Yasir Qadhi urges Western Muslims not to go to Syria for jihad

    Prominent American scholar and preacher, Yasir Qadhi has urged Muslims living in the West not to go and fight in Syria.

    In a video posted on his YouTube channel, he says that Bashar al-Assad is the “Pharoah” of our times and the oppression in Syria is unprecedented. But he added that although theoretically doing jihad in Syria is a noble act, realistically Muslims from the West will do more harm than good if they go over there to fight.
