“Moderate Jihad”: Syrians “Excited” Over Public Executions
After lauding how the overthrow of Assad in Syria would bring about “moderate jihad,” the BBC highlighted how thousands of “excited” Syrians turned out to see a public execution.
Since Syrian rebel leader (formerly known as terrorist) Abu Mohammed al-Jolani led his militants to topple Assad’s government, the legacy media has been busy rebranding al-Jolani and his cohorts as westernized and tolerant, with al-Jolani even adopting the rhetoric of corporate HR departments by declaring, “Diversity is a strength.”
Recently, the BBC said that al-Jolani and his HTS fighters wanted to usher in a form of “moderate jihad,” despite the fact that the rebel leader was previously affiliated with ISIS and Al-Qaeda, was radicalized by 9/11, and previously planted roadside IEDs targeting US troops in Iraq.
Apparently, one manifestation of this “moderate jihad” is the lust for extrajudicial public executions.

The BBC’s Jeremy Bowen reported on how a huge group of Syrians had gathered to see one of Assad’s military intelligence operatives be publicly hanged.
Thousands of Syrians almost caused a stampede as they congregated expecting to see the person executed.
The BBC reported that the crowd were “jostling for the best position, not wanting to miss anything,” and shared a “real strong sense of excitement, expectation” at the prospect of witnessing the hanging.
“They don’t just want justice to be done, they want to see it being done,” said Bowen.
Another example of “moderate jihad” unfolded in Syria when Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) destroyed the tomb of the late president Hafez al-Assad, which also contained the remains of his wife and eldest son, by burning it to the ground.

Meanwhile, since the overthrow of Assad, innumerable horrific videos have emerged of Syrian rebel militants executing alleged Assad sympathizers in cold blood.

If this is “moderate jihad,” one wonders what hardcore jihad would look like.
