READER COMMENTS

The democratic government grants its people their full freedom and tries to absorb the public anger through compensating them and offering everything that may contribute to their rest, rather than fighting and attacking, or even killing or torturing them. Otherwise, this would be an extremely brutal, criminal and dictatorial approach, but this is absolutely rejected. No human being agrees to live under oppression or at the mercy of hunger, poverty, corruption, unemployment, backwardness and disease. The Syrian government must also perform its duties and do its best to preserve the trust rather than stealing it. However, it did not protect the trust, and the whole government must be brought to justice to be held accountable. After that, we should elect a better government that will provide services to the poor simple Syrians, instead of oppressing and suppressing them.

All the Western politicians and leaders, the Russians and some Arab affiliates are warning against the armament of the opposition in order not to deteriorate things further. In fact, the situation could not be worse. We are already witnessing great numbers of refugees, dead people, detainees, missing persons and cruel acts that are difficult to describe. We are witnessing real destruction while they warn against the deterioration of things into a civil war. In fact, the civil war is being waged by one armed party. The latter is suppressing rebels through tyranny and bandits. They are warning against the armament of rebels. I would call on the rebels to do whatever they want. We would be happy with any help. Those who want to abuse you should not get any opportunity. You are eligible to decide everything.

The Free Army, Syrians and whoever can bear arms and defend himself and his honor must be armed given these bastards from the snipers and traitor army are unprecedented in history. In fact, it has never been remembered that the army has coldly murdered its innocent people namely children, women and the elderly. I wonder why all this black hatred against this unarmed people. I also wonder why this suspicious silence from all the governments in the world. If rulers have not reacted, why don’t Arab Muslim people move? If caricatures have urged all Muslim people to move, why don’t they react for the murder of these Muslims and destroy mosques and burn the Quran?

The demonstrations and the voices of protests have been calling for reform and real change in a peaceful manner for a considerable period. However, the brutal gangs of the regime have never treated people as citizens who are eligible to enjoy their rights. In fact, the president treated them as “hired workers” and even slaves on the farm that he had inherited from his father, who was a criminal founder... He has considered them enemies and treated them harshly and brutally, and in a repressive, retaliatory way that others would not dare to do with their enemies. And, despite all the cruelty and tyranny pursued by the regime against the free and honest citizens of this nation, the demands of the young revolutionaries at first were rather limited to some real reforms, the liberation of the citizens from slavery, and treating people as humans, in a civilized and peaceful way.

This morning, Douma witnessed a qualitative operation by the Free Army. The latter tricked the official army and the security forces to the Jura neighborhood and managed to murder the passengers in an armored car and destroy a tank of the forces that tried to raid the neighborhood. In addition, the Free Army members have attacked the Masraba barrier, leading to the death of two officers and seven soldiers. Elements of the Free Army had evacuated the Jura Street of shops and citizens and they fired live bullets, enabling the security members to have access.

We are not surprised by the reactions of the West, given that their fiery declarations about Bashar Assad and his regime never tempt us as revolutionaries. In fact, they are blessing his massacres. They have kept silent during one year of murder, rape, detention, torture and displacement. This does not matter. Our people are continuing on their way and will get their freedom and dignity, in spite of everyone who hates that. We have relied on the Almighty God, the Lord of the heavens and the earth! I wonder what you want that is greater than this helper. The presence of killers on their occasions will be recorded as black spots in the pages of the West’s history. They will be a sign for blessing and taking part with Bashar Assad in his massacres. This is the role which they have assigned to him.

All of Syria will not tolerate the people of Damascus for their weakness. We are being killed and Damascenes are boasting of the system. God will not forgive a nation which did not defend the oppressed and stand against the oppressors. Homs rose in support of Hama and Daraa while Damascus is blessed with money that came from the system. Even the cities of Alawites like Tartous and Ladhiqiyah revolted and the province of Suwayda and Druze have all gone out, but Damascenes refuse to do the same for fear of losing their trading opportunities. God would not bless someone who made money into his God. It is important to note that Homs, Dara’a, Idlib, Deir Al-Zour, Qamishli, Abu Kamal, and rural Damascus burned, and the people and children are killed. Their women were kidnapped and bombed with missiles. There are areas which contain no more than 18 million Syrian citizens repressed and oppressed, their human dignity violated on a daily basis. Also, they are demanding freedom and dignity while the rest of the helpless Syrian people, who could not break the complexity of horror and fear of the system, until now remain silent. Three percent of the Alawites have for 40 years been controlling the country and its wealth.
