When Erdogan years ago said he would perform the salaat in the Ummayad Mosque of Damascus, all those secular enemies of him laughed their asses off.
Erdogan is a bigger chessplayer than Kasparov.

No they don't want that. Taliban is an Iranic cultural phenomenon that prefer their women to be covered up in Burqa (Iranic word) with zero rights (unlike in the Arab world and Syria), no education and engage in widespread drug addiction (another Afghan habit), bacha bazi pedophilia etc.
HTS in comparison are highly educated people and Al-Jolani even more so. If ISIS or Taliban had a say, they would have executed all Syrian soldiers, minorities etc. long ago. Outside of 1-2 small incidents there have been nothing and HTS fighters are the same people whose relatives were killed by the same regime they fought against.
This is not a Shia Iraqi militia backed by Iran, that rounds up 1000's of Iraqi Sunni Arabs (as suspects) and later executes them like in Fallujah, Ramadi, Al-Hawija and elsewhere.
Hilarious to compare Syrians with Afghans.
Having said that, if it was up to me, all those foreign Shia terrorist militias that engaged in crimes against the Syrian people, IRGC advisors, SAA officers and soldiers that engaged in war crimes, should have been summarily trialed and afterwards executed for their crimes. But I am sure that the Syrians will deal with them in a way that they deserve. Eventually. Those that have not fled already that is.

In my humble opinion, the rebels are nothing but Israel in disguise. Overall destruction, killing anarchy.

End of Assad rule will reshape region's balance of power

The fall of Bashar al-Assad was almost unthinkable just a week ago, when rebels started their astonishing campaign against the regime from their base in Idlib, in Syria's north-west.
This is a turning point for Syria. Assad came to power in 2000 after the death of his father Hafez, who ruled the country for 29 years - and very much like his son, with an iron fist.
Assad junior inherited a tightly controlled and repressive political structure, where opposition was not tolerated.
At first, there were hopes that he could be different – more open, less brutal. But those were short lived.
Assad will forever be remembered as the man who violently repressed peaceful protests against his regime in 2011, which led to a civil war. More than half a million people were killed, six million others became refugees.
With the help of Russia and Iran, he crushed the rebels, and survived. Russia used its formidable air power while Iran sent military advisors to Syria and Hezbollah, the militia it supports in neighbouring Lebanon, deployed its well-trained fighters.
Crowds gather in Damascus after rebels declare city 'free'
This did not happen this time. His allies, preoccupied with their own affairs, essentially abandoned him. Without their help, his troops were unable - and, in some places, apparently unwilling - to stop the rebels, led by the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
First, they seized Aleppo, the country's second-largest city, last week, almost without resistance. Then Hama, and days later, the key hub of Homs. With insurgents also advancing from the east and the south, the offensive isolated Damascus. In a matter of hours, fighters entered the capital, the seat of Assad's power.

Let us see if that little snake MbZ, is the one hosting Bashar Al-Assad. I am pretty sure that is where the rat escaped. What a shame for the good brotherly and sisterly people of UAE to be represented by an insane snake like MbZ. He has completely destroyed his fathers respectable name.
What a shame for UAE and the good people of UAE.
What a shame for UAE and the good people of UAE.

The end of the Assad family's five-decade rule will reshape the balance of power in the region.
Iran, again, is seeing its influence suffer a significant blow. Syria under Assad was part of the connection between the Iranians and Hezbollah, and it was key for the transfer of weapons and ammunition to the group.
Hezbollah itself has been severely weakened after its year-long war with Israel and its future is uncertain.
Another Iranian-supported faction, the Houthis in Yemen, have been repeatedly targeted in air strikes. All these factions, plus militias in Iraq and Hamas in Gaza, form what Tehran describes as the Axis of Resistance, which has now been seriously damaged.
This new picture will be celebrated in Israel where Iran is viewed as an existential threat.
Many believe this offensive could not have happened without the blessing of Turkey. Turkey, which supports some of the rebels in Syria, has denied backing HTS.
For some time, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had pressed Assad to engage in negotiations to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict that could allow the return of Syrian refugees.
