Eight Killed, Many Wounded, After Sunni Jihadists Bomb Alawite Mosque In Central Syria
There’s been yet another tragic attack targeting Syria’s religious minorities by fanatical jihadists which are allied with the Syrian government of President Ahmed Sharaa.
“A bombing at a mosque located in the Syrian city of Homs during Friday prayers killed at least eight people and wounded 18 others,” authorities said, the Associated Press reports. It was an Alawite religious site that was targeted. Notably this is the same non-Sunni sect that former President Bashar al-Assad belongs to.
“Images released by Syria’s state-run Arab News Agency showed blood on the mosque’s carpets, holes in the walls, shattered windows and fire damage,” the report continues. “The Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib Mosque is located in an area of the Wadi al-Dhahab neighborhood dominated by the Alawite minority in Homs, Syria’s third-largest city.”
State-run SANA said that explosive devices were planted inside the mosque, and it doesn’t appear to have been the result of a suicide bomber, also as there’s a search on for the attack perpetrators.
But the government, which is dominated by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), probably won’t be ‘looking’ for the attackers with too much intensity. There are currently unverified reports that the terror organization responsible was only until very recently a sub-group of the ruling HTS.
It has been a year since the overthrow of secular Ba’ath ruler Assad and a very disturbing and sadly predictable trend has emerged…
In Julani’s Syria, you can get blown up for going to church.

But the mainstream media in the West has remained mostly silent, and has not spotlighted the new regime’s abuses. Instead the MSM has often romanticized the rise of Jolani: aka Sharaa… on the mere basis that the Assad government is gone.
As we previously described, the Alawites have been targeted repeatedly by other factions, and the government itself, with a high-profile massacre of Alawite civilians in the northwest of the country in March leading to low level violence against the religious minority ever since.
Alawites are around 10% of Syria’s population, and they have long been targets of opponents of the old government, even though they note that under Assad they weren’t necessarily broadly treated better than anyone else.
Syrian Christians have also continued to be persecuted under the new US-backed regime:
Unlike in Rojava, where Kurds and Arabs can celebrate Christmas openly and without fear, Christians under the Jolani regime face intimidation. In Damascus, a Christmas tree was forced to the ground while those responsible filmed the act and chanted.

While the Islamist government has presented an idea of religious unity for Syria, they have also eagerly branded any clashes involving Alawites as “Assad remnant” forces, and reacted harshly, while plainly targeting the Alawites on a day-to-day basis.
