#WesternSyria | #Baniyas: Fatwa Council Member Anas Airout to Lecture on Ibn Taymiyyah in Baniyas, Site of 2025 Massacre of Alawites

This comes despite the fact that the UN Special Envoy to Syria announced days ago the holding of workshops with several ministries of the #STG to combat hate speech, in addition to UN organizations holding 55 training sessions to counter hate speech and build peace. Yet, lectures on "Ibn Taymiyyah" the spiritual father of the Salafisim, who issued religious rulings "Fatwa" declaring all those belonging to minorities and different religions as infidels and permitting their killing, continue to be held.

Anas Airout holds the position of member of the Fatwa Council in Syria, in addition to serving as dean of the Faculty of Law and Sharia at Idlib University.

Residents of Baniyas from the Alawite community accuse him of having been behind the al-Qusour neighborhood massacre in Baniyas.
