The United States is about 8,000 miles from the middle east and the European Jews that stole the Palestinian’s land and now rule Palestine / Israel have no business there either.

Just as the British colonized the middle east after WW I, the colonization continues today by the USA. But now the US government’s foreign policy is run by Israeli agents – AIPAC Jews.

Iran TV: 48 Iranian pilgrims kidnapped by gunmen in suburb of Syrian capital:http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/ML_SYRIA?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

politically, i think both ls and pgg come from a far right “cold war” perspective politically and i gathered that view from not a single post, but from reading their writing across this site.

i guess this could also be a response to part of at’s comment above.

it was a while ago, i don’t remember the thread, but i tried a couple of times but he seemed to ignore the questions i raised and just go on or repeat what he wrote before. my impression at the time was he just wanted to post his views.

The zionists are definitely not interested to know your family story, they say there were no such people.

Why don’t you write about your family history? Even without using any name. I fear the history might be lost. Actually I went to the opening of a new faculty at SOAS for exactly this purpose.

The older generation are dying now the history has to be recorded.

In parallel, it can hardly be expected of the average Syrian Christian or Alawi to watch the armed opposition videos with their explicitly Sunni imagery, chants and historic associations and not feel threatened by their tone and rhetoric.

These videos are actually a very important tool of the FSA and other armed groups in terms of broadcasting their war against the regime and mobilizing support. The political message of those videos, however, is increasingly becoming harder for non-Sunnis to relate to.

A Syrian opposition supporter made the observation that most of the “Allahu Akbar” chants heard on Youtube videos “are just a bunch of people who had no idea what else to chant.” There is indeed a lot of truth to this observation, as it reveals both the instinctive resort to Islamic chants and the lack of alternative political or patriotic slogans.

But as the uprising takes an increasingly militarized form, the continuing absence of the opposition’s political vision, beyond the stated desire to unseat Assad, seriously raises the prospect of a war of attrition in which regime supporters will have no incentive to compromise or even consider switching sides. Far from being a theoretical luxury, a coherent political vision would have convinced those reluctant to join of the merits of a post-Assad future.

But as it stands, the political leadership of the opposition has not only failed to produce a political vision, it has also failed to establish control over the armed groups within and outside the FSA. Neither the now almost irrelevant Syrian National Council (SNC) nor the Local Coordination Committees (LCCs) possess that sort of authority over the armed wing of the uprising. The SNC has also eroded its authority further by failing to establish a foothold within Syria as it tries to control events from abroad.

It would be wrong, however, to assume that this is an indication of a religious agenda that is driving the uprising. Religious narrative is being used as tool for stoking communal solidarity, but the exact influence that Islamization will have in the future has by no means been determined yet. There will be political battles to overcome this issue, heralded by the competition that the “mainstream” sections of the FSA are engaged in with more radical elements, some of which are coming from abroad.

In the absence of a clear political vision and credible leadership, the role of religious mobilization is then becoming increasingly important. Not only does it serve as a vehicle for solidarity and finding common purpose but it also gives meaning to the struggles and sacrifices that people are making.

There is a useful comparison to be made between the FSA and Hezbollah in this context. The FSA’s “religious” tone by no means exceeds that of the Lebanese party which, after all, is known as the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon. Hezbollah’s explicit Islamist and Shia identity did not prevent it at a certain point from becoming quite popular in the Arab world and among Sunnis. It also had and still has support among some Christians and secular leftists in Lebanon.

Or is Mubarak System with Mursi instead of Mubarak?
Saying Islam is the solution or the solution is Islam is not enough

Now stop begging please

Why don’t you tell us about life in Lebanon, no one wants to know about Islamic fiqh. Or tell us about Palestine which part your family came from and if you have been there. I would love to hear about such things.
