Re: Key Syria town of al-Qusayr falls to government troops
@
zhohaq..
Excellent post. This Geo-Political game being played in that part of the world is extremely dangerous.
Syrian Army with Hezbollah fighters will completely put a
Major rift b/w Shia/Sunni countries. No one would trust each other and there will be
no easy compromises in the future.
I do believe that the beneficiaries of this conflict would be the West & Israel. We as a muslims have done a good job killing each other. Many innocent have died including women & children.
They have sowed the seed of hatred among us muslims.
I firmly beleive Asad's army and Syrian freedom fighter's both have committed atrocities. No one can play the card of sainthood. There are ton's of video's which proves it. But my point is would there ever be a
reconciliation between Shia/Sunni's. Take an example of Pakistan, Shia's/Sunnis are getting killed and
Iran/Saudia both are involve in this. Take Iraq, again same thing,
Iran and Saudia is involve in fanning the Sectarianism there. I have Iraqi friends who have told me horror stories.
I my self is from Shia school of thought. But I wonder even if we beleive in " La illaha illah-Mauhammaad Rasullah" why do we have to get this low to wipe the other out.
We as a muslim is doing dis-service to Islam.
Our muslim leaders would go to any lengths to stay at the realm's of their countries. At some places we have
Kingdom and at other's we have dictatorship. I pray to
Allah he guide and help us..otherwise are a
doomed nation.
Thanks for your post bro,
I think you have correctly pointed out trends which should be very worrying for anyone in the Muslim world.
One thing that should be understood is that this is all cold Realpolitik & geopolitics , to further these aims unfortunately sectarian discourse has been employed by various actors quite successfully. Hypocrisy is not hard to find on either side as the basis of this narrative is false.
I personally find half of this sectarian discourse ridiculous, essentially people have decided to destroy countries kill thousands today based on a 1000 year old Arab tribal conflict.I dont think Allah will reward this stupidity in the after life.
I sincerely share your fear that this wave will crash on our shores soon. We should try our best to insulate our country from this trend, for this we have to invest in national vision, and at same time limit role played by foreign hegemonic powers be it Iran or Saudi and then the powers behind even these regional powers Russia and USA etc.
Already the damage done from the earlier wave that stated in 80's hasnt run its course, but thankfully has not penetrated in a big way mainstream society. I am afraid this time around we may not be that lucky.
In Iraq and then Syria once concept of nationhood was destroyed it was easy for outside powers to destroy the country. If you look into this Neocon war planners were aware of this and advocated this approach in numerous scholarly works since the 80's. Each country easily degenerated in smaller forces that were willing to play proxies. Unthinkable crimes were done against each other, and there is no sign this will stop as hatred and violence breed more of it.
Every group thinks its fighting for survival, everyone else is looked upon with Paranoia.
In Syria a struggle for rights against a dictator whether by design or by happen stance was turned into a full blown proxy war. Maybe Assad was learnt the lesson from the fate of Saddam and Qaddhafi . He knew his rule like his father was always illegitimate, so he had to create a new narrative, which was for the most part self-fulfilling.
Now this conflict will not be decided on Syrian soil but in Washington, Kremlin, Ankara, Tehran, Beirut and Riyadh. Friends and enemies in the context are the same. The decision has been made since an year or so that the option that will make all these foreign interest happy would be a Syria destroyed economically and militarily but still firmly in the grips of Assad.
What ever the result of Syrian civil war and the Iraqi civil the damage it has will last generations.
Such deep wounds will not heal easily.
