  • @yusuf - good analysis. It is indeed a hopeless situation and another example of what happens in lands where there in no rule of law and democracy.

    Peter, I care an many decent people care when innocent people are killed. By the way did you forefathers come here due to hand outs?

  • Peter, how dark is your world.

  • Who cares what happens in Syria! Let them sort it out themselves and as long as they don't come begging for handouts after they have killed most of the country off, I couldn't give a rats!

  • Sad, sad, sad!!! Muslims lives are just numbers for the world whether its the dictators or the western governments who claim to fight terror. No one cares and no one has any knowledge on whats happening in Syria. People like Zaky Mullah are brainwashed and will attain nothing by going there as they are fighting a dictator who has 250 billion dollars personal asset and will do anything to hold power including killing people at will. He is backed by the Russians and Chinese and on the other hand the so called free syrian army who are getting innocent people killed by brain washing them to give their lives in a battle they cannot win. Both sides are violating laws of Islam. They have no idea about Islam and its values that say killing one innocent person is like killing the entire humanity. These are backed by the West So Russia and the US and its side kicks all sponsoring the syrians to kill each other....sad , sad , dad. The people of Syri are the ones who are suffering and no one cares about them, no one.

  • These rebels are terrorists and traitors nothing more, for Andre Parrot said: " each CIVILIZED - i.e. human and humanitarian - citizen in this whole world has two homelands the first is SYRIA and the other his own homeland ". Now these terrorists want to destroy this civilization monument. What do you think? You could come and see for yourselves but not to help the terrorists to see how the Syrian people live!
