The difference between the “civilized” German coup plotters is that they wanted to kill their target and live afterwards to run a provisional new German government. The Arab Muslims are suicide bombers for Allah. While we are all cheering and passing the popcorn regarding the demise of the Syrian Ba’ath regime we can enjoy the fireworks in the meantime but we must also be aware that the RADICAL ISLAMIC nutcases will replace Assad. So while we are rejoicing we must temper it with great concern for what will follow...

There are indeed radical Islamic nutcases in Syria: far fewer of them, however, in my experience, than in the vast majority of Middle Eastern states. It’s also worth remembering that over 20% of the population is Christian.

Syria is not a ‘religious’ state, in general. When I was there, you could drink beer openly in the street, discuss religion freely and openly, and even date a local girl.

——The Arab Muslims are suicide bombers for Allah-——

That fact is not in any evidence I have seen for the general population and especially not in the current incident under discussion.

Okay, everyone wants Assad gone? Why? He’s a SOB, but he’s a secular SOB who keeps the radical Muslims in line. For the record, he protects the Christians in Syria (with many Christian refugees from Iraq).
