Anger over the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin has stretched all the way from Sanford, Florida to Syria, where residents of a besieged town weighed in on the verdict Monday.
“Martin family!,” reads a sign drawn up by the rebels in the Syrian town of Kafr Anbel, part of the Syrian city of Idlib. “The Syrians are the best who know what it’s like to lose loved ones by immune criminals.”
The northwestern Syrian town, known as the “the creative center of the revolt,” has been making sardonic signs mocking Syrian President Bashar al Assad and his regime for years. Other signs have lashed out at the U.N. for failing to stop the bloodshed in Syria Syrian bloodshed as well as the foreign countries aiding Assad, such as Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
A photo of rebels holding the Trayvon Martin sign was posted on the Facebook page of activist Raed Fares, who explained why the people of Kafr Anbel are making these signs, which are directed at western audiences via social media.
"It's very important to send our message to all the world," he said. "And English is the public language."
Other signs have compared Assad to Don Corleone from The Godfather.....

This message empowered by the travelling roadshow of John McCain.
Having already sided with Al Qaeda (and now welcoming Pakistani Taliban into the ranks), this is small potatos.
The real question is why the West is still supporting this jihadi revolt - one which is now the #1 battleground for Al Qaeda.
With any luck, Assad will crush them just as the Russians crushed the jihad in Chechnya.
LOL
Is this a joke?
This is a joke, right?
Good thing this sign wasn’t written in cursive.
Go Assad!
It’s all Obama’s fault.
Rachel Corey is Syrian, isn’t she? I think I see the connection her, aside from the obvious stupidity factor.
No Hoodie Lovin’?
I get it now. TM was really trying to kill GZ so he could cut out and eat his liver and post the video on youtube.
Those frisky Syrians have found a kindred spirit.

I am not that familiar with the practice. My bad.
I just came back from two weeks in Hawaii.
Just Before I left, I got a letter from the IRS demanding $500 for a math error two years ago, and they took all the money I had saved up for my trip.
Then I had a five hour delay in LAX on the way over.
On day 2, My Best friend had a massive coronary and died in my arms in the back seat of a helicopter over a volcano.
I was made the proxy for identifying her body, and almost had to be the one to instruct the doctors to disconnect her from life support, because we could not find the next of kin, I didn’t know if she had a DNR, and she was an organ donor.
At my own expense, I shipped home her luggage, and spent hours on the phone searching for a responsible party.
My flights got all messed up, and United Airlines charged me to check one bag which they only sent as far as LAX (I live in FL:)
BUT it was still a better time in HI because I didn’t hear about “Trayvon” even ONCE.
I am so sorry for your loss.
It reminds me of the Axis powers. What did Hitler, Emperor Hirohito and Mussolini really have in common? (Not to mention the “Grand Mufti” of Palestine - i.e. Arafat’s predecessor.) Not a whole lot that I can see. But they made common cause in who their enemies were. Politics makes strange bedfellows.
Thank You, Dear FRiend.
((((HUGS))))
It’s a great PR move on their part, when you think about it. What better way of winning the heart of Obama (along with political and financial support, arms shipments, and eventually US troops on the ground) than by a show of solidarity with his surrogate “son”?
Allies in the war against America agree with each other.
The dividing line between those who are righteous and those who are evil is becoming clearer as the armageddon clock ticks down, answering the question why a loving God would make a Hell.
What a heart breaker! Glad your home, an pray God give you peace, rest and resolution.
Thank You, Dear FRiend. And God Bless You.
