Dialectics on Global Jihad_The Syrian Front

This is a brief discourse on ‘global jihad’ focusing on the war in Syria. It presents an argument on the significance of the element of religion in the war and the fact that it can be a beginning for a large-scale religious war.Iran has already moved to assist the regime alongside Lebanon’s Hezbollah but still the resistance is gaining momentum.The Sunni-Shia enmity has reignited fully due to this war.A western occupation of Syria will amplify the anti-Western sentiments amongst Sunni Muslims. Russian involvement will increase support for the Chechen cause. The inability and refusal of Sunni Arab regimes has already erased any lingering trust the Sunnis have towards them.In the end, the frustration, anger, isolation and most importantly the religious obligation to defend Islam and Muslims will lead to a mass revolution through the method of jihad.The Global Jihad Movement will earn the legitimacy and a grand struggle towards the Caliphate shall begin with a momentum gained indirectly from the war in Syria.
