The week of March 6–12, 2025, witnessed a coordinated and catastrophic assault on #Alawite communities across Syria's Mediterranean coast. Attackers descended on at least 56 villages throughout the #Latakia and #Tartous countryside. These massacres were supported and directed by the jihadist de facto authority led by Ahmad al-Shar’a (Abu Muhammad al-Julani). The assault involved Islamist factions, including al-Hamzat, al-Amshat, pro-Turkish #Syrian National Army factions, and foreign fighters operating under the broader Military Operations Command (MOC) linked to #HTS. The attacks were marked by the mass execution of men, the kidnapping of women, widespread looting, the burning of homes and agricultural land, and the destruction of Alawite religious sites. In the village of Brabshbu, all males were reportedly executed. Similar massacres were documented in Snobar, Jableh, and numerous other communities across the coast. The Syrian Network for Human Rights documented at least 1,662 deaths during this period, including 1,217 people killed by forces linked to the new authorities and 445 by Assad-regime remnants. Other estimates place the Alawite civilian death toll substantially higher. Thousands fled their homes, and many sought refuge in neighboring Lebanon. The Alawite Islamic Council publicly attributed responsibility for the violence to the authorities, while Christian Solidarity International issued a Genocide Warning on March 12, 2025. What occurred in March 2025 was not the chaos of political transition. It was organized, ideologically driven mass violence against civilians targeted because of their religious identity. The perpetrators arrived in organized convoys, announced their intentions "jihad", and carried out killings village by village. The massacres of March 2025 did not end in March. The killings, enforced disappearances, kidnappings, forced displacement, property seizures, sectarian incitement, and attacks on civilians continue. What began on the Syrian coast has become a slow-moving genocide against the Alawite community. The absence of accountability, an independent international investigation, and meaningful international action has allowed these crimes to continue while thousands remain missing and countless families remain displaced. #MARCH7TH #March7 #AlawiteGenocide #HumanRights #ReligiousFreedom #EthnicCleansing #ReligiousPersecution #IslamistTerrorism #JihadistViolence @IFCoalition @DrCharlesJacobs

بيان من السيد توم فاغنر بخصوص ما يتم تداوله عن الشيخ سليم نازلي؛ كل الشكر والمحبة والاحترام للسيد توم @tomweg
Official statement — The Abrahamic Movement The Abrahamic Movement stands for the absolute opposite of any idea of armed struggle. Rumors have reached us about actors in Syria who, according to the claims, are promoting the recruitment of armed people for various actions in the name of the Abrahamic Movement. We therefore need to state this clearly and firmly: the Abrahamic Movement has no connection whatsoever to actions or ideas that promote violence or the use of weapons — in any form. Our purpose is exactly the opposite: to change minds and hearts so that we can live with one another without needing to resort to weapons. We will look into these rumors in a respectful manner. In any case, we make this clear: our path is the opposite of the path of violence. We expect every member of the Movement to always advance the path of peace and dialogue — and to act accordingly.

Sudan & Nigeria: the deadliest, least-covered fronts of jihadist and Islamist violence in the world today. Since 2023, roughly 150,000 Sudanese have been killed and 14 million displaced, including the deliberate slaughter of tens of thousands of Masalit civilians. The UN has repeatedly called it the world's largest and most severe humanitarian crisis, yet it gets only a fraction of the international attention given to comparable crises elsewhere. Even Arab media barely cover it. In Nigeria’s Plateau State, at least 27 Christians were recently killed in attacks on two villages, part of an ongoing wave of violence targeting Christian communities. Today we make that violence visible: who is being targeted, by whom, and why a crisis of this scale has stayed so far outside the mainstream conversation.

DAY 25 — INFIDEL AWARENESS MONTH THE DEADLIEST FRONTS YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF Nigeria is amongst the deadliest fronts in the world today, marked by mass killing, displacement, jihadist violence, and the near-total neglect of the international conversation. Entire communities are being devastated while much of the world looks away. Today, we focus on two crises that should be impossible to ignore. Follow @InfidelAware. Full feature in the comments.

A German-Syrian influencer who supports Syria’s current jihadist-led de facto regime is standing trial before the Ahaus Local Court over social media content that allegedly glorifies violence in Syria. Prosecutors allege that, in three separate posts, he endorsed violence against members of minority communities in Syria or called for further violence: ▪️ In a video from early 2024 showing terrorists in Syria killing two restrained men, he is alleged to have added commentary describing the killings as good, right, and important, while calling for further killings of members of minority communities. ▪️ In a Facebook video posted on December 31, 2024, he allegedly endorsed the killing of members of minority communities and called for the violence to continue. ▪️ In a post dated July 21, 2025, amid intense fighting in Syria, he allegedly expressed a wish for an entire city, along with everyone in it, to be burned. The court determined that further investigation was needed and adjourned the September 29 hearing, referring the case back to police for additional investigation. Investigators must now establish, through technical evidence, who actually published the material, as email and IP address data have not yet been fully examined. They must also determine whether the videos were edited or manipulated. A new hearing date will be set once the additional investigation is complete. #Syria #Germany #HumanRights #MinorityRights #HateSpeech #Incitement #Alawites #SaveTheAlawites #StopAntiAlawism #IslamistExtremism #CounterExtremism #InfidelAwarenessMonth
إنفلونسر ألماني-سوري أموي من جماعة "دمشق لنا/لنتنياهو إلى يوم القيامة" يُحاكم أمام محكمة آمهاوس المحلية بسبب محتوى على وسائل التواصل يُمجّد العنف في سوريا. النيابة تتهمه بأنه في ثلاثة منشورات أيّد العنف ضد أفراد من أقليات في سوريا أو دعا إلى مزيد منه: ▪️فيديو من بداية 2024 يُظهر إرهابيين في سوريا يقتلان رجلين مقيّدين، يُقال إنه أضاف خطاباً وصف فيه فعل الجنود بأنه جيد وصحيح ومهم، وطالب بمزيد من عمليات القتل ضد أفراد من الأقليات. ▪️فيديو على فيسبوك بتاريخ 31 ديسمبر 2024 أيّد فيه قتل أفراد من الأقليات وطالب المسؤولين بمواصلة ذلك. ▪️منشور بتاريخ 21 يوليو 2025، أثناء قتال عنيف في سوريا، تمنّى فيه إحراق مدينة بكل من فيها. المحكمة رأت حاجة إلى مزيد من التحقيق، وأُرجئت الجلسة (التي كانت في 29 سبتمبر) لتعود القضية إلى الشرطة. المطلوب التحقق تقنياً ممن نشر المواد فعلاً (عناوين البريد وعناوين IP لم تُفحص بالكامل)، وما إذا كانت المقاطع مُعدّلة، وبعدها يُحدد موعد جديد أمام محكمة آمهاوس. #دولة_الدم #داعش_تحكم_سوربا

The next generation of jihadists. #NewSyria
⚠️ WARNING: Don’t mistake Syria’s public façade for the reality unfolding behind it. Behind the concerts, cafés and festivals, children are being organized as the “Cubs of the Caliphate,” echoing ISIS-inspired methods of ideological indoctrination. We have repeatedly warned about efforts to raise a new generation steeped in jihadist ideology through indoctrination in mosques and changes to school curricula. What is being planted in children’s minds today could become a serious threat to the entire region tomorrow. #NewSyria #Syria #CubsOfTheUmmah #Radicalization #CounterExtremism #RegionalSecurity #ISIS

FROM SHAWARMA TO SYRIA’S ECONOMY. Australia has renewed its terror-finance sanctions listing of Australian-Lebanese jihadi Ibrahim Sukariya, aka Abu Maryam al-Australi. The former shawarma maker is now reported to head Syria’s sovereign wealth fund — with enormous influence over the country’s economy. That is one hell of a career path.

October 4, 2026 | The slow-moving genocide of the Alawites continues. Three young Alawite men ….. Ali Asbar, Yazan Asbar, and Ali Youssef …. were shot and killed at the Beit Al-Awwad junction on the Mashta Al-Helu–Safita road. According to a local source and eyewitnesses, a General Security vehicle opened fire on the motorcycle carrying the three young men, then immediately left the scene. #SaveTheAlawites #StopAntiAlawism #AlawiteLivesMatter #Alawites #AlawiteGenocide #SilentGenocide #WesternSyria #Safita #HumanRights #Syria @hrw @UNHumanRights @UNWatch @UNCoISyria
