So Al-Qaeda, and specifically Hamza bin Laden, said, hey, we'll train a certain number of fighters for you. What do you need? And Joulani said, I need 10,000 fighters. So for those couple years, Al-Qaeda then trained an additional 10,000 fighters inside of Afghanistan on top of what Joulani was sending, okay? So then they all go to Syria, and as we saw two years later...

Three years later, November 2024, the Syrian Blitzkrieg happened and Joulani took over. Now, when Joulani took over, oddly, the press and the American diplomats and we saw the EU and the UN all leaned in and they're like, oh, this is bringing democracy to Syria. Oh, he's going to have an inclusive government. Same language we heard in Afghanistan.

Well, the intention is to make Syria just like Afghanistan, to make it an Islamic caliphate. So... Jalani plans to ethnically cleanse the Christians, the Alawites, the Kurds, etc., because that is the plan to bring in the Islamic Caliphate, just like the Taliban has been ethnically cleansing, you know, obviously people from Panjshir, etc.

The Hazaras in Afghanistan, it's the exact same playbook, the exact same model, and a lot of the exact same people. So if we're not honest about the roots of how Jalani took Syria, then we're not going to be able to understand what's going on. But to understand what's going on makes perfect sense.

I don't really know the number of Christians because they've also hit these Alawite neighborhoods. What is that?
