He began to gain fame among jihadists in the year when at the age of 19 he left for Iraq and joined the ranks of al-Qaeda, so that, as he himself told, to confront the invasion of the United States. In the year, he was arrested by American forces in Iraq and spent almost five years in prison.

In fact, immediately after the release of Al-Qaeda, she instructed him to create a department in Syria. To fulfill this task, he was given the most experienced members of the group to help him. One of them was the future leader of the Islamic State in Iraq Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi killed in the year, with whom al-Julani was consulted a lot at that time. This group, which coordinated its actions with al-Baghdadi, very quickly gained influence in the regions of Syria, dissatisfied with the authorities of Bashar al-Assad, especially in Idlib.

In his first television interview, as the head of the al-Qaeda’s subsidiary, Abu Mohammed al-Julani said that in the event of Syria’s transition to control, the country would live in accordance with the interpretation of the laws of Islam, adopted in the ranks of “An-Nusra”. He also said that there will be no places for minorities, such as Christians and Alavites, in the country.

It is precisely those words that representatives of the Syrian minorities now recall, explaining their anxiety due to the potential arrival of Khayyat Tahrir al-Sham to power. However, he himself and his supporters parry that he then said as a person associated with al-Qaeda, and now his philosophy has changed. Indeed, starting from the year, al-Julani began to ideologically move away from Al-Qaeda.

The idea of ​​creating a global caliphate has become not close to him. He was more interested in strengthening the positions of his grouping inside Syria. Thus, a small group under the leadership of al-Julani, which he called Jabhat Fatech Ashham, broke off from the “Al-Nusra Front”, which remained the al-Qaeda branch. But already at the beginning of the year in Idlib, where al-Julani was at that moment, thousands of rebels survived from government troops who occupied Aleppo.

At the same time, they pay attention to the Washington Center for Strategic and International Studies, among the goals of the group, the creation of the state is maintained in accordance with its own interpretation of Islamic laws.

Al-Julani spoke about the same thing in the year when he was still in the ranks of Al-Qaeda. Does this mean that his philosophy has not changed as much as he is trying to imagine it now? According to the testimonies of Syrian activists, journalists and representatives of a number of Syrian communities, “Hayyat Tahrir al-Sham” controls the territories controlled by her with a hard hand and does not tolerate dissent.

The independent Association of Syrian journalists Syria Direct states that the group is behind the disappearance of activists and threats to physical reprisals who dared to accuse her of cruel attitude to communities that did not express full support. Various human rights groups documented the torture of political opponents “Hayyat Tahrir al-Sham” in the Idlib region, which has been controlled for many years, they say at the Washington Institute of Middle East Policy.

The grouping does not oblige women in the territories controlled by the territories controlled to completely cover their faces, and the couraders are allowed not to abandon their habit. Group fighters should not perform actions that can scare children, according to the Code of Hayyat Tahrir al-Sham. On the Internet channels, groups are spinning videos, which show how Christians Idlib and other captured territories live their usual life-without threats and restrictions.

Archbishop of Aleppo Afram Maui recently stated that, in agreement with the jihadists, after the seizure of the city of worship, they will take place in the same mode. Al-Julani also turned to students of the University of Idlib several times, making them know that he sees a support in them to create a future state.Last Tuesday, the leader of Khayyat Tahrir al-Sham even said a phrase, which, according to the experts of the Washington Institute of Middle Eastern Policy, you do not expect to hear from the fighter-jihadist.
