Crooke's

Crooke's most recent intervention was a commentary in the Asia Times in which he argues that the Syrian uprising is almost entirely the work of extremist followers of the late Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and that a large majority of Syrians back the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad, who they believe shares their desire for radical reforms.

Crooke's attachment to Assad appears to be a function of Syria's self-professed role as a supporter of "resistance" and its strong ties to Iran and Hezbollah.

Crooke's and Conflicts Forum's activities are not only alarming from a Western point of view, but even more so from the perspective of those interested in the spread of democracy and liberal values in the Arab and Islamic worlds, above all Arabs and Muslims themselves.

According to Crooke's Glossary, "Mohurrum" is the "first month of the Mahommedan lunar-year" (574), but the term refers more specifically to the Islamic rites of fasting and mourning celebrated by Shi'ites during the first ten days of the month, in commemoration of the deaths of Hussan and Hussain in 669 and 680 C.E. The rites are distinct from Ramadan, which is celebrated during the ninth month of the Hijra calendar. close window
