I found this posted on FaceBook. Some of the comments are interesting and enlightening, especially the long one from Esmos and the one above it.
- Laurie Hamilton said: And .... the Muslim Brotherhood would be better than Assad ? And the M.B. doesn't spread hate ?
- Joanne Ferry said: the evidence is not clear on who used chemical weapons, my guess the US and Isreal put the chemical weapons in someones hand so they could invade
- Gomez Jose said: 2 weeks prior the gas that killed those little kids most of the people that have critical thinking were aware of the USA plan trugh Alquaeda to use the gas and blame ASSAD ... wake up people
- Yazdan Mehdi said: US and its democracy Is on its way, same as Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya.
Saudi Arabia ( Israel puppet ) spending billions of dollars to change Syrian Regime same as Bahrain and bring US puppet in power..
But lets see coz world is not asleep like before .
- Bejker CyberSyndrome said: Serbia
understand people of Syria,We have been in such kind of false claiming
war in 99.And When we fought against terrorist groups like UCK and Al
qaeda,Usa bombed us.
Just don't make same mistake again...
- Kalina Vaneva said: Assad is an Alawite (a small sect of Shia Islam); however, the majority ethnic group in Syria is Sunni Arab. Alawites under the Assad regime have been given preferential treatment compared with the Sunni majority, causing tension between the two groups. Thus the last fact about Syria is not accurate.
- Esmos Laxmas said: Uhhh some facts need to be further clarified. These so-called benefits are made available to the Syrians who actually WORSHIP ASSAD. A.k.a the people who belong to the Al'awites sect who represent less than 30% of the Syrian population. The Sunni's, who play the majority role, were hugely discriminated, they never got the benefits mentioned above. And NO, ASSAD does NOT have majority support from the Syrians! The huge demonstrations we have all seen in the past few months regarding support for Assad are all Al'awites. The sunni's are displaced, have no place to stay and most of them are refugees in neghbouring countries. LETS GET OUR FACTS STRAIGHT SHALL WE?
Esmos Laxmas said: (cont)... Another fact that we need to unravel is we need to accept the that there is actually a civil war ongoing. It is battle between the merciless forces of Assad and the majority Sunni's. Like i said, they have been discriminated and they stood up in the end. Remember, Assad's father massacred 30,000 Sunni;s 30 years ago with the help of the US govt. There is endless killing of the Sunni's and hence the rebels formed, who are dominated yet again, by Sunni's from all over the world.
(There are countless videos which we have all watched where the rebels were merciless, but have we watched the videos where the Assad forces were merciless? NO.. i'll explain more about it.. read on.) This fight is actually, a struggle for rights. It's a struggle for the majority, who actually want to establish a state for Muslims- the Khilafa, which is an example of a perfecting governing body giving rights to everybody. The Khilafa was established 100 years ago in what was called Sham, made up of Syria, Jordan, Turkey and neighbouring Muslim states. It was so perfect, that none could shake away the bond between the Middle eastern states. Infact, they were more like the "super powers", but more just and fair.
This is when UK and the US came in, they disturbed the entire system, separated the state into countries, installed Patriotism and gained control and formed their won super power- America: This was done by the Rothshchilds etc.
The rebels are working towards achieving this state once again, but without any LEADERS. And guess what? The US has a primary reason to intervene into Syria, to fight off the rebels as they have advanced and are gaining control over Syria. The US has fear for Israel and the topple of Western power if such state was formed. Remove the root before the tree grows anymore.
The next reason is to topple the Assad's by THEMSELVES because of all the reasons we know.You may argue, that the MSM says Obama funds the rebels bla bla... yes they did.. they formed the FSA (Free Syrian Army) keeping in mind that they would serve the West like they did when in Afghan and Iraq.. but motives changed. Al Nussra has more will power than FSA.. FSA rebels have confused their objectives: "Serve the West? or the people of Syria? ", hence a lot of these rebels actually left for Al-Nussra when they wanted to serve the people of Syria.
As a result, there are few in number serving FSA, who infact also fought with the Al-Nussra rebels when they were in huge numbers.
Knowing or not, The US WILL intervene, Syria will fall- it has already, Egypt will follow... the dollar will fall.. powers will shift.
Notes:
- Rothschilds own all Central Banks except Iran, Cuba and North Korea. True? I do not know... See this article: Do Rothschilds Own All Central Banks?
- IMF= International Monetary Fund.
- FSA= Free Syrian Army
- A secular state is whereby a state or country purports to be officially neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion. A secular state also claims to treat all its citizens equally regardless of religion, and claims to avoid preferential treatment for a citizen from a particular religion/non religion over other religions/non religion. Most often it has no state religion or equivalent.
- Muslims - 2 groups (Sunni and Shiite) and they each have sects - see article below for excellent explanation of the differences and why it matters.
- Al-Nusra- "The Support Front for the People of Greater Syria." "Al-Nusra Front," or "Jabhat al-Nusra" is an Al Qaeda associate operating in Syria. The group announced its creation on 23 January 2012 during the Syrian civil war.The group is generally described as being made up of Sunni Islamist Jihadists. Its goal is to overthrow the Assad government and to create a Pan-Islamic state under sharia law and aims to reinstate the Islamic Caliphate. It encourages all Syrians to take part in the war against the Syrian government. Estimates say ~5000 members.
- Caliphate- an Islamic state led by a supreme religious as well as political leader known as a caliph (meaning literally a successor, i.e., a successor to Islamic prophet Muhammad) and all the Prophets of Islam. The term caliphate is often applied to successions of Muslim empires that have existed in the Middle East and Southwest Asia.

The Islam religion was founded by
Mohammed in the seventh century. In 622 he founded the first Islamic state, a
theocracy in Medina, a city in western Saudi Arabia located north of Mecca.
There are two branches of the religion he founded.
The Sunni branch believes that the
first four caliphs--Mohammed's successors--rightfully took his place as the
leaders of Muslims. They recognize the heirs of the four caliphs as legitimate
religious leaders. These heirs ruled continuously in the Arab world until the
break-up of the Ottoman Empire following the end of the First World War.
Shiites, in contrast, believe that
only the heirs of the fourth caliph, Ali, are the legitimate successors of
Mohammed. In 931 the Twelfth Imam disappeared. This was a seminal event in the
history of Shiite Muslims. According to R. Scott Appleby, a professor of
history at the University of Notre Dame,"Shiite Muslims, who are
concentrated in Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon, [believe they] had suffered the loss
of divinely guided political leadership" at the time of the Imam's
disappearance. Not"until the ascendancy of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in
1978" did they believe that they had once again begun to live under the
authority of a legitimate religious figure.
Another difference between Sunnis
and Shiites has to do with the Mahdi, “the rightly-guided one” whose role is to
bring a just global caliphate into being. As historian Timothy Furnish has
written,"The major difference is that for Shi`is he has already been here,
and will return from hiding; for Sunnis he has yet to emerge into history: a
comeback v. a coming out, if you will."
In a special 9-11 edition of the Journal of American History,
Appleby explained that the Shiite outlook is far different from the Sunni's, a
difference that is highly significant:
...
for Sunni Muslims, approximately 90 percent of the Muslim world, the loss of
the caliphate after World War I was devastating in light of the hitherto
continuous historic presence of the caliph, the guardian of Islamic law and the
Islamic state. Sunni fundamentalist leaders thereafter emerged in nations such
as Egypt and India, where contact with Western political structures provided
them with a model awkwardly to imitate ... as they struggled after 1924 to
provide a viable alternative to the caliphate.
In
1928, four years after the abolishment of the caliphate, the Egyptian
schoolteacher Hasan al-Banna founded the first Islamic fundamentalist movement
in the Sunni world, the Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun). Al-Banna
was appalled by"the wave of atheism and lewdness [that] engulfed
Egypt" following World War I. The victorious Europeans had"imported
their half-naked women into these regions, together with their liquors, their
theatres, their dance halls, their amusements, their stories, their newspapers,
their novels, their whims, their silly games, and their vices." Suddenly
the very heart of the Islamic world was penetrated by European"schools and
scientific and cultural institutes" that" cast doubt and heresy into
the souls of its sons and taught them how to demean themselves, disparage their
religion and their fatherland, divest themselves of their traditions and
beliefs, and to regard as sacred anything Western."14 Most distressing to
al-Banna and his followers was what they saw as the rapid moral decline of the
religious establishment, including the leading sheikhs, or religious scholars,
at Al-Azhar, the grand mosque and center of Islamic learning in Cairo. The
clerical leaders had become compromised and corrupted by their alliance with
the indigenous ruling elites who had succeeded the European colonial masters.
Osama bin Laden is a Sunni Muslim.
To him the end of the reign of the caliphs in the 1920s was catastrophic, as he
made clear in a videotape made after 9-11. On the tape, broadcast by Al-Jazeera
on October 7, 2001, he proclaimed:"What America is tasting now is only a
copy of what we have tasted. ... Our Islamic nation has been tasting the same
for more [than] eighty years, of humiliation and disgrace, its sons killed and
their blood spilled, its sanctities desecrated."
Juan Cole, a well-known historian of
the Middle East, has pointed out on his blog, Informed Comment, that the split between
Sunni and Shiites in Iraq is of relatively recent origin:
I
see a lot of pundits and politicians saying that Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq
have been fighting for a millennium. We need better history than that. The
Shiite tribes of the south probably only converted to Shiism in the past 200
year s. And, Sunni-Shiite riots per se were rare in 20th century Iraq. Sunnis
and Shiites cooperated in the 1920 rebellion against the British. If you read
the newspapers in the 1950s and 1960s, you don't see anything about
Sunni-Shiite riots. There were peasant/landlord struggles or communists versus
Baathists. The kind of sectarian fighting we're seeing now in Iraq is new in
its scale and ferocity, and it was the Americans who unleashed it.
In December 2006 the New York Times reported that it is not just
ordinary Americans who find it difficult to remember the difference between
Sunnis and Shiites:
SURPRISE
quiz: Is Al Qaeda Sunni or Shiite? Which sect dominates Hezbollah?
Silvestre
Reyes, the Democratic nominee to head the House Intelligence Committee, failed
to answer both questions correctly last week when put to the test by
Congressional Quarterly. He mislabeled Al Qaeda as predominantly Shiite, and on
Hezbollah, which is mostly Shiite, he drew a blank.
“Speaking
only for myself,” he told reporters, “it’s hard to keep things in perspective
and in the categories.”
Not
that he’s alone. Other members of Congress from both parties have also flunked
on-the-spot inquiries. Indeed, some of the smartest Western statesmen of the
last century have found themselves flummoxed by Islam. Winston Churchill — in
1921, while busy drawing razor-straight borders across a mercurial Middle East
— asked an aide for a three-line note explaining the “religious character” of
the Hashemite leader he planned to install in Baghdad.
“Is
he a Sunni with Shaih sympathies or a Shaih with Sunni sympathies?” Mr.
Churchill wrote, using an antiquated spelling. (“I always get mixed up between
these two,” he added.)
And
maybe religious memorization should not be required for policymaking. Gen.
William Odom, who directed the National Security Agency under President Ronald
Reagan, said that Mr. Reyes mainly needs to know “how the intelligence
community works.”
Yet,
improving American intelligence, according to General Odom and others with
close ties to the Middle East and the American intelligence community, requires
more than just a organization chart.
A
cheat sheet is in order.
The
Review asked nearly a dozen experts, from William R. Polk, author of
“Understanding Iraq,” to Paul R. Pillar, the C.I.A. official who coordinated
intelligence on the Middle East until he retired last year, to explain the
region. Here, a quick distillation.
What
caused the original divide?
The
groups first diverged after the Prophet Muhammad died in 632, and his followers
could not agree on whether to choose bloodline successors or leaders most
likely to follow the tenets of the faith.
The
group now known as Sunnis chose Abu Bakr, the prophet’s adviser, to become the
first successor, or caliph, to lead the Muslim state. Shiites favored Ali,
Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law. Ali and his successors are called imams, who
not only lead the Shiites but are considered to be descendants of Muhammad.
After the 11th imam died in 874, and his young son was said to have disappeared
from the funeral, Shiites in particular came to see the child as a Messiah who
had been hidden from the public by God.
The
largest sect of Shiites, known as “twelvers,” have been preparing for his
return ever since.
How
did the violence start?
In
656, Ali’s supporters killed the third caliph. Soon after, the Sunnis killed
Ali’s son Husain.
Fighting
continued but Sunnis emerged victorious over the Shiites and came to revere the
caliphate for its strength and piety.
Shiites
focused on developing their religious beliefs, through their imams.
Syrian Refugees....

The number of Syrian refugees topped 2 million this week, according to the United Nations human rights agency, UNHCR.
“The war is now well into its third year and Syria is hemorrhaging women, children and men who cross borders often with little more than the clothes on their backs,” the UN report, released on Sep. 3, said.
The 2 million figure represents Syrians who have registered as refugees or who are pending registration. As of the end August this comprised 110,000 in Egypt, 168,000 in Iraq, 515,000 in Jordan, 716,000 in Lebanon and 460,000 in Turkey.
Some 52 per cent of this population are children aged 17 years or below. UNHCR announced only days ago that the number of Syrian child refugees had exceeded 1 million.
A further 4.25 million people are displaced inside Syria, according to data from the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Taken together, these numbers – amounting to more than 6 million people – mean that more Syrians are now forcibly displaced than people from any other country.
UNHCR is active in Syria and is leading the humanitarian response to the refugee crisis in each of the surrounding countries. Humanitarian agencies are worryingly under-supported, with receipt of only 47 per cent of funds required to meet basic refugee needs.

"But the bottom line is that
central banks do the bidding of the Money Power. It originated in Babylon and
spread through the world via Jewish Supremacism. It hides within Jewry and
behind other proxies, most notably Freemasonry and the Vatican. And of course
the Banking Cartel, which is a global, monolithic bloc. Through banking it
also controls all major industries. This power base
allows them to control every Government and every Nation on the Globe and they
are looking to externalize the Hierarchy in a New World Order.
