Yesterday, President Trump repeatedly declared that

“There is something wrong” with the leaders of Iran. He’s absolutely right, fundamentally, because the current crop – like all their predecessors – are sharia-supremacists. 

As such, they will do everything possible to destroy unbelievers, including fellow Muslims they consider to be apostates and certainly us. To that end, they’ll employ every instrument from deception to political subversion to violent jihad.

The same is true of Ahmed al-Sharaa, the erstwhile al Qaeda commander who is now, with the backing of the sharia-supremacist regimes in Turkey and Qatar, the president of Syria. 

Tragically, Mr. Trump is being blindsided by such false friends and even some of his own subordinates to construe Sharaa-tied jihadist attacks on Christians, Druze and other minorities as laudable “stabilization” of that long-suffering country.

Mr. President, there’s something very wrong as well with the Syrian leadership.
