Indian Muslims condemn Syria's sectarian civilian killings

Indian Muslims for Secular Democracy (IMSD) has condemned recent mass killings of civilians in Syria by extremist Islamist forces targeting Alawites, Christians, and Shias. The group calls for an independent inquiry and urges communities to denounce these sectarian killings. The violence has escalated amid clashes between supporters of the former Assad regime and current Islamist forces. Reports indicate over 1,000 deaths, with many civilians among the victims. The situation has prompted international condemnation and calls for accountability. Syria's interim president announced the formation of a committee to investigate the violence. IMSD emphasizes the need for dialogue and reconciliation within Syria to prevent further sectarian extremism.
