What does the muslim community in general think about Syria?
virtuoso:
I know there are a couple of muslims on this forum so the question is going out to get them. This is the way I see it, psychopathic devilish fundamentalists want to burn Syria to the ground, murdering sunni muslims, christians, shias, druze and anyone else in their way to impose a totalitarian rule based on a religious book.
So why am I not seeing huge marche from muslims against this? What is happening to the people in Syria is HORRENDOUS and it's implications are even more chilling. I see many thousands of people in Turkey vehemently against this invasion but no real noise from muslims here, here, that is the west.
On the contrary.....I see that these evil terrorists and that's what they are and in the purest sense of the word have managed to recruit from France, Britain, Canada, Germany, Denmark,all across the middle east, Africa. It is OBVIOUS why they see it as a crusade, Syria is a secular government, to these bastards that is the greatest evil and what they are perpetrating with mass suicide bombings, beheading, mutilations, executions, usage of chemical weapons is "Allah's will".
This was the one time for muslims to show solidarity and recognise the evil of Al Nusra, the Bin Laden brigade, the criminal gangs which comprise the so called FSA and the other islamic fighters for what they are.
What STRIKES me as insane is even allowing for the hatred these muslims clearly have, they are EMPOWERING Israel by forcing Hezbollah into this war and it is Israel which gains from this.
It's like Fraxx said at least 60% of the world is a complete idiot.

Obama is tying up loose ends because Bashar al-Assad was Bush's main torturer from 2001-2007 and in 07 he refused to stop helping Hizbullah. Not to mention the Bushs and al-Assads have been family friends since Hafez al-Assad worked with George H.W. in the 70s (when H.W. was CIA Director) and he put Hafez in power. The Bushes and al-Assads are also intermarried. One of the al-Assads is married to George W's sister as I recall.

Well Sami I don't think it's quite that simple but Syria has definitely been a client state of America before, accepting and torturing on behalf of the U.S government. I didn't know the tie up between between Assad's and the Bush's, but I would suggest that there is a much bigger global risk game being played out here than simply tying up loose ends. After all....Obama is just a twisted puppet, he holds the power he is allowed to have.

I support the Assad government over the "Free Syrian Army" simply because that is the lesser of two evils.
If the Salafist/Wahhabi ideology takes government in Syria, the shrines that scared us Shias will be destroyed (that of Sayyeda Zainab and Sayyeda Ruqayyah). There's a certain peace you feel in both those places that is hard to describe.
These rebels have already destroyed a couple of shrines, one related to Prophet Abraham. Its a rotten, corrupted, and misguided ideology that they have.
On top of that, Syria is the biggest link between Iran and Lebanon/Hezbollah. If that connection breaks, it gives Israel, US, the West, and the Gulf nations an easier way to attack Iran.
This isn't a sectarian conflict as is portrayed. These rebels with the corrupted ideology will end up going after Sunnis as well like they've done against the Shias. You look at Saudi Arabia; peaceful protests and a demand for equal rights from Sheikh (i.e. scholar) Nimr al-Nimr...it ends up in killings of Shia, the arrest of the Sheikh and potential execution. You look at Bahrain that started during the Arab Spring; the Gulf nations like Saudi sent their troops to crush the peaceful protests, unjustly jail doctors who helped those being massacred, and without reason jail protestors & human rights activists like Nabeel Rajab.
These so-called 'Muslim" nations only care for themselves: their power & wealth. They don't care for the religion. They do it for their own egos. If they honestly cared about freeing people, where's there support been for Hamas? Why aren't 'rebels' going into Palestine to defend the Palestinians who get massacred? Its simply because these governing bodies are all in it together with the US, Israel, and the West.

Thanks Mo. I think it's worth pointing out that 70% of the Syrian army is Sunni, that Christians did comprise over 10% of Syria. It was a paradise compared to what it has been turned into.
