This is the first part of a book that was written by abu Mus`ab al-Suri entitled “The Sunnies in Syria Versus the Nusayries, the Crusaders and the Jews.” The text is a call to jihad against the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Asad. It outlines various offenses committed by the Alawites (also referred to as Nusayris) against Sunni Muslims | presents theological justification in support of jihad | and outlines a broad strategy for beginning jihad in Syria. In addition to Syrian Alawites, al-Suri advocates killing Sunnis employed by the government, Jews, and
Christians, specifically mentioning Americans, British, French, and Russians.
