Syrian foreign ministry: Attack employed "Salafi method"

The Syrian government has been blaming Thursday's bomb attack in Damascus - which killed 25 and injured nearly 50 - on "terrorists."

When pressed for a more specific answer, Jihad Makdissi, the spokesman for the Syrian foreign ministry, said that while there were no details yet on who was responsible for the explosion, authorities felt "the type of attack was from the Salafi method."

"You know suicide bombing is not done by people who rob banks," said Makdissi. "This is very clear that that the trace is for the Salafi mentality."

He offered no further clarification on the subject but said the Syrian interior ministry will release more information later.

Since when do salafis blow stuff up? Our scholars have been denouncing suicide bombings for years now unlike non salafis. Ibn Baaz, Albani and all the rest called these people khawarij

@SalafeeSpot Exactly!!! Jazak Allahu khayr, Akhi al kareem. If you really want to know what Salafi TRULY believe, then read what OUR Scholars, like the Shaykhs Ibn Baz, al-Albani, al-'Uthaymeen, al Fawzan, have stated concerning Terrorism, suicide bombings, etc. Salafis will NEVER condone terrorism!

@AbuAbdullahUK "No, the Salafis condemn BOTH the state sponsored terrorism by the Kuffar"

Show me one PDF from spubs condemning 'state sponsored terrorism by the Kuffar' or one video from your channel.

Show me one video of one of your sheikhs condemning the terrorism of America with the same passion he condemns Muslims whey commit what he considers 'terrorism'!`

@vohshkab I just hate Terrorists killing civilians and police in Syria ...Just have a look at Americas September 11 Attacks...what was done? America fucked up Iraq, Libia Afganistan just for one Attack.

As soon as a suicide attack hits Syria America is supporting the Terrorists and against President Assad.. Why? Then they start training the Al Qaida Gangs in Jordan....Its a Conspiracy ...Sorry mate but from today the United Snakes of America are rats of the world and War addicts.
