Extremists advertise schools to teach terrorism in northern Syria

As confrontations rage in northern Syrian between the Syrian
Arab Army and the Turkish-backed factions, a group calling itself the
“legitimate jihadists” are advertising their newly-established religious
centers to educate students of both sexes on what they promote as “The Right
Religion”, from their point of view.
Although the course of events indicates that the Syrian scene
is close to eliminating the armed factions following an operation to cleanse
the north from terrorist factions, and achieving concrete victories, the
existence of these schools still bears question marks about their fate and
impacts, and how will Damascus deal with the batches of graduates from these
uncertified centers?
One of these advertisements was presented by Syrian terrorist
Abdulraziq Al-Mahdi who use to work as a legal mufti for many terrorist
factions during the war years, and was devoted during the last two years to the
follow-up of the so-called religious education among the factions.
The institute specified the conditions for enrollment that the
age must not be less than 18 years, and that he should have a high school
diploma or its equivalent. As for enrollment fees, the ad set it at $25 USD.
The other one was terrorist Abdullah Al-Muhaisani who
advertised on his channel that a new institute will be opened in northern
Syria.
Al-Muhaisani’s advertisement was enclosed with a message that
said that god will be with jihadists in their war against the Syrian state.
According to these advertisements, the advertised institutes
and schools introduce an erroneous and extreme approach regarding Islam, which
focuses on jihad and fighting societies that they see as enemies.
Syrian activist Omar Rahmoun has said that the Syrian state
and all of its supporters know that the period after eliminating the militias
will not be easy, but rather less difficult than the current stage of the war.
He pointed out that one of the manifestations of the
difficulty of the war is these schools and their graduates who will be satiated
with extremist ideology by Syrian and non-Syrian terrorists.
He explained that these graduates will basically be sleeper
cells ready to carry out terrorist operations whenever they are required to do
so, stressing the necessity of restricting these schools and introducing their
graduates to rehabilitation courses, or at least placing them under security
observation.
Professor of political science Nourhan al-Sheikh also told The
Reference in an interview that she agrees that Syria is close to completely
eliminating terrorists, however, this does not mean a period of tranquility
will be waiting for it.
She also underestimated the danger of these schools, pointing
out that they will likely be transferred to other epicenters of tension like
Turkey or the United States.
Al-Sheikh further affirmed that this already happened when
Turkey transferred Syrian extremists to Libya in order to fight against the
Libyan national army in Tripoli.
