Hmm, how much oil is there in Syria?
How much of the U.S. media is owned by Muslim countries?
The silence is deafening.

Even Assad and the russians are admitting there is a lot of violence in Syria. So how ignorant can you be?

This is the muslim way, it has been so for 1400 years. This is what their religion is built on, blood and death. They turn on eachother as quick as they turn on us. Did you notice when american toops started evacuating the region they went back to blowing eachother up? , i rest my case.

ATS members are more likely to support Assad and make ridiculous claims that it's all Israel's or the USA's faults and that Syria is nothing but sunshine and rainbows like Iran, North Korea, China and other oppressive dictator states.

dude what planet are you living on?
Assad is a dictator killing his people and they had enough. would you rather let your muslim brothers die like animals under a family who have been dictators for 60 years (assad and his father)? rather then admit its a country under a dictator who is killing his own people and they want freedom...
are you that ignorant?

It also holds a now-explosive sectarian mix, with a majority from the Sunni Muslim community - which has been the backbone of the uprising - and large communities of Alawites, the Shiite offshoot sect that has stood firmly by Assad, himself an Alawite. Some of Homs’ most hardcore opposition neighborhoods, such as Sunni-dominated Baba Amr and Khaldiyeh, lie next to Alawite districts, and revenge killings have broken out.
Sectarian tensions appear to be growing in Homs, adding a dangerous new element to the violence. Such a divide means an insurgency could escalate quickly. Many Syrians accuse Assad of exploiting that divide by unleashing Alawite gunmen known as “shabiha” who operate as hired muscle for the regime. The government also blames the bloodshed on armed gangs and extremists acting out a foreign plot to destabilize Syria. “The regime created this problem between Sunni Muslims and the Alawites. That’s why they are giving weapons to Alawites,” said 30-year-old Abu Adnan, whose cousin was killed in Homs in recent days.
At least two thirds of Syria’s population are Sunni Arabs, yet the country is ruled by an authoritarian regime dominated by Allawites — a syncretic offshoot of Shi’ism that comprises some 12% of the population.
But the Assad regime presents itself as the guarantor of the interests not only of Allawites, but also Syria’s Christians (10%), Kurds (10%) and smaller communities of Druze, Yazidis, Ismailis and Circassians — against the specter of a vengeful sectarian Sunni Muslim Brotherhood. No surprise, then, that the regime has, through its own violent strategy, encouraged the rebellion against Assad’s rule onto the path of sectarian civil war.
For the Allawites, there’s a portent of their own prospects in the fate of Iraq’s Sunnis — a minority community that had been the foundation and prime beneficiary of Saddam Hussein’s authoritarian Ba’athist regime. Even in the best-case outcome, a democratic Syria would sweep Allawite elites out of their dominant position in the security forces and the state; more likely, in their minds, is the sort of violent retribution suffered by Iraq’s Sunni communities at the hands of the long suffering Shiites.

It is just how your media wants you to think.
you are not there fro yourself gathering information.
+ You are not much informed about facts in ME.
So , they just twist the facts and feed you with their agendas.
I know people have been killed.
But I also have seen people in masses supporting Asad.
IMO , it is like Iranian post-election incident.
Some say , it will settle.
But those who were played are not going to be happy.
