Honestly with Bari Weiss
They Tortured Him for Years. Now They Rule Syria.

Sometimes, yes, but also they have like galvanized steel cables, the kind of thing that, like a highway guardrail. They take these things, they cut them into like four foot lengths and then they barb up the end so that when they hit you, like the shaft of the cable will wrap around your body and the barbs will sink into the flesh like that and rip it out.

And go like that a bunch of times, whack, whack, sorry. Children. Children participate for a reason, I believe. The reason is that they say to the kid, like, this is an enemy of God. You're hanging from a fucking pipe by your handcuffs. And they go, this is an enemy. You see what he did? You see what this filth is? Do you want to be like that? No, you don't want to be like that.

Do you want to punish him? Show us that you hate this kind of wickedness, this sinfulness. Show us. The kid's like, I don't really want to do it. And they go, go. Well, if you do that to a kid long enough, over time, that's going to change the psychology of the kid. That's why those kids are dangerous. That's why they have an entire generation of young people that have been learning this.

Yeah, that's right. But they have tons of six-year-olds now, too, to bring along in this fashion. And believe me, you go and ask the people in charge in Damascus, like, what are you doing to the kids? They're going to say, oh, we teach them the math and the science. Yeah.

It's shocking. It's terrifying. But I was assuming the reason why they're letting me see this is because they know I'll never come out alive. I'm being explicit about this because I think it's important that we understand who these people, like this is who they are. They're doing this every day for years and years and years. And what do we see on the news? Like how awful the Assad regime is.

Well, the Assad regime does this too, by the way. But it's not like these guys are any better. I believe that they really want to cause a psychological death to all their prisoners so that when you wake up, you are more in harmony with their way of seeing things. This is their dream for Syria.

It's like they're not saying this, but it really is the case that everybody will orient themselves in terms of like, where is Mecca? This is the thing that you submit to. And who are the secular leaders around? Who are the temporal leaders around here? That's Abu Muhammad Jalani. That's the guy you submit to. You don't ask yourself what's right and wrong. You ask him.
