Re: Syria Houla tragedy
I saw the video which is really disturbing especially for those who own weak heart. All shown live on TV.
Bashaar, the current President, is followers of ‘Alawite’. The Alawites, known by many names i.e. Alawi, Nusayris, Ansaris etc., are think they can communion with a supreme being and that supreme being could be any god (a prominent mystical religious group centred in Syria).
The origin of the Alawis is disputed. Some says ‘the alawite’ follow a branch of the Twelver school of Shia Islam some other says the Alawis themselves trace their origins to the followers of the eleventh Imām, Hassan al-'Askarī , and his pupil ibn Nuṣayr.
In short it a another cult which spreaded hartress among suni & shia.
In 1939 a portion of northwest Syria, the Sanjak of Alexandretta, now Hatay, that contained a large number of Alawis, was given to Turkey by the French following a plebiscite carried out in the province under the guidance of League of Nations which favored joining Turkey. However, this development greatly angered the Alawi community and Syrians in general. In 1938, the Turkish military had gone into Alexandretta and expelled most of its Arab and Armenian inhabitants.In order to avoid confusion with Alevis, they prefer the self-appellation Arap Alevileri (“Arab Alevis”) in Turkish.
Since 1948 there is no peace in Palestine and Lebanon. In 2001, after attacks on WTC, Afghanistan was invaded in 2002, than Iraq invaded in 2003, Than 2006 Lebanon. Egypt signed a deal with Israel during 1979 in Washington, Jordan’s king signed a deal with Israel during 1994 and KSA also. All were the supporters of USA’s decision in return USA will give protection to them. That is why when first time Israeli occupied Palestine none came front and supported Palestine. Syria and Iran are left which needed by Israel to be invaded. But by war it is not possible so they lighted the war inside their own community as ‘suni & shia’ war.
