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.
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.
This is slightly off topic but relates somewhat to Syria and Islam.My friend Tariq who is a devout muslim once told me he believed that the prophet Isa (Jesus' name for muslims) was to return to earth in Damascus to kill Iblis the devil.And that Isa himself would die in this battle to liberate humans from the devils power.Its an interesting belief that I haven't come across elsewhere.Anyone know more about this theory?
lol at "logical religion" what pills u be poppin, i gotta get me some of them
It is not about which side we are on.Assad, Khaddafi are both Tyrants.They were brutal against any opposition.But In this case. In both countries....were a peaceful revolution evolves into an foreign backed & planned armed ressurection for regime-change.We have 2 condemn the agressor.In any country... not only Muslim countries.These people, who are armed directly by Turkey, Qatar an Saud. And indirectly by Nato.Are the aggressor. Any blood that is spilled is ther fault.Any civilian hurt is their fault. Any christian, muslim or atheist hurt, it is their fault.They fuel the conflict.That's why I side for the Syrian people, their courage stand against submission 2 the Zionist dominance in the region.The people have legit demands, but not like this, killing your way through! That is NOT Islamic and should be condemned.
