Salim Idris Presents the New Old by the Formation of an Army that Serves Western Interests

In a new attempt to gather militant factions in the land of Ash-Sham, led by the insight of American command under its watch, Major General Salim Idris, who serves as the Defense Minister in the Interim Government, announced in a statement dated 01/02/2015, the formation of a one national army that includes all military forces operating in Syria. This army, as Idris says, will operate according to international regulations and laws, and will include “moderate” forces in a clear reference to the goal intended for the formation of the army, which is fighting the sincere ones who refuse to work within the American policy and reject its projects. Idris did not forget to present material enticements that will attract the greedy people with money, so he indicated that this army will provide salaries for each fighter, as well as daily food and drink, family compensation and protection by the international law for the army staff.

Salim Idris was appointed chief-of-staff in December 2012; the body, which was made with its alternate, the Coalition, as an attempt to gather factions under its banner to be a pawn in American politics, and by the failure of the Coalition and its alternate, the General Staff, Idris became fluctuant by others. However, his presence in this post was not based on his military experience, but due to his relations with the West, as the Washington Post reported by one of the researchers at the Institute for the Study of War that “the election of Idris to the position of Chief of staff was due in part for his ability to serve as a diplomat, as well as for his personal relationships to foreign officials. He was not chosen because of his command of significant ground forces or his operational effectiveness”. He has had several remarks that show his acceptance of the American political solution, and also accepting dialogue with the Russians, and his willingness to negotiate a political transition with the military leaders of the regime’s Army. He has been appointed an adviser to al-Jarba, the former head of the Coalition, in March 2014 to be a partner in al-Jarba criminality, who marched by the orders of his American masters in his war on Ash-Sham’s revolution. After he was appointed to his new post as Minister of Defense in the interim government, he came out to revive what had been presented in the past; trying to differentiate between the factions on one hand, and on the other hand connect some to the Western countries. By this, Idris has separated himself from the people of Ash-Sham’s revolution, and stood in one row with the enemies where conspiracies are hatched and deals are contracted for the cheap sale of the blood of the martyrs.

O Muslims in Ash-Sham: Allah سبحانه وتعالى honored you with a revolution that exposed the ills, that revealed to you all those who intend for you ill, and all those who accept to flail into the arms of the West. So you have nothing but to discard them from your revolution the way you discard seeds, and complete this revolution with what you have begun with, where you said that your leader forever is our Master Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. So do not let the likes of those to harvest the fruits of your sacrifices through Western projects alien to your revolution, and know that your salvation is in your unity on the project that satisfies your Lord, not what satisfies your enemies. So be supporters of Allah by supporting Allah’s Deen and working with the sincere to establish the Khilafah Rashidah on the method of the Prophethood as your Lord Almighty commanded you when He Almighty said,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا أَنْصَارَ اللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنْصَارِي إِلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنْصَارُ اللَّهِ فَآمَنَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَفَرَتْ طَائِفَةٌ فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ

“O you who have believed, be supporters of Allah, as when Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, “Who are my supporters for Allah?” The disciples said, “We are supporters of Allah.” And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.”
