"A return to Islamic fundamentals is precisely what Assad and the Syrian Government are combating."A return to Islamic fundamentals is precisely what Assad and the Syrian Government are combating. Syria is attempting to modernize and secularize without kowtowing to western banks/powers. Western banks/powers are thus supporting hardcore Islamic extremists in the region and funneling others in from extremist breeding-grounds, who are attempting to overthrow the Syrian government and re-establish religious rule/law.
America is bombing civilians daily in at least five different countries. While Assad is certainly no saint, name me a world leader with an actively engaged military who isn't a murdering war-criminal in someone's eyes. He may certainly be bombing Ghouta, and the death of civilians in a bombing campaign is tragic and wrong in any circumstances, but it's rather like moonless midnight calling the kettle black for America/Americans to suggest Assad's campaign to push an extremely violent faction of militarized extremist terrorists holding territories and brutalizing people in his own country out is somehow gravely criminal, while dropping their own bombs completely uninvited and with no legal sanction on a multitude of nations, killing civilians in each. Hell, America has launched several attacks on the Syrian Government itself, under absolutely no threat and with absolutely no indication- let alone declaration of war between the two countries. Syria is fighting and killing yes, and civilians are tragically caught in that fighting and killing which is fundamentally wrong, but Syria is fighting and killing for its immediate survival. Fighting and killing as a matter of geopolitical strategy or for motive of profit is far, FAR more twisted.
Incorrect. Assad and his allies are fighting against the implementation of COMPLETELY FALSE interpretations of Islam and sharia law. ISIS and their ilk do NOT represent Islamic fundamentalism any more than the KKK represents Christian fundamentalism. Those words/terminologies have been hijacked for far too long.........
