Yes i do mean that.. Syria is a red herring in a larger scheme of things. You need to step back look at the whole picture… Rather than focus on ithe one issue.

Israel attacks show Syria’s conflict becoming a regional proxy war

*By Fawas Gerges6:10PM BST 05 May 2013

The Israeli launch of two air strikes on Syria last week presents a marked and dangerous escalation of their involvement in the Syrian war.

Israel’s intervention also shows how the conflict has mutated from a political uprising to an internal armed struggle, and now to a regional war by proxy fiercely fought in Syria.

The Syrian struggle has not only spread into Syria’s neighbours, like Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey – but has also become a battlefield wherein Israel and Iran are challenging each other.

There is a real danger that this complex conflict in Syria could escalate into a battle involving Syria’s major allies – Iran and Hizbollah, and Israel, other regional powers, and the Western states.

Israel’s deepening involvement in the conflict also changes the dynamics of the political struggle in Syria in two ways. It puts the armed opposition on the defensive, because it shows them that they and Israel are indirectly battling the same enemy – the Assad regime. And it reinforces President Assad’s dominant narrative: that the struggle in Syria is not internal, that this is not about a domestic coalition striving to replace authoritarianism with democracy – but rather this is a wider conspiracy spearheaded by Israel and its regional allies and Western powers.*

If everyone else can see through this, im not sure why you choose to keep your blinkers on..

Killing - the blood of innocent civilians - the single drop of a believer - should be more sacred to us (because to Allah (SWT) these are more sacred than the Holiest cities) than political clashes - especially those that are not resulting in the same blood spill …

I’m not saying that the Israel vs Iran situation is not there … I agree with you it may be there … But at least don’t call the killing of 60, 000 people - mostly Muslims as a red-herring … that is insulting and inhumane.

By the way - you still have not provided me with the hadith … I’m still waiting.
