    It’s already quite obvious that the whole DEI jihadist narrative is meant strictly for the smooth brained public in the west.

      It’s crossed my mind as well to be perfectly honest. But I haven’t read anything to say definitively. Do you know anything that I’m missing?

        Well people fleeing Syria is a pretty good sign that they fear for their safety. Meanwhile, there are now lots of posts on social media showing all the usual ISIS horrors unfolding in Syria such as beheadings, hangings, and so on. The worst kinds of terrorists have taken over the country, and they do the things they always do.

          That’s fair. I’d imagine it’s from a variety of reasons given the state of Syria right now but I won’t deny there is probably truth to these words.

          I don’t have social media so that might explain why I’m out of the loop. The new government says something and HTS does another. Seems HTS isn’t as completely “reformed” from their Al-Nusra/Al-Qaeda days as they would like you to believe.

            There is no evidence to suggest that HTS is reformed in any way, nor is there any reason to think they would be. Furthermore, it’s important to note that HTS themselves is just a small part of the whole picture.
