A short time later, near Gallina Springs, Graydon’s scouting party came upon the Mescaleros again. What happened there is not clear, because no Mescalero survived the incident. ~ Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West.
Although the Wikipedia entry for my friend, the late and great Ahmad Badrennin Hassoun, the former Grand Mufti of the former Syrian Arab Republic, tells us all NATO wants us to know about this man of God, there is a far more substantial back story to this septuagenarian, who has recently been martyred as a result of the unrelenting torture Syria’s new Muslim Brotherhood rulers subjected him to since they arrested this 76 year old at Damascus Airport in late March 2025. The first thing we note about the Wikipedia entry is it follows NATO’s line in making him out as a blood-thirsty “Assadist” creep, Sheikh Barrel Bomb as NATO’s throat slitting Muslim Brotherhood puppets called him. The fact of the matter is Mufti Hassoun was on the moderate side of Sunni Islam and, like most educated Syrian Sunnis of his time, he wanted Syria to be multi-confessional and at peace and, like most peaceful Syrian Sunnis, he had relations, a son in his case, butchered by the savages of the Muslim Brotherhood for no other reason than he was the Mufti’s son. Despite that, he still tried to extend an olive branch to the psychopaths who now rule Damascus on behalf of their Israeli and CIA masters.
The next thing that needs to be said is that a significant part of his job as Grand Mufti was to help muffle sectarian trouble makers and all secular Arab societies, such as those of Palestine under Arafat or Egypt under Nasser had similar figures to keep the lid on MI6’s sectarian killers who, in the case of Syria, stoked the sectarian fires by murdering the noted islamic scholar Sheikh Muhammad Said Ramadan al-Bouti and over 40 of his followers on 21 March 2013, so they could replace those learned and gentle men with their own throat slitting knuckle draggers.
It is important to stress that both Mufti Hassoun and Sheikh al Bouti were first and foremost Islamic scholars and were not cut out for the cut and thrust of the merciless war NATO, their Israeli allies and their sundry stooges thrust upon the Syrian people. I stress this point as, when I brought Mufti Hassoun to Ireland, he was subjected to an unmerciful sectarian onslaught by a certain “Sheikh” Umar al-Qadri, the Labour Party’s Ivana Bacik, the human detritus of the Muslim Brotherhood and Irish state media, who showcased all three to attack not only Mufti Hassoun but also the Syriac Orthodox Church, whose Patriarch accompanied Mufti Hassoun to Ireland.
Having bulldozed himself into the middle of Mufti Hassoun’s party, just as he had earlier elbowed his way onto the altar of a Syriac Orthodox Church function in London that Prince (now King) Charles attended, al-Qadri, to use a phrase, turned Turk, when I would not allow this very dubious character bring the Mufti to the Cliffs of Moher, a 450 km round trip which would only make sense if he had Muslim Brotherhood or MI6 heavies on hand to throw the Mufti off them. To add insult, as it were to injury, al-Qadri then claimed that he and not the late Mufti Hassoun was the real islamic scholar, whereas the easily verifiable truth was that Mufti Hassoun had spent his life studying Islam with the world’s pre-eminent Islamic scholars and al-Qadri had spent his as a lowly Shell Global clerk before getting the green light by his handlers to extend his Pakistani family’s imam franchise to Dublin.
Bacik, whose grandfather ran four mega factories in Czechoslovakia for the Waffen-SS not only leveled the most incendiary of unsubstantiated charges against Mufti Hassoun and the Melkite and Syriac Orthodox Churches in the Irish Parliament but followed them up in a variety of sectarian rags that acted as cheerleader for the head hackers.
Still, now that the Syrian Arab Republic has fallen and Alawite and other Syrian children are being sex trafficked wholesale, we are supposed to forget all that and give thanks with al-Qadri and other CIA/MI6 plants that Syria has been delivered from the Assads and their moderate Sunni allies into the clutches of Jolani and his throat cutting, child raping thugs, which is kind of ironic as, on one of my visits to Mufti Hassoun’s house, his little grandchildren sang if you know that you are happy, clap your hands to show their mastery of the language of Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Donne, who famously wrote that, because no man is an island, Jolani’s slaughter of moderate Muslims in Syria or Zelensky’s jihad against Orthodox Christians in Ukraine affects us all.
Though I wager Mufti Hassoun’s grandkids are far from happy with their elderly grandfather being martyred and they and their entire family being at the non existent mercies of MI6’s Muslim Brotherhood cut throats, I’d also bet that Bacik, al Qadri and the rest of the rabble are happy slappers, delighted that they have visited hell on earth to what once was an oasis of secular sanity in the volatile tempests of the Middle East.
Still, despite it all, there is hope not only in the face of death but against the countless betrayals the Arab peoples have suffered down the ages. I think of Archbishop Hilarion Capucci, my late and very great friend, who was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment by an Israeli court for having a limo full of arms and explosives and who was subsequently arrested on the high seas, at the sprightly age of 87, in 2009, and again in 2010, by the same Israelis for having the cajones to try to break the Gaza blockade.
Although Mufti Hassoun and Archbishop Capucci, together with their friends and families, help to prove the old maxim that patriotic Arabs have the global patent on courage, because raw courage is not enough, the Syrians, Palestinians, Lebanese and all those Orthodox Christians under the jackboots of Zelensky and Jolani deserve all the practical help and more they can get not only from me but from anyone and everyone else with even an ounce of moral fibre in their marrow.
