saudi Arabia to overthrow Assad, the only Islamic dictator in the
Middle East who is fighting ISIS and protecting Christian minorities.
If
the U.S. were serious about a real war against ISIS, it would be helping to
overthrow Islamic dictatorships in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
The
U.S.-Turkey agreement to expand training of Islamists in Syria will only expand
persecution against Christians.
What
can you do? If you are an American Christian, you have a responsibility to
speak up, because your tax money is being used to fund U.S. military trainers
and their Islamist trainees against Syria. Because of these wicked policies,
there is blood in the hands of American taxpayers. The Obama administration,
with Republican assistance, makes your tax-money an accessory to the murder of
Christians.
Contact
right now your representative and senator and say: “I do not want my money
shedding Christian blood in Syria! Please, stop it!”
Because
this is an international crisis involving Syrian Christians and their families,
international Christians can also help by contacting the members of U.S. Congress
to condemn Turkey for its support for ISIS and Syrian rebels and condemn Saudi
Arabia for its blatant anti-Christian ban.
You
can contact the U.S. House of Representatives: http://www.house.gov/
You
can also contact the U.S. Senate: http://www.senate.gov/
The
U.S. Congress should also be encouraged to praise the Syrian government for
being the Muslim government that most protects Christian minorities in the Middle
East.
If
the U.S. wants to defeat ISIS, it should sign an agreement with Syria. If the
U.S. wants nothing to do with Syria, it should do as President James Madison
said, “To cherish peace and friendly intercourse with all nations having
correspondent dispositions; to maintain sincere neutrality toward belligerent
nations and to exclude foreign intrigues and foreign partialities.”
If it
is hard for a Christian America to support Syria for the sake of persecuted
Christians, it should be impossible for her to support Turkey or Saudi Arabia.
Turkey
was responsible for the worst genocide against Christians in the 20th century.
Saudi
Arabia has a total ban on Christianity.
America
should have a total ban on agreements with both radical Islamic nations.

An American friend just sent me a very interesting remark about my article on the U.S.-Turkey agreement against Syria. In his view, the Obama administration wants to inflame Islamists to affect Russia, which has borders with the Islamic nations in the Middle East. The U.S. is safely far away from this region. So if everything explodes there (and this is Washington’s intent), Russia will suffer the actions from radical Islamists. Right now, the U.S. may be heating the Islamic caldron of violence. Worse: Christians in the Middle East are paying and will pay a very high cost with Washington’s policies.

The big enemy of America is Islam, not Russia. Sadly, America intends to provoke Russia incessantly, but she will never provoke Islam.
It is time for good Americans to rule America to fight the real enemy.

This decision makes no sense to me. Its just going to create more blow back against the US.
I recall what Roberts (Paul Craig Roberts, a former Reagan secretary) said in 2013:
“Let’s cut to the chase. It’s got nothing to do with Syria. The reason they are looking for a fabricated excuse to attack Assad is to continue the radicalization of Muslims in the hopes this spreads into the Muslim populations of Russia…”
http://usawatchdog.com/syria-will-lead-to-world-war-iii-and-it-will-be-nuclear-paul-craig-roberts/
In other words, the US thinks that its efforts to use moderate Muslims against Syria will madden the radical Muslims to strike out against the government in Russia. If that’s what is involved, the US has totally lost its way.
Thank you for a great article and blog.
