Sheikh Zakaria said: “At first there were some people’s peaceful demands that the government attended to those issues, however, we observed that there is a conspiracy to destroy Syria being formed; and the conspiracy was formed because; Syria has always been at the forefront of defending Palestine, and the occupied territories was as important as the Golan Heights.”

Sunni Mufti of Syria, in response to a question about the new scenario of the West regarding the case of chemical weapons in Syria stressed: “this is also part of the media to mislead the public, and for possible military intervention in Syria, since, first they used the
pretext of ‘no freedom’, and then they raised the project of tribes and minorities, which was encountered with the unity of the Syrian people.”

Sheikh Zakaria stressed the significant victories of the Syrian army and pointed to the ‘Fatwa for Jihad’ in Syria and said: “Those who issued Fatwa (a legal pronouncement in Islam) for Jihad in Syria, are the same people who have not dared to issue Fatwa against apartheid Israel yet.”
