Scholars: Syrians Aware of Imperialist Conspiracies Targeting Them

Mosque preachers and imams said that the Syrians are aware of the sedition and conspiracies hatched against them by imperialism, Israel and reactionary Arab states.

In their Friday sermons, the preachers said that the Syrian people are more determined than ever to continue the struggle for achieving victory and eliminating the terrorism that is targeting Syria.

Minister of Awkaf (Religious Endowments) Dr. Mohammad Abdul-Sattar al-Sayyed said that the ”popular resistance against the Zionist occupation is the purpose of Jihad,” denouncing the desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque by ”the enemies of God and the prophets’ killers.”

Imam of the Great Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Ahmad al-Bakkar said ”the enemies are hatching conspiracies and plans to propagate a culture of hopelessness and defeat among us,” urging the Arab peoples to cling to the principles of Islam ”that drives away hopelessness and weakness.”
