How do you know? Are you following all the internet & youtube posts of what’s happening there?

I know because as I pointed out in the first post the report does not match the observed results. If the press says that a city has been under constant and intense artillery barrage for a couple of weeks and the city doesn't look like Manila in 1945 I know they are putting out propaganda. There may be sporadic shelling, but not a proper barrage.

And how do you know what percentage of the people fighting Assad are Muslim Brotherhood?

Turns out it doesn't matter. The majority in Tunisia weren't MB, but the Islamists now exercise power there way in excess of their numbers. The majority of people in Egypt didn't claim to be MB, but the MB is taking over there. The majority of Libyans weren't MB, but the MB took over. Are you seeing a pattern here, because I sure as heck see one.

Is anyone who is muslim your enemy?

Only those who say up front that they are. If you are waging a "global anti-western, anti-capitalist revolution", the claimed goal of leaders of the Arab Spring, then yes you are my enemy.

“Is anyone who is muslim your enemy?”
“Only those who say up front that they are.”

You said “When thousands of my enemies are killed by each other, no it isn’t that bad.”

How do know the thousands killed are your enemy?

Yes, I see a pattern of MB opportunism.
Your answer to it is what? Let Assad slaughter whoever he wants to?

The majority of people in Egypt didn't claim to be MB, but the MB is taking over there.

75% of Egyptian voters chose Islamist parties. The parts of the 75% that did not choose the Muslim Brotherhood chose the Salafist party. If Egyptians aren't Islamists, I have to wonder what % would be required before we called them Islamists. Note a Pew survey showed that 90% of Egyptians agree with making apostasy a capital offence. The only American-style party in Egypt got 2% of the vote.
