The activists of the Syrian Observatory monitored Hurras al-Dien Organization prevent protesters holding the Syrian revolution flag from gathering, and then the situation evolved to align by each side in front of each other, then the demonstration was divided into two demonstrations, one raising the Syrian revolution flag while the other raised the flags of the “jihadists”, and includes supporters of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham and the Hurras al-Dien Organization and other “jihadi” factions, where the last demonstration was moved from the entrance of Jisr al-Shughur city to al-Sawma’a Square in the center of the city, while the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights received on the 22nd of September 2018 a copy of Hurras al-Dien’s statement that says:
“The Jihad battlefield in the Levant is going these days, through a decisive and dangerous stage, where the forces of the international evil and infidelity joined to terminate the Jihadist Project in it, thus, they distributed the roles and shared the areas of influence and control, until the Sunnis in the Levant became like orphans on the tables of the mean, as after they have finished their step of using wiliness in which they have kept the areas of conflict aside, the regime, the Russians and the Shiite Militia separated the areas of the Sunnis one after another, and finally confined them in a narrow area in the north, all of this took place under the umbrella of decreasing the escalation and then they started successive steps starting with what they call fighting the terrorism, separating the moderate opposition from the terrorist opposition, demanding a buffer zone, and the disarmament in planned steps, in order to terminate this holy jihad”.
The statement added:
“In previous statements of us and in our meeting with the factions, we warned of this fate which now have been already reached, and we absolutely rejected that secretly and publicly, and we tried, according to our abilities and as possible, to get out of this situation but we could not do more than we did And Allah alone can be sought for help, and we in Hurras al-Dien, announce again our rejection to these conspiracies and all these steps, and we say, as the alive and dead commanders of Jihad said, that we have not fought and taken up arms to remove a tyrant to be replaced then by another tyrant but we have fought for the sake of Allah, and we warn of this great conspiracy and remind you of what happened in Bosnia in the disarmament agreement as after the Muslims handed over their weapons, the Serbs killed them before the forces of the United Nations and raped the women, and we advise our brothers Al-Mujahideen in this decisive and dangerous stage to return to Allah, hold themselves accountable and sincerely repent, then to rearrange the remaining power and abilities to cooperate depending on devotion and piety and start a military operation against the religion’s enemies which corrupts their plans and makes them cause their destruction, as Al-Mujahideen are advancing in their ways and neither those who opposed nor disappointed them will harm them”.
And it concluded the statement saying:
“We call on the sincere Mujahideen not to waste their jihad, their land or their weapons and to be aware of their enemies’ wiliness as they will only accept those who have been disengaged from their religion and jihad, and we call on sincere brothers in all of the Islamic countries to mobilize to the Levant and support people of the Levant, and we also call on those who have funds to spent their money for the sake of Allah and supporting the Shami Jihad as it is a duty over them to support Allah, his Messenger and those who are oppressed in the land, because the Levant is the stronghold of the believers, and we hope that our distinguished scholars and generous Sheikhs and those who have the foresight, experience and wisdom who were rubbed by experiments and who the Jihad and fighting tyrants and infidels became a part of their body and blood, to guide us and guide their sons and brothers Al-Mujahideen at this difficult stage and we consult them as they are the superiors and Ahl Al-Dhikr in which Allah enjoined us to refer to and ask them, and Allah also enjoined us to report and explain the judgments of his religion”.
Also, The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published 2 weeks ago that it received sound clips, and intersected sources said that they belong to the leader of the security force of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham in Idlib city, in which he stated:
“Coordinate with those responsible for the demonstrations and tell them that we are with you, your brothers, and what you need, we are with you to protect you, the speak is free so why not saying a word of good, and they will say we do not need anything so tell them we will demonstrate with you, and we are Muslims and demand the overthrow of the regime, also there is a very important issue should not appear in the western media, that the people are making us their enemy, and that the people have dropped our banner and they run over it, so be careful, if a banner was risen; there will be someone who will pull it down and run over it, and it will appear on the western media that they have run over the banner of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, this is a big issue, this means that the battle will be against Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham in the future, and the people ready to declare the battle in demonstrations, so if the people pulled our banner in front of the media; this means that the battle has been prepared against us, let them raise the banner of the revolution, and we will show them on the fronts of clashes who fight and stay patience to support the religion of Allah, and sacrifice their blood for the blood of Muslims and keeping their honor, and the majority say that the axis in battle is Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, and if Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham is gone, then the Syrian north is gone, you have there people with their own purposes, and many people say this as well but they forget if they get angry, but we must reduce the sedition and be a bulwark between the general Muslims -and most of them are ignorant- and between the seditions, and the officials in Idlib and its countryside have to alert for not raising flags of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, and to reassure the demonstrators that no flags of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham will be risen, and that any member of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham or their supporters will go out to overthrow the regime, and any person who raises the flag -of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham- will be arrested and investigated about his identity and goals of raising the flag of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, and you must coordinate and cooperate with each other and with supervisors of the demonstrations, because we do not want to have things that may separate us then have these things thrown at Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, because it is intended to provoke sedition because of us.”
