Discussion on Syrian Leadership and Unity

And the red line is for the blessed Syrian revolution to be severely harmed.

And I say, there is no dispute over power, my brothers.

There is no dispute over power.

You can, from this council of yours now, from this council— and I

say it and mean what I say— agree on a person whom you all listen to,

most of you, I don't say all, agree on him by 60% or 70%, agree on him,

and I will be the first to support him, God willing.

Whoever does not want my current leadership, let them stand up, it's fine.

If that represents the majority opinion, then I am with them, God willing.

I do not want to stand in an illegitimate position,

and have us viewed as if we, you know,

dominated the arena and took it by force.

I want it by mutual consent, through agreement.

- We, the sons of the tribes, are with you, with God's help.

We approve of you as leader of the entire liberated area,

God willing, in my name and on behalf of all the tribes.

And here are all the tribal sheikhs present, and this is our opinion,

and may God bless you.

- And all the sons of the tribes renew their allegiance to you, leader.

We are soldiers with you, all the tribes are with you.

- Fellow Sharia judges...

- Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!

- Sheikh Abu Muhammad.- Yes, go ahead.

- Peace be upon you and the mercy of God.- Peace and the mercy of God be upon you.

- We are with you on the path of truth.- Thank you, God bless you.

- The Prophet, peace be upon him,

said:" Listen and obey, even if an Ethiopian slave is appointed over you,

as long as he establishes the Book of God among you."

As long as you establish the Book of God, we will remain,

but if we stray from the Book of God Almighty...

- May God reward you with goodness, God bless you, may God preserve you.
