You're messing with Muslims. Zionists kill innocents and so does the US so stop being a racist and condemn them too. [/quote]Muslims are not a race


I am one and being against a certain group is still prejudice. When others kill no problem. But when Muslims now there's a problem
Its not prejudice to realise the majority of violence these days is in middle eastern Muslim countries


Most of the Middle East are Muslims genius so of course most of the violence is gonna be done by Muslims
And that is the one common denominator in this. Muslims. You don't get Sikhs or Buddhists having these violent tendencies

Disgusting.
Crimes on both sides.
Hopefully a tolerant democratic force will emerge from this civil war; those with the power to make it happen better get it started.

Buddhists mobs are killing Burmese Muslims but of course that doesn;t matter because Muslims are less than human. How many did the US kill in their attack of Iraq? Like 700,000 but of course that's OK. How many were killed in Afghanistan over 1 million but since Muslims are being killed it's ok.

Hey! Stop judging people for their beliefs and traditions! That's so ignorant of you to question their actions! Just because you see it as wrong doesn't mean it is to them!

Not really, but I can see this being the main argument against it...
Any good anthropologist knows that moral relativism does not logically follow cultural relativism.

It's not okay though, all of this killing in general is not okay. No kind of rationalizing, generalizing or semantics are going to make it okay. Fact is, there are people that are crazy and terrible and it turns out that there are a whole lot of them, on all sides of the conflict. And fact is, they should all just stop killing in general.

Is that going to happen? Of course not.

All sides kill civilians. And im not defending the US. But you cant deny that Islam harbours a lot of extremism. Look at the attack on the US embassy in Libya the violence in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. Oh and lets not forget the -blam!-storm Muslims made over a Film nobody even heard of

Media keeps brainwashing with terrorist this, terrorist that. But how much was money was wasted on this war effort? And neither the Middle East governments nor the West or Israel have good intentions. Each one of them is a bigger hypocrite than the other.

No, it's more of the fact that Russia supports Assad. Since RT is a state-run news agency, it makes since to propagate that this is the doing of the Syrian rebels. I'm not ruling out that this is the Shabiha doing this to blame on the rebels, because similar happenings have been done before.

  • 12.10.2012 7:31 PM PDT

Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

This is why the United States should intervene.

By allowing the rebels to go it alone, we allow extremist groups to rise up and gain power and influence. Extremist groups that will, very easily, begin targeting us when this whole thing is over.

This fight will be very long, and very bloody. The Syrian people will be extremely bitter over the fact that we refused to help them; and there's no easier way for an extremist group to seize power than by labeling a scapegoat. In this case, that scapegoat is the USA.

I don't care if people don't support the rebels but don't support Assad. He's another Hitler, Saddam Hussein. Is he paying them off? I mean his supporters.

Why waste money and men trying to help a rebel faction that will have no idea what to do when they get into power?

^Very true. RT often seems to be made up of propaganda and conspiracies aimed at "attacking" the US and the West while "protecting" and praising their "allies" (in this case Assad). Also, notice how RT NEVER covers the protests against the Russian government and ignores the Anti-Putin sentiment hanging around at the moment?

No, stay out. The only thing that will work is for regular Islam to return. The one that protected the Jews in Jersualem, the one that made a lot of progress in Spain. The one that forbids the killing of women and children and gives enemies safe havens. The one that forbids Interest and assists orphans and the poor. Something that Saudi Arabia and UAE doesn't do. That's the only thing that's going to work but will that happen? I'm not seeing it. Even if they hate their own governments they don't like the US either so either way it's a losing game.

Why waste money and men trying to help a rebel faction that will have no idea what to do when they get into power?
A reason why a country, like the US, should step in is because of the resurgence of Al-Qaeda. They're actually using this chaos to grow.

From another group:
As we all know the United States completely withdrew from Iraq, a move that was highly welcome. Just one problem...we completely withdrew, meaning we left no troops to deal with the counter-terrorism threats. A force of American SOF troops to deal with these threats would have been tasked with keeping AQI down in-country and protecting the western boarder from jihadi's wanting to use it as a safe-haven for cross-border attacks into Syria and Jordan.

As a result of this negligence, we're currently seeing a trend with this cell of AQ. It's no longer just about Iraq, the cell is making themselves a regional threat (or as they see it "regional revolutionaries"). Because of the chaos in Syria, they're able to feed off the chaos to better their goals. Al-Nusrah Front, which is soon to be labeled a terrorist organization, is pretty much Al-Qaeda in Syria. But they will never officially say that, as they've learned from past mistakes. If they were to come out and say that they pledge their allegiance to al-Zawahiri, they would stop getting aid from Qatar and Saudi Arabia. It will be interesting, to say the least, to see what they will do when and if this conflict spills over into Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey.

It's safe to say that if the United States would have left SOF troops in country (especially Al-Anbar province) the situation might be different. But, what's done is done. However, there is one thing we could do that would definitely help the growing chaos. Our old alliances in Anbar. We should be exploiting our alliances with these anti-AQ Sunni tribes. With their help, we could cut off Anbar from being used as safe haven for the Syrian AQ cell. Sadly, this probably won't happen. But, I digress.

Furthermore, AQIM (Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb) has fully taken advantage of the chaos in Mali and has formed an alliance with Ansar Dine. Ansar Dine and AQIM have recently taken over literally half of Mali (Source). Now that they have a large stronghold in North Africa (their stronghold is roughly the same size as Texas), they're able to spread their jihad to Libya, which we all know what has happened there in recent months.

Another area that AQ is thriving in is the Sinai Peninsula. This group has pledged allegiance to al-Zawahiri and uses the peninsula to stage attacks on both Israel and Egypt.

We all know the AQ is very active in Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan (AQ is attempting a resurgence here too), Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and in the South Pacific so I'm not gonna talk about them.


tl;dr: Despite many politicians claims that al-Qaeda is beaten, or weakened, their claims are not necessarily true. While some cells of AQ are losing ground, like in Yemen or Somalia, another group is gaining ground. AQ is something that can be stopped (not even going to argue this. Yes, they can be beaten) but not without continual drone strikes, raids, funding to anti-AQ groups, etc.

If the USA intervenes now, they can influence the future new government to be pro-USA, and not a pro-extremist government.

Now THAT is an Islam i can respect. Although im not sure what you mean about Saudi Arabia and UAE though. They have the most stable Islamic governments in the Middle East
