@psyah

For one thing Assad (a minority Alawite) is inflicting harm on people of the state that he had control over ... They are not his people and he is not leniently dealing with them as though they are his people ...

So how is that different to the Bahrani Sunni leaders who oppress their Shia population?

Too many red herrings here.

Bahrain doesn't have anything to do with Syria. The level of atrocities perpetuated by this Assad regime is unparalleled for the Arab Spring. At the very least the Assad regime has to go -- the longer it stays in power the more extremists will join the war and gain greater power. When (not if) the Assad Regime falters and attempts to evacuate to the rump state of Latakia, Syria's multisectarian social fabric will have completely disintegrated.

This is a war between Iran and KSA, everyone else is a proxy.

and you came to this conclusion how? minorities are not always masoom as they cry to be. outside hands are always at play and in bahrain's case Iran.

Re: Iranians are fighting in Syria

Im not defending Assad but just trying to understand so I'll ask again.

What did Assad do to his own population prior to the Arab spring which was much worse compared to what the leaders of Saudi, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan etc did to their populace?

I think this is a war of KSA and Israel against Iran.
Sehooni and Saoodi are hand in hand. Even their names are similar.

Seriously, saudis and bahrain is comparable to syria? At least, compare it to Jordan even though Black September was in 1970 and recently , no one has come close to assad in the arab world. Egyptian military might be a runner up against MB but they have yet to gas anyone.

Re: Iranians are fighting in Syria

I am well aware of the recent events during the civil war but I've asked for his record before the civil war started. He allegedly used chemical weapons to defeat the rebels but did he commit atrocities like that before. The Bahraini uprising was quashed by the help of Saudi forces, so had Assad had the ability to quell the uprising as quickly as Bahrain and Saudi did would he not have been such a monster?

Re: Iranians are fighting in Syria

Who cares about the pre - Assad now? It is writing a biography on Pol Pot's childhood ! He and his wife were considered suave and sophisticated and even appeared in Vogue which I don't think happens for the saudi monarchy.

One thing that this war has bared is the sectarian nature of the iranian regime and its supporters. For all the drama being the all good resistance against israel and the US, let us also not forget that he didn't bat any eyelid when suspects were renditioned to be tortured in Syria. I thought only american zionist puppets follow such orders?

You clearly are defending him. My question is not what he did before the Arab Spring, but rather after that is the point of discussion. He used chemical weapons against the Syrian civilians, his government support militias and armed forces butchered hundreds of thousands of civilians.

I have no love for the Saudis, but how is Israel supporting the Syrian rebels/against Assad? It seems like they are pretty happy seeing Syria in turmoil with Muslims killing each other. I agree that they want to take down Iran.

Re: Iranians are fighting in Syria

I don't believe nobody has given an answer to such a simple question. Its important to know what he did prior to the war because those actions would have been the cause of the war.
So what did he do which prompted thousands of people to take up arms and go to war especially the foreigin fighters?

@hareem01

A friend who works for Al-Jazeera told us this too few weeks ago.

video is in the link.

BBC News - Footage emerges of ‘Iranians fighting in Syria’

Video footage has emerged that appears to show Iranian nationals dressed in military clothing operating inside Syria and apparently working with government forces.
It comes as Russian and US foreign ministers prepare to hold talks in Geneva to discuss to dismantling Syria’s chemical arsenal.

This was known previously in middle eastern countries as it was shown on arabic tv

It is no diferent, both govts should go, however the butchery shown by Assad is unparalled, the quicker this butcher is thrown out the better. Both have one thing in common, both the Bahrani and Syrian regime are dictatorial and illegal and both have butchered people to save their own tyranny. One is supported by another dictatorship i.e. Saudi and the other the by the intolerant mullahs of Iran.

Are you for real being true to the stereotypes of sardards in jokes?

He imprisoned and even killed some kid who was protesting near the capital which sparked the movement against him. Him being part of a dictatorship that has set there for decades while democracy was sweeping in some arab countries didn’t help matters either.

I really don’t think it is wise to perpetuate stereotypes, be they Muslim or Sikhs but my brother you have your own moral compass to guide you. You haven’t really answered my question, you cited an innocent protestor being killed but that is the same in other Arab countries so no difference there. So why aren’t foreign fighters making their way to wage war against the house of Saud or the Bahrainis is it simply because they are Sunnis and not Alawite ir Shia?

Re: Iranians are fighting in Syria

It is clear this war is mostly sectarian yet some people claim it to be a just jihad. To wage war upon someone just because they have different beliefs to you is not at all gods work, it maybe the devils.

America is taking so much interest there. Had there been no Russia, it would have already invaded Syria.
The reason is not to safeguard American interests but those of Israel. Otherwise America has no issues with Syria at all.

It is not just Iran that is the main actor. It is also Israel, America, Suadis, and Russia. So why mention Iran alone in case of Syria?
And why would you call Iranian mullahs intolerant? Even if they support Syria, it is not because of sectarian reasons but because of political reasons (Israel).
Saudi dictators, on the other hand, supported Bahraini dictators purely on the basis of sectarian hatred.

You also say that Assad is a butcher. Well, look at the other side and tell me if they are NOT butchers as well. Actually, they are worse. Assad did not inflict any kind of massacre until the time that rebels were supported by sectarian dictators from KSA and Qatar. Even then, whatever he did was for political reasons. Qaeda rebels, on the other hand, have promised massacre of people for the sake of their religion.
So tell me again why are hoping for victory of those cannibals, and rejoicing at the prospect of killing of innocent people just because of their beliefs?
