Syria's religious and ethnic minorities need to work together with liberal Sunni Muslims to counter the influence of Islamists in the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, a prominent Sunni Muslim opposition figure said.

Kamal al-Labwani said Islam was being used to galvanize street protests against Assad and the population had grown more devout, but most Syrians still want Islam to "remain a religion, not a political party."

"This region will not stabilize without a reformation in Islamic culture that creates an Islam compatible with liberal values and modernism and breaks the totalitarian dogmatic Islamist thinking," he said.

Our glorious leader Hussein has abetted the Arab Spring which has removed secular regimes and installed Islamist ones.

All while protecting Rat Boy's rule in Terror-ran.

Hussein is to this New Hitler as the Grand Muppet of Jerusalem was to the old one.

An "Islam compatible with liberal values and modernism" is as likely as Dehydrated Water ("all you add is water")
