One of the three founders of Baathism, Michel Aflaq, was a Christian, and all the founders considered Islam a cause of the backwardness of the Arabs. All were students at La Sorbonne. While I don't like either, I certainly prefer inclusive secular Baathism to exclusivist (Sunni or Shiite Only) Islamist ideologies:
"The original Baath party in Syria conformed to the inclusive pan-Arabist ideal, with room in the ranks for Sunni Arabs, for Christians like Aflaq himself, for members of the heretical Alawi sect of Shiism, for Druzes and Ismailis, and for anyone at all who claimed some kind of Arab background, if only linguistically ...."
So?? Marxism was nice too. Pol Pot and Stalin did not know-----the ideology
EVOLVED. Are you very very very young?. The Essenes ----a group of whom
some people believe Jesus was a member----and John the magical baptizer----
lived a Marxist life in some desert caves------pure and holy. Baathism today and for almost the past 100 years is what its leaders have been----- your fave friend
Baby throat slitter al husseini, mass murderer gamal abdel Nasser, mass murderer Saddam Hussein and mass murderers papa and baby assad
*****ARE BAATHISM*****
(you got that all right----originally baathism was arab
national socialism and as such it appealed to genocidal dogs
and still does)
I prefer it to the Islamists you support.
