„Assad regime’s top cleric Ahmad Badr al-Hassoun passed a fatwa, judgment, to exterminate Syrians in the eastern parts of Aleppo where civilians live under opposition’s control. Hassoun said on Assad regime’s news channel al-Akhbaraya, ‚I call upon the Syrian Army to show us its rage and I also call upon our leader to show us their rage in exterminating those criminals.‘ Hassoun has been known for his fatwas of extermination and destruction in Syria for the last four years. It is worth reminding that Assad’s top cleric warned Western countries against military intervention in Syria and threatened to retaliate with suicide bombings in the United States and Europe if his country comes under attack.“ (Der Journalist Mahmoud Eskaf im Middle East Observer: „Assad’s top cleric ‚Hassoun‘ calls to exterminate Aleppo civilians“)
