Obama: “we Know That President Bashar Al-assad Protected Christians In Syria.”

[Bleipriester]

Very interesting! I am really surprised but still don´t know how to rate it!

US President Barack Obama surprised his visitors, the delegation of Eastern Christians patriarchs, on Thursday when he told them that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad “protected the Christians in Syria.” Obama met with the delegation in the White House for 35 minutes, during which the patriarchs presented a paper in which they exposed the situation of Christians in the Middle East and the threats and challenges they are facing, due in part to the expansion of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group.

Sources told Al-Akhbar that the highlight of the meeting was when Obama said the following phrase: “We know that President Bashar al-Assad protected Christians in Syria.”

Obama then used the term “the Syrian government” instead of “regime,” which is usually used by the US to describe the government in Syria.

The confused attendees could not believe what they heard. However, one of the guests addressed Obama and said: “Then you should stop talking about a moderate Syrian opposition.”

Obama spoke about the planned US airstrikes in Syria, claiming that they will help “facilitate the (Syrian) political process.”

The US president then reiterated his country’s “support for the Lebanese army,” explaining that the “weaponry the US gave to the Lebanese army is the best response to ISIS in Lebanon.”

[High_Gravity]

Well its true, what do you want him to say?

 

[dilloduck]

For him to blatantly admit the truth like that is a shocker---maybe he wants to follow up on that truth and act on it.

 

[High_Gravity]

The truth is maybe Assad is the best option for the Syrian people, although I doubt he will go that far with it.

 

[Katzndogz]

What obama hasn't said is the truth, protecting Christians is one of the reasons why Assad has to go.

 

[irosie91]

what is the point? Assad is better than ISIS? I knew that and so does
Obama-------they both stink----but ISIS is worse. This situation in the Islamic
world is nothing new-------Islamic governments always STINK---more or less.
People victimized by the filth are better off with those governments that stink less
relative to their particular situations.

There is no question------Bashar, is a BAATHIST DOG. I do understand that Baathist dogs CLAIM they are "non-sectarian" ------just as muslims claim that
"ISLAM HAS THE 'most toleration' " <<< I learned about the 'beauty of islam' ---
from persons born in countries outside of the usa----which accounts for the
somewhat quaint language usage>>>

Baathist dogs are arabist nationalists and ultimately islamicists------they
cannot shake it off. The "non sectarian" BS was probably thrown
in as a kiss up to communist ideology and to attract even non muslim
"arabs" remember M. Mehdi?---that greasy pig who was the forerunner
of CAIR? he knew the Baathist filth well and tried to promulgate
it here in the USA----I think he died about 20 years ago. Other Baathists
have included Nasser pig, and Sadaam pig ------It is possible that the famous
Nazi pig AL HUSSEINI was or was something like a Baathist. It is a kind
of Islamic socialist Nazism

(you might recall that sadaam was also a nonsectarian
lover of chaldeans)

I did not ask you for an abusive rant on Assad or Baathism. My question was if you still believe that the Syrian government is an Islamic government.

The constitution guarantees religious freedom for every recognized religious communities, including many Christian denominations. All schools are government-run and non-sectarian, although there is mandatory religious instruction, provided in Islam and/or Christianity. Political forms of Islam are not tolerated by the government.

UN: Assad Responsible for More Atrocities in Syria Than ISIS
Special UN panel says despite bloody Islamic State rampage the Syrian regime is still responsible for most war crimes in Syria.

Despite the high-profile and shocking nature of the so-called "Islamic State" and its push through Iraq and Syria, the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad is still responsible for the majority of war crimes being committed in that country, according to the author of a special UN report into the Syrian civil war.

With no end in sight to the three and a half year conflict, a special United Nations panel presented its findings Tuesday in a depressing 17-page report.

Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, who led the four-person panel, said he had "run out of words to depict the gravity of the crimes committed inside Syria."

He noted that the Islamic State, which recently beheaded three western hostages James Foley, Steven Sotloff and David Haines, has similarly subjected countless other Syrian civilians to similar public executions and brutal punishments.

The report is based on eyewitness testimonies from Syrians interviewed by the team, hailing from across the country.

Pinheiro also highlighted the mass-killings of prisoners of war - as occurred after IS's recent capture of Tabqa airbase in northern Syria - as well as of dissenters and political opponents.

Women are particularly vulnerable to abuse at the hands of the Islamist terror group, with several already being stoned to death based on accusations of adultery, or publicly flogged for minor offenses such as walking in the street without a male chaperone.

Nevertheless, Pinheiro pointed out that the regime of Bashar al-Assad "remains responsible for the majority of the civilian casualties, killing and maiming scores of civilians daily."

Civilians are being slaughtered at the hands of the regime in a variety of ways - from indiscriminate shelling, air raids and "barrel bombings", to shootings and summary executions at the hands of soldiers and pro-government militiamen.

Those captured or arrested by the regime were subjected to horrific torture and denied food or water for prolonged periods of time. Female prisoners were regularly raped or otherwise sexually abused.

Pinheiro said that the inaction on the part of major world powers to intervene - via the UN Security Council or otherwise - has helped fuel the conflict. It's most recently "beneficiary", he said, was the Islamic State - but the Syrian government has been able to escape justice for its massacres for longer still.

We have a thread with that topic already and you know it. You just want to provoke. The strange IS spokeswoman provided us at least with the name of the puppet, that spreads its lies into the medias. The puppet's source is the internet where the crimes of the terrorist groups are proudly presented by themselves, whereas the alleged crimes of the Syrian gov't the puppet talks about are totally fabricated.

assad is a "DICTATOR" Just about every Islamic cesspit includes "freedom

Well, the "recognized religion thing" is quite normal. We have that in Germany, too.
Oh, yes, Bashar Assad is Muslim, but he is a very liberal one (his wife does not even wear head scarves), but the only office in Syria that requires its holder to be Muslim is the office of the President. Isn´t the Israeli President a Jew? However, it cannot be that bad to be a Syrian Christian.

Priester----as usual ---you said nothing. As for being a Christian in Syria----I have never been one-------I have known lots of Christians and some jews from Syria------most PRE ASSAD---but some Christians during assad--------they say it sucks. What does the fact the president of Israel is a jew have to do with anything at all? As far as I know there is no law demanding that
he be a jew. Why would Syria have a LAW demanding that the president be a muslim if the
country is SECULAR? The pig is BAATHIST------the Islamic form of Nazi socialist-----
as ----IMPERIALIST ARABISM like your heros al husseini, gamal abdel Nasser, Sadaam Hussein --------etc Imperialist Arabism is simply another name for ARAB CALIPHATISM---

This is a christian voice on a syria christian site. Time you start listening to those who want freedom and an end to Assad authoritarianism

 

[aris2chat]

Christians less afraid of change and wanted an end to the oppression of the Assad regime stand up in protest not for religion or any particular party, but for Syria, and they die for what they believe, the protection of the syrian people against the authoritarian regime.
