The only difference between Syria and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and other close U.S. allies, is that Syria has a secular government that protects the rights of the minorities. All of those U.S. allies have far more repressive regimes than the Syrian government, and are religious nutters to boot. Your brainwashed ignorance makes you the "joke".
Assad is a BAATHIST-----just like your idol SADAAM HUSSEIN just as was GAMEL ABDEL NASSER-----
now ask some Chaldeans and some Coptic Christians
just how "not repressive were they"------for that matter---talk
to some Syrian Christians------they have been running from
Syria for decades------
You do understand that the Baath Party is a secular socialist party founded by Michel Aflaq, a Syrian Christian who wanted to create a secular Middle East.
You foolish dunce. Saddam Hussein's Foreign Secretary was a Christian. There were Christian generals in the Army.
As far as the Syrian Christians:
"The Christians of Syria have no real choice in the matter. They have been a tolerated, indeed a privileged, minority under the Ba’athist regime (as they were in Iraq); if the regime falls, their fate will be that of Iraq’s Christians. They cannot understand, indeed are completely bewildered by, what I told them, namely that the British government is considering arming their enemies. They pray that this will not happen, and so do I."
CatholicHerald.co.uk Assad s regime is appalling but I can t blame my Christian friends in Syria for praying that he wins
As far as Nasser:
"Muslims' Fury Falls on Egypt's Christians
"The wave of fundamentalist militancy began early in the 1970's, after the Government of Mr. Sadat, seeking a counterweight to a challenge from left-wing Arab nationalists, released hundreds of militant Muslims who had been jailed for much of the previous two decades. Among the Muslim groups that surged into action in that period was the Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded in 1928 and which advocates the taking of power by legitimate political means."
Guess who had jailed the fundamentalists, a hint, who was the leader before Sadat?
