Discussion on Violence and Community Impact

My brother Fawaz, peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.

These are women and children. Look, poor things, what the shelling did to them.

They are from the Druze community, and we have kept them safe, praise be to God Almighty.

Praise be to God.

All right, and now we're taking them to the hospital, Brother Fawaz, to treat them.

Our religion is Islam and morals, praise be to God Almighty.

By God, we only harm those who harm us. Whoever reaches into the fire,

gets burned.

All of this is because of the traitor Hikmat al-Hijri,

the vile one,

who sees the harm done to his people, to his own people and the children of his community.

Does this situation please you, Hikmat al-Hijri?

Does the condition of these people, these women, and these children please you?

Does this situation please you, Hikmat al-Hijri? Keep your evil away from the people

of Suwayda, and keep your evil away from—keep your evil away from the Druze community.

The Druze community is one of the original peoples

of Syria, they are our people, and we have lived together for hundreds of years.

We have lived alongside them. But you were the ones who started

the rape and violations against the Bedouins in

Suwayda. Fear God Almighty. We do not treat you the same way.

Our religion does not allow us to.

Look, look, look at how the children are, Hikmat al-Hijri. Does this please you?

The children?

Do the children please you, Hikmat al-Hijri?
