Added a death toll table, because of the numbers in the sidebar are usually, when it comes to the kurds, outdated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.227.183.36 (talk) 17:24, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should Death toll table include past clashes between kurds and islamists like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ras_al-Ayn ?

I'd also update the death toll with new 450 civil victims [1] [2]. (User Archinovista) 8 August 2013

In the death toll listing the casualties for 'rebel' groups fighting on the Islamist side of the conflict are omitted. I believe that this is highly inconsistent and therefore I shall be adding 'rebel' casualties to the Islamist death toll list whenever these are omitted.

Why is this article specifically about Islamists only, not Syrian rebels in general? FunkMonk (talk) 20:51, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because specifically only islamists fight there. Sources even go further and say jihadists or sometimes only AQ. EllsworthSK (talk) 18:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Time answered my question, there are no non-Islamist rebels anymore, if there ever were. FunkMonk (talk) 00:15, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Assad/Islamists might just be two sides of the same fascist authoritarian coin , - he let them out of prison in 2011 , -[3] The Syrian regime is nominally secular. But it has a long history of tacit cooperation with militant Islamist groups - der Spiegel mentioned this release in 2011 as significant alsoSayerslle (talk) 01:16, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, so you're eating into this hogwash conspiracy theory that was created when people realised the FSA was doomed. I'll only ask this: Why did the FSA welcome the Islamists, until the very end? Why did they say they are "one" and "brothers" with them? Why did the condemn when Nusra was declared a terrorist organisation? Why did they never attack them, even when they were repeatedly attacked by them? The Islamists have killed far more Syrian soldiers than the FSA ever did, so how exactly does this theory make any sense? Yes, criminals are sometimes released, and these criminals sometimes commit more crimes. On the other hand, the Syrian army has welcomed hundreds of FSA members who defected back to them. What does this mean? Please spare us these pathetic theories. FunkMonk (talk) 01:49, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

not my theories, its just what happened in the spring of 2011 - der Spiegel also had this article -[4] - lifes not always black and white you know, its often grey - politics is a cynical business , that's a fact. Sayerslle (talk) 02:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Are you one of those people who think Assad blew up his own bases early on, as well as his own generals and brother in law, like the western media kept parroting from opposition propagandists? FunkMonk (talk) 02:49, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

are you one of those twitter pro-house-of-Assad parrots who think like this -- 'ⓉⒽⓄⓂⒶⓈ ⓃⓄⓋⓄⓉⓃⓎ ‏@ThomasNovotny 37m

@Brown_Moses Unlike you - I actually care about #Syria. I don't like to see it destroyed because of YouTube and pseudo experts @stianuhlmann' - - 'destroyed because of YouTube' !- what an utter moron. Sayerslle (talk) 15:45, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unlike most random Americans cheerleading for the FSA here, I neither care about nor get any of my news form Twitter. Another question: If the Salafist groups are created/controlled by Assad, why do they get support from the Saudis, Turkey and Qatar? Can this conspiracy get any bigger? Where's Illuminati in all this? But be my guest and spread the rumour all over Wikipedia, it will do nothing than further inter-rebel distrust. Ironically, ISIL supporters accuse the Islamists who fight against them to be akin to the pro-US Sunni "Awakening" movement of Iraq. FunkMonk (talk) 00:04, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• So now the FSA is in the taxobox. What is the justification for writing "Islamist" in the infobox, and not just Syrian rebel/opposition? FunkMonk (talk) 19:40, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just wanted to ask someone who knows how if they could expand the map so that it includes the areas to the west which are the front line now. thanks. --U5K0'sTalk_{Make WikiLove not WikiWar} 19:48, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the long delay, but i tried to extend the map and it couldn't pull it of. Instead i made a map for the situation in Kobane instead. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Siege_of_Kobane.svg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.227.176.12 (talk) 22:40, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I gave it another try. The map at the bottom is an expanded map with a better background...

SOHR hasn't reported any Kurdish deaths or any fighting in the Kurdish areas since ISIL was expelled from AQ. Can anyone confirm whether this conflict is ongoing or not?

SOHR also reported on 2/8/14 that both Nusrah and Ahrar al Sham have been attacked by ISIL in Hasakah province, and Ahrar in particular announced that they're abandoning the united front there.

Hystanes (talk) 23:19, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is nice. The conflict is ongoing. Still fighting in Sousik for example. Mabroukah front is very hot lately and no party has announced end of hostilities. EllsworthSK (talk) 13:37, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The last edit by the user named Predator2014 is not supported by the reference; just because the US supported some Syrian rebels who ultimately (purportedly) joined the IS doesn't mean that the US supports the IS. It is quite misleading to claim so, I think. I would revert it myself, but I believe that that would breach the revert rule on Syrian civil war articles. David O. Johnson (talk) 17:37, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You can revert a specific edit once, so it should not be a problem. FunkMonk (talk) 17:40, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notice. David O. Johnson (talk) 18:18, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to ask other editors on whether Turkish alleged involvement should be included. I propose the inclusion of the following section into the article.Predator2014 opposes it.Should it be included or not?

Supported by:

•  Turkey (alleged) An Exclusive Interview with Premier of Kobane Anwar Moslem About Ongoing ISIS Attacks, 23 September 2014</ref>

Catlemur (talk) 09:23, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this information could be mentioned in the "Main Text" somewhere, but in the 'InfoBox' should be only uncontroversial, verified and consistent information.

P.S. This information is POV of Anwar Moslem.

----

Predator2014 (talk)

The information is not POV.It is barely the opinion of the Kurdish side, hence the alleged mark.It is by no means controversial.Turkey has already blocked Kurds from entering Syria (which itself can be considered as a minor form of indirect support to the enemies of YPG), there is also an endless list of reasons why Turkey would like to weaken Rojava.Catlemur (talk) 12:50, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• If you want, I can suggest more accurate version:

Indirect support:

•  Turkey (claimed by some Kurdish officials)

Because I don`t see in your explanation evidence of direct support from Turkey. But again it would be better if we would add this information to this article, but not InfoBox.
P.S. I think that Turkey blocked Kurds from entering Syria not because they support IS, but because they are afraid of possible re-armament of PKK
Predator2014 (talk)

• Is it even controversial anymore, for anyone but Erdogan supporters? It is well known and reported that Turkey let's Islamists use their border at will, for practically any purpose. FunkMonk (talk) 13:59, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Since FunkMonk agrees with my version, I will restore the section that Predator repeatedly removed.Any further removals will lead to an immediate vandalism report.--Catlemur (talk) 15:33, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Catlemur (talk), too soon. Here were and users that disagree with you.
— Preceding(talk) 16:13, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• If one user agrees with you, it doesn`t mean that you can immediately add your information --Predator2014 (talk) 28 September 2014 (UTC)
• I read more attentively your ref. Anwar Moslem does not claim Turkish support to ISIS.

See full text:

Anwar Moslem: Yes, that’s right. It regularly happens. But our people from Northern Kurdistan will also join us despite the difficulties created by the Turkish authorities. Those who want to cross the border to Kobane, they can do it one way or another despite all those hardships. But Turkish authorities must realize that if the ISIS seizes Kobane, they will soon head to Turkey. Turkish officials must take this fact into account and help Kobane and let Kobane’s boys and girls cross the borders to their own city.

He just warned that if Turkey will not support Kurds (remain neutral), soon ISIS will attack them (Turks).
Predator2014 (talk) comment added 16:42, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"They attack us with the support of the Assad regime, and also Turkey is turning a blind eye" This quote is from here Here is another link with proof (go to 21,40). Please stop turning a blind eye and openly lying about the issue.--Catlemur (talk) 17:00, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your new sources again claim only indirect support from Turkey (based on their neutrality). Plus, they openly claim Assad`s support for Islamists. Why you do not add Syria to the InfoBox then? --Predator2014 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:07, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have provided enough evidence and have (at least so far) received overwhelming support from other users.Tomorrow I am going to put the section back,in case you persist I will report you. Catlemur (talk) 17:30, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your refs. doesn`t claim Turkish direct support. Your unilateral actions will be considered as vandalism. And you did not answer about your refs. claims that Syrian government supports ISIS against Kurds.--Predator2014 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:59, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Turkey might intervene against Assad [5], making this discussion irrelevant. David O. Johnson (talk) 16:12, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sure,delete the section as soon as it happens.So far they block Kurdish volunteers from entering Syria.--Catlemur (talk) 17:11, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How do you have overwhelming support from the users? I've only seen you and one other user express support for this opinion. The rest were dissenting. --47.55.19.76 (talk) 21:49, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of Turkey with ISIL is inappropriate. Turkey has armed FSA, but the "support" of ISIL claim revolves around open or closed borders. It appears that Turkey is trying to control their own Kurdish population, and prevent ISIL from attacking in Turkey.Legacypac (talk) 05:43, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how this should be done, but the YPG has collaborated with the FSA recently [6], so putting them as belligerents is somewhat misleading, based on the current status of the conflict. I propose that the infobox be updated. David O. Johnson (talk) 09:49, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone translate this [article] from French?--Catlemur (talk) 19:12, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

The article's title is troubling. It presents the conflict as between Kurds and Islamists when the kurds are being armed and supported by Islamist governments, and there are kurdish islamists. http://time.com/3196580/iran-kurds-isis-erbil-iraq/ I propose the article be renamed as Kurdish involvement in the Syrian Civil war.

The list of Belligerents gives a false impression of uniformity putting the Islamic State and AL Nusra on the same side when they are also fighting each other. The FSA is also not an Islamist movement and if the debate is framed as Kurdish vs Islamist they should definitely not be included. I propose that the list be removed completely.

The biggest part of the FSA is islamist only the Non-Muslims in FSA (Christians, Yazidis, Communists) are really secular.--141.19.228.15 (talk) 19:34, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You probably haven't understood that FSA is not militia group, it is organization. Majority of FSA groups who fight agains the Kurds are Islamists, like al-Nusra and al-Sham. FSA has supported them in fighting against the Kurds and Kurds are not in FSA anymore. al-Nusra and ISIS have cooperated against the Kurds, read sources. No Islamist government support the Kurds. Your source says Iran supported Iraq and thus the Kurds but not directly.Ferakp (talk) 09:21, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the article does not makes sense. Because there are Kurds who are Islamists the IS and other Islamist Organization have also Kurdish members. The Kurdish Islamic Front is a Kurdish Islamist Organization who is a member of the FSA.--SBC Guy (talk) 07:59, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Kurdish Islamic Front isn't part of the FSA, it's part of Ahrar al-Sham who is not part of the FSA either. The only Kurdish FSA groups are Liwa Ahfad Saladin, who is anti-YPG, and Jabhat al-Akrad, which is pro-YPG. Editor abcdef (talk) 08:13, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My point was that the Name Kurdish-Islamist conflict doesn't make sense because there are Kurds who Islamists too.--Besserung erkannt (talk) 08:59, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's true but there are also Arabs in the Israel Defense Forces (Arab–Israeli conflict) and pro-Moscow Chechens (Chechen–Russian conflict). That said, I think the best way to resolve this issue is merge this article into Rojava conflict (which is being discussed here). Charles Essie (talk) 14:52, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merging with the Rojava conflict would make the article way too long and a lot of content in that article covers the relations between Rojava an the government, not with Islamists. Editor abcdef (talk) 05:50, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I also suggested that the content about the social revolution in Rojava be split into a separate article. Charles Essie (talk) 15:38, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Islamic State has kurdish members too. The IS is only against Yezidis, Kurdish Schia Muslims and the secular socialist and communist PKK and its sub-Organizations but not against the Kurdish people.--141.19.228.15 (talk) 19:32, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is against the Kurdish people. According to sources they have declared Jihad against the Kurds.Ferakp (talk) 09:17, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No you are wrong the IS is a Sunni Islamist Organization they are not anti-Kurdish Racists like the Grey Wolves. They fight only against the PKK and Kurdish Islamists who support the FSA like the Kurdish Islamic Front.--SBC Guy (talk) 08:02, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article from the very beginning described the conflict between Rojava and al-Qaeda, including IS. There is already an article for the YPG-FSA conflict at YPG-FSA relations and all the content related to the conflict should be placed in that article, which is too big for a merger with this article. Editor abcdef (talk) 05:32, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is related to Islamist rebels and the YPG. al-Qaeda, a.k.a al-Nusra Front is just a part of the conflict, even though it is a part of the FSA. The majority of FSA groups which are in conflict with the YPG are ideologically Islamist and declared a war against the Kurdish parties. The YPG-FSA relation is related to the FSA and YPG. This article is related to all Islamist groups, including ISIS.Ferakp (talk) 11:39, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First of all al-Nusra is not part of the FSA. The reason that the FSA was added to the infobox was probably because of the Battle of Ras al-Ayn, when the FSA helped al-Qaeda to attack the YPG in the city, but the battle was over two years ago. The article YPG-FSA relations cover the major conflicts between the two groups and is too long for a merger with this article, and this article exclusively cover the conflict between Rojava and ISIS, so why not keep the articles separate and keep their scopes? Editor abcdef (talk) 12:29, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a draft article about relations between Iraqi Kurdistan and Rojava using a paragraph from Foreign relations of Rojava. It needs a lot of work and I'd truly appreciate some help in developing it. Charles Essie (talk) 16:27, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In this article there is no particular dispute that deserves an article alone. There is no conflict between Kurds and Islamists. I do not think that this article is worth staying and therefore I ask to delete it or merge it after getting the necessary votes. What's the source for the start of the conflict. I can not find any. Plus I have never read about a speacial Kurdish-Islamist conflict in Syria in neutral sources. In short this article is artificial and there are unknown goals behind its creation. The intermittent fights between the Kurds and the Islamists is not special and not unique to write about. Syrian Democratic Forces are not pure Kurds to be placed with the Kurds. There is also a huge lack of other wikis. The Syrian civil war is in its final stages, so there is no need to divide the conflict into conflicts with no horizon for its end.--Sakiv (talk) 23:58, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
