Indeed, but if any Christian were to have challenged Saddam's rule, he/she would be duly taken care of (which certianly did occur). One would have to be fairly deluded to regard such as 'protection.' The Christians are not the only religious group in Iraq who are mistreated and persecuted, despite the constant and slanted victimhood-posturing by some.
I never claimed otherwise and the protection is from the Muslim majority, not protection from himself, of course I never claimed otherwise.
Since you're relatively new here I'll forgive your ignorance of my numerous criticisms of the Saudi kleptocracy. Being as I haven't tried to paint "all of the dictatorships in the region as if they were all equally as barbaric as the one in Saudi Arabia", I'm not sure what exactly is the point of attacking that strawman unless you're showing your own partisan hand on behalf of the barbarians in Damascus and their supporters. In light of the thousands of civilians that Assad and his thugs have murdered, I think it certainly can be argued that his regime qualifies as the most barbaric dictatorship in the region right now.
Since we're on par with the above, let's return to your initial claim: The problem that arises here is that Saddam was also a Muslim, and it thus follows that one cannot place the blame of the policies of a country on the religion of those ruling the country; rather, it would be more appropiate (and correct) to criticize the policies themselves of those individuals in power.
The false accusers are most upset about Syrian President Hafez Al Assad for wiping out the Israeli backed Muslim Brotherhood in Hama 1982. Now they are trying the same thing, but have US support this time. Their goal is to wipe out the Christians in Syria and establish a Talmudic Caliphate that will go on to do the same thing in Russia, Europe and America.
The hand that provoke Syria crisis. Quote, "SYRIA: US-NATO Supported "Opposition" Commits Extensive War Crimes by Devon DB Global Research, March 20, 2012 Finally, it should be noted that there are many similarities between the Syrian rebels and the Libyan rebels. The Libyan rebels launched a media propaganda war against Gaddafi, must like how Al Jazeera has lied about the ongoing events in Syria. In addition to this, much like the Syrian rebels, the Libyan rebels also committed war crimes. While there are those who may be pushing for intervention into Syria, they may want to rethink it the situation in light of this new information. The situation may end up much worse as the Libyan rebels were linked to Al Qaeda and the NTC is now going to enact Sharia law. We should not want the same fate for the people of Syria. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=29867
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33MR5p0PjS0&feature=related I hope we can find a way to save the Christians. I don't know how. I wish the West was on their side.
The Muslim Brotherhood severely enforces the Talmudic Noahide laws against Christians. That is why the Israelis accept the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists. It is better for appearances to have the Muslim crazies do it than to do it themselves. The USA has adopted the same Talmudic Noahide law as US policy, local, national and international. Under that law, all it takes is 1 Rabbi to convict a whole nation and condemn them to death. That is why the US has so harshly persecuted Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Libya and now Syria. That is why the US feels justified in telling the worst lies to accomplish the destruction of the Christians in Syria as it did in Iraq and Libya. The president of Syria is neither evil nor a dictator like the war crazies keep saying. Part of the problem is that something is preventing the Syrian government from arming the Syrian people so that the HATO/Saudi terrorists can waltz into a village and slaughter many without danger of opposition. Perhaps it is the same thing that tricked Syria into an alliance with Iran. The rest of the problem is the insane love of war by most US so called Christians who accept any atrocity on the road to Armageddon. Little do they know that they are following the 3 evil spirits of Rev. 16, and the sinogog of anti-Christs.
No, it's the Arabs with their oil that controls the U.S., and we can thank the Democrats for that and the support they get from the environmentalists. If it wasn't for them, we would be developing our own gas and oil resources which is more than the whole world's combined. The Arabs also control the U.N. except for the Security Council, and it's under their direction that we interfered in Libya. The Sunni Arabs, (Saudi Arabia and Quatar), are the ones that are now causing the mess in Syria...with Turkey of course who has it's own territorial ambitions.
Why is Jenny playing that crat vs can game? Anyone can see that they are simply different sides of the same coin. And since 1991, when the US passed the Noahide codes, we have been directed by the Rabbis. The reason the US helped establish the Muslim Brotherhood Whahabi crazies over Libya is because that is what the head Rabbi wanted. And, under the Noahide codes, all US officials must obey the head Rabbi. Jenny is still wrapped up in the Arabs vs Israelis game. It was a scam all along.
Offering open aid to Syrian rebels, as Britain as decided to do (and the USA?), is like doubling down on the lessons of Libya. An anti-Western leader will hopefully be overthrown, but we will be left with a fractured and violent country in danger of falling into the hands of Islamo-fascists. The calculation is presumably to support the set of rebels we approve of and to offset the Wahabi/Salafist support coming from Saudi Arabia and some of the Gulf States in the hopes that people we can live with end up in power (with the byproduct of weakening Iran by cutting it's pipeline to Hezbollah in Lebanon). This is a big gamble. Things could go horribly wrong, and there are third party players like Turkey that could become involved. Worse, it could destablize places like Jordan and Lebanon and even stir up the uneasy situation in Iraq. Let's hope Cameron and Obama know what they are doing!
The President of Syria was not and is not "anti-American". He offered the USA a military base etc. and the US turned them down. Things are supposed to "go horribly wrong". That is part of the motive of the war crazies.
It appears to some of us living in the region that an unstable mideast is of benefit to someone - not sure whom however .
All sponsored and supported by the US war crazies. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Saudi terrorists as she arrived Saturday in Istanbul. She wants to "stop the bloodshed" by sending in more cutthroat terrorists to attack the Syrian people. What a glorious example of complete hypocrisy.
German war correspondent Jurgen Todenhofer accuses the 'friends of Hague and Clinton rebels' of “deliberately killing civilians" http://www.phantomreport.com/german...campaign=Feed:+PhantomReport+(Phantom+Report)
I can't tell who is who in Syria, but Assad has sent jet fighters to attack some cities. http://www.haveeru.com.mv/world/43916 Britain said on Friday it would give the rebels five million pounds ($7.82 million, 6.3 million euros) in non-lethal assistance, including body armour and communications equipment. Meanwhile the International Committee of the Red Cross said the Syrian Red Crescent had suspended most of its work in Aleppo because of the extreme danger. A statement in Geneva said the ICRC had managed on Thursday to deliver food and other essentials to cover the needs of at least 12,500 people in the city of some 2.7 million people. Meanwhile the imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam's holiest site, warned that a "genocide" was underway in Syria and urged participants at an Islamic summit to take place on Tuesday to take action against the Syrian regime. Mosques and Islamic centres across the United States also came together on Friday to condemn the Syrian regime's brutal crackdown and raise funds for civilians trapped in the conflict.
Every one of those US "Islamic" centers & mosques is terrorist center to be used against the US when its our turn.
thank you for pointing it out. the prosecution of Christians right now in the ME is sending shock waves back here to the US, a bastion of Christian believers. And that is fine! there should be some concern. In 1946, Israel began a religious cleansing to Muslims in what was then Mandated Palestine. Until Neighboring countries intervened, Jewish terror groups emptied over 400 towns and villages of more than 600,000 Muslim Palestinians. As is per usual, the Christians and Jews in those areas were allowed to stay. and then of course, 1967, Israel usurped the rest of Mandated Palestine, leaving millions -not only homeless, but STATELESS. Why did Israel do it...? because they hate Muslims. they refuse to live next door to them. Ok, Ok, so the victims this time were not Christians, they were Muslims! You see now, Americans, how those people felt at that time? Do you see now why Muslims in surrounding countries felt when they witnessed the cleansings? You - especially the Christians among us should learn a long hard lesson when knowing these historical events that went a long long way to shape the future, to shape our present, now inching closer to WWIII. And it won't be pretty. Yes, you should be just as concerned for Muslims who were brutally mistreated and ARE being mistreated every day, every bit as much as for the Christians being mistreated. Amen
ahhhhhhhh,,,,, could that be because Syria is anti-Isreal..? ya think??? *Everything* the US does in that region is all predicated on how it reflects on good ol' Israel. tired of that crap
