It is true that every Sunni fighter killed while fighting Assad used to be a civilian.
"When you look at party identification and affiliation it seems like President Obama will still get the majority, if not the plurality, of Iranian-Americans in this election," he said. "Fewer Iranian-Americans today approve of Obama's handling of the Iran issue in his foreign policy than they did in 2009, but the majority, about 55 percent, say they intend to vote for him."Less support for Obama does not translate into more backing for Mitt Romney. A 2012 poll by Zogby Research Services showed only 13 percent of Iranian-Americans are Republicans.
Assad’s savage animal thugs even bash in the skulls of innocent little babies.
I’m one of those Iranian descended Americans and not only is the whole family fervently anti-obama but almost All Iranians I know are also either Republicans and/or anti-obama single issue voters.
Islamists support Obama.
Walid Phares is a neocon tool.
Not to mention fluffy bunny rabbits. Let's just say that we know what Sunnis are capable of, courtesy of 9/11, the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban and the Palestinian intifada. Sunni holy warriors smashed this little girl and her parents to a pulp on 9/11, and their Sunni brethren around the world danced and celebrated:
Note also that it wasn’t Alawites who fought Charles Martel at Tours, conquered Byzantium and Spain, lay siege to Vienna or committed genocide against the Armenians.
You mean we know what muslims are capable of. Muslims like Assad, Hezbollah, and the Ayatollahs.
Shiites like Assad killed our marines in Beirut.
Marines are soldiers. Getting killed is an occupational hazard, especially when you're posted in a locale where the inhabitants don't want you there. Should we have destroyed Iran's air force in retaliation? Reagan had that option but chose not to exercise it. Sunnis came to our land and instead of attacking a military base, killed this baby girl and her parents along with 3000 other people, 90% of them civilians.
Muslim terrorists are all the same. It really doesn’t matter whether they pray to allah or ali.
Not really. So far, there have been dozens of terrorist attacks by Sunnis on US soil and none by Shiites. And Alawites aren't Muslims, as any Shiite or Sunni you ask will tell you. The only Muslims who say (as opposed to believe) that Alawites are Muslims are state-sponsored clerics who are toeing the party line.
The Alawites say they are muslims.
Confessions of an Assad 'Shabiha' loyalist: how I raped and killed for £300 a month - "She was a student of Aleppo University. It was daytime and I was driving around the city with my boss. She was passing on the street. I said to my boss, 'What do you think about this girl? Is she not beautiful?'"We grabbed her and put her into the car. We drove to an abandoned home and we both raped her. After we finished we killed her. She knew our faces and our neighbours, so she could not live."
Muslims say they are apostates. The penalty for apostasy is summary execution. If I were Alawite, and lived in a majority Muslim country, I'd say I was a Muslim too. From Wikipedia:
On 31 January 1973, Assad implemented the new Constitution which led to a national crisis. Unlike previous constitutions, this one did not require that the president of Syria must be a Muslim, leading to fierce demonstrations in Hama, Homs and Aleppo organized by the Muslim Brotherhood and the ulama.They labeled Assad as the "enemy of Allah" and called for a jihad against his rule.[42] Robert D. Kaplan has compared Assad's coming to power to "an untouchable becoming maharajah in India or a Jew becoming tsar in Russia—an unprecedented development shocking to the Sunni majority population which had monopolized power for so many centuries."[44]
Assad responded by arresting about 40 Sunni officers who were accused of plotting.
Nevertheless, Assad returned the requirement to the Constitution to please the Sunnis, but he stated that he "rejects every uncultured interpretation of Islam that lays bare an odious narrow-mindedness and loathsome bigotry".[42] In 1974, to satisfy this constitutional requirement, Musa Sadr, a leader of the Twelvers of Lebanon and founder of the Amal Movement who had unsuccessfully tried to unite Lebanese Alawis and Shias under the Supreme Islamic Shiite Council,[45] issued a fatwa stating that Alawis were a community of Twelver Shia Muslims.[46][47]
Eyewitness accounts speak of dead children, some with hideously deformed faces, where the machetes split their skulls.
"Whole families were slaughtered," Abu Ahmed, a resident of Houla who witnessed the immediate aftermath of the attack, told a GlobalPost reporter in the area. "Women and children were shot from close range or slaughtered with knives. The shabiha did all of that."
You do realize that Stalin’s men committed mass rapes and killings all the way to Berlin, don’t you? Does that mean you would prefer it if Hitler had won?
Sounds like the Shiites say that Alawites are Shiite muslims.
