Bashar al-assad and the Syrian conflict

This is regularly censored by the so-called "free" western media.

But yeah, we all know that Assad violates freedom of speech.

First of all, its not as simple as some here may think...

Its not a conflict, its a genocide been committed in syria, and "some" still call it conflict or civil war. When one side is been slaughtered and wiped out from existence you call that conflict?

Thus syria is complex matter and there are many misconceptions about the war in syria.
I think its digusting in this day and age we allow such a thing to happen and blind ourselves from the truth. Its not like a day or 2 of killing, its been going on for 2 years now and EVERYDAY there are hundereds that die in a horrific way, one man was buried alive infornt of his daughter because he didnt say Bashar was god! I could go on and on about the ways they torture peole in syria but I dont see the point. You have to see it yourself.

The only difference here is that the whole world is in silence no matter what we try to tell ourselves. When such crimes happen normally countries intervene in some way or send charities, the red cross doesnt even exist in syria, there is no medical aid (national) which what happens in war zones you send charities which are allowed to enter the country under national law. However, in syria the people are left to die a painful death, young or old. Its a disaster! It just goes to show how evil and twisted some arab leaders are. They are happy as long as they stay in power, whether for 40 years or some 50 years they will do anything to stay in power.

Bashar al-assad stated earlier on when the revolution started: He is prepared to kill the 23 million people if he has to...if thats what it takes to stay in power, he shall do it"

tbh it depends on why exactly we don't want Assad in power, so far all we've been told is blah blah humanitarian blah blah which is clearly a pile of horse **** as both sides are just as bad as each other. If we want to irritate the Russians we can just pay someone to kick Putin's dog, arming fundamentalists will inevitably come back to bite us and our allies (most notably Israel) in the ass so unless there is some massive benefit that i'm missing i really don't see why Cameron is pushing so hard to arm one side.

As much as the West may not like him, he has been keeping Syria stable. Now, it has been infiltrated by terrorists who wish to see the formation of a Syrian Islamic Emirate. The only solutions are:

A) The regime's downfall.
B) The regime's victory (most likely)
C) Syria splintering into different ethnic heartlands. I think B and C are the preferred solutions.

It would be good to see the issue resolved peacfully, but I don't think that will happen. I most likely see the outcome of this conflict as a regime victory, russia is not going to stand down. Also it's key to remember a higher proportion of the population are pro-government which the media seem to purposly not putting across to the audience.

No thanks, we don't need an Alawite ruling Syria. Apart from that, he's an oppressor, dictator and a puppet.

His time is up.

Isn't religion a "oppressor" and a "dictator", since you do what it tells you to no ifs no buts.

The rebels have been going around killing innocents for no apparent reason despite claiming this was the reason they were apparently fighting, it is clear what may have started a genuine uprising has no been taken over by a terrorist element.

Not really, since it shows you how to lead a righteous life, and saves you from danger (ie. fire). Not to mention that you have the choice to follow the guidance or not.

Well its only opinion if it actually leads to people living a 'righteous life',

i'm sure Assad could argue his regime enables people to live a righteous life and it would be no different.

Religion is only really a opinion so can't really be wrong, but the way Assad believes everyone should live is only a opinion and so couldn't really be wrong either.

Also in some countries people following rules created because of religion is optional, but in others the law is based around religion so its not a choice.

Well i read recently a couple of hundred of them went through a city and killed multiple people based purely on the fact they were from a different Muslim group than them. Both sides are committing atrocities, and the rebels do not appear to be any better than the regime.

The All-Knowing doesn't give guidance based on "opinion", rather it would be based upon objectiveness.



Except his is an opinion, based on subjectivity. Maybe if he said what you said and based it on religion (ie. the regime goes by religion), then no one would bother complaining.

One of the main reasons for the up rise is because he doesn't. It's also a huge motivation for the continuation of the resistance.



Not really, for Muslims, who are convinced based on evidences, that Islam is the truth.




Just like how minorities don't get a choice in order to follow so called "democracy".



I'd suggest you be a bit more critical on what you read. Since you're in a country that apparently endorses democracy, then I would've thought based on that, you'd want Assad to fall.

Because a smart person would see that proper 'democracy' in Syria is highly unlikely, whereas an Islamic caliphate is probably a likely occurance if Assad was to fall.

... Now that would be so cool, but I think it's unlikely, Allahu Allam.

What I do see happening is the bonds strengthening between the various Sunni nations (especially given how key/significant Syria is), and more pressure being put on the likes of Hezbollah and Iran. Let's just say, it may be one step closer to unity, which the Muslim world is in real need of right now.

ps. "Proper democracy" doesn't even exist in the west.

Note the quotations of democracy, and why should the west support the Sunni's over the Shia's or alawites.

I don't support either side, i think they are both as bad as each other.
And you believe Islam is the "truth", basing a way a country is run based on the Quran which has its flaws and many would argue its fictional is also arguably a pretty silly idea. Especially considering most countries which have a Muslim dominated government usually are much more violent and have higher poverty rates than those which are ruled based on common sense.

You keep believing that. Some of them may do so due to being corrupt, but they're not really apart of the Mujahideen, who are there for purely good reasons.

A puppet of who?

That is true. With Assad in power, Alawite rule or not, all minorities in Syria have been represented equally and treated fairly. Even those who are not too enthusiastic about the regime would rather have Assad in power than be overrun by Islamic fundamentalists. I am quite happy for Syria to remain in the hands of the Assad family for next 100 years or so, as long as it is stable.

Assad had many religions living under a secular state.
