Syria:  The Smaller Things


I have covered the genocidal tendencies of al-Julani - now reinvented as (self-appointed) President al-Sharaa at my other site.  

Identifying as a Christian, Druze or Alawite is terrifying enough for the Syrian population. But being born a woman - is a distinct vulnerability.  I have viewed videos of women being lined up like cattle and their images being taken with cell phones.  There is money to be made with females sold into slavery.

The West whitewashes the atrocities.  Our "Thoughtless Tanks" desire that we not think about these things. There are deals to be hatched. Who gives a rip that a terrorist has now re-invented himself by wearing London suits and footwear -and sporting an expensive timepiece on his arm?  The Devil wears Prada.

Is Syria better off now than when President Bashar al Assad was president? Doubtful.

Why do I care about such things?  I care - because I have counted Muslims as wonderful friends.  And I care - because Islam needs modernization. It cannot happen if we just pat terrorists on the head and tell them to "be a good little boy, now."

The smaller things matter.  Those things which will pass under the radar for most of us.

In April of 2025 this notice barely made a splash: A Supreme Fatawa Council was established.  Oh goody!  Another win for women!



Another small splash which should be a honking headline involves this image taken last month.  Sheikh Issam al Buwaydhani arrived back in Syria 


It was fairly common knowledge that Al Sharaa invited military terrorist flanks to be "integrated" into the regular standing army.   His claim to fame? Jaysh al Islam:

For the record - this is what a chlorine gas attack looks like through the eyes of a child:

This particular man - is bad news for Syria.  But then again, is there really any good news for the Syrian population trapped by a toppling and a process which really did not involve them but which now imprisons them?

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
