sympathise for syria, page-5

the reality is, that us plebs do not know what is really happening. watso is suspicious about the media.

it could be , that some of those countries need to be ruled with an iron fist - just to keep the militant religious people under control/

america has no problems supporting despots - the house of saud have ruled saudi arabia for donkey years. one wonders how many christian churches are in saudi arabia????

oh - here is a story about the desecration of churhes in syria, by western supported rebels

http://rt.com/news/syrian-rebels-desecrate-christian-churches-897/

the following bit was from an english paper

"Homs at Easter used to be a tapestry of colourful parades, said Dima Moussa, a member of the Syrian National Council who recalled years of festive visits to her family in Homs as a young woman.

“You could feel Easter across the whole city. Everybody would put on their best clothes, a the children would parade around their church playing instruments,” said Dima. “We painted boiled eggs and brought them to Church to be blessed.”

“It is a family occasion. Everyone would visit their relatives, bringing with them colourful eggs and chocolate for the children. My grandparents would put on huge meals, often a whole sheep, for the whole family”

compare the above, to saudi arabia - and from wikipedia

"Saudi Arabia allows Christians to enter the country as foreign workers for temporary work, but does not allow them to practice their faith openly. Because of that Christians generally only worship in secret within private homes.[3] Items and articles belonging to religions other than Islam are prohibited.[3] These include Bibles, crucifixes, statues, carvings, items with religious symbols, and others.[3]".

on tv the other night, there was a story about afganistan, when they were fighting the russians - the cia poured in billions, and that money was matched by the saudis/ gosh, donot be surprised if the saudis are still supporting the people fighting the americans
