Guys - I agree there is no excuse for him to come out and insult BH, Arti, Flint...... and teh Admin had every right to ban him....
however.......I don't think anyone on ISP has yet to answer his simple question: Why should we support the Islamists fighting Assad? You can be as polite as you can be and you'd be correct to criticize his insults and attitude.....but on the issue of Assad he is absolutely correct........in the hate for Assad and IR many are siding with ISlamists......!! grave grave mistake.
The question has been answered at least a dozen times in this thread and it was answered almost as many times in the thread that he opened. He just doesn't have the level of comprehension to understand the answer and gets frustrated and starts swearing. No one here, and I repeat NO ONE, is siding with "Islamists"
in Syria. The only people who directly support Islamists here are "the 4Payan Gang" who support the IR, Hamas and Hezbollah - they just don't like the particular Islamists in Syria because they're jeopardizing the position of the other 3.
Other than that gang, you and China are the only ones indirectly supporting Islamism by supporting Assad. You just don't realize that in the process of hating a specific Islamic group, you're supporting 3 equally brutal and ruthless Islamic Groups, much more organized and powerful, and one of which is directly ruling your country doing much worse than what you see in these videos to your own hamvatans.
The rest of us understand the importance of Hamas, Hezbollah and Assad not only to IR's foreign policy, but their entire ideological belief system. Cutting off Assad, would cut-off the other 2 organizations and be the equivalent of chopping one of IR's limbs, not just in terms of foreign policy, but more importantly how they conduct themselves domestically. Remember that they said the 2009 protests were instigated by agents of the West (exact same line used by Assad)? And that the Egyptian, Tunisian and the Yemenis uprisings were muslim awakening in the face of western imperialism? So just put 2 and 2 together and imagine how they're going to pull themselves out of this mess.
All that aside, most people here, yourself included, support the right of a people to a free society and a democratically elected government. You don't support governments turning their guns on their citizens during peaceful demonstrations do you? Heck, you're arguing about losing your civil liberties in the other thread in such a small and insignificant manner (relatively speaking), but you go on to support a ruthless dictator, just because some Islamists are also fighting him? Does your hatred for a certain group redefine your entire belief system and bends and breaks all your principles? I hope not.
This thread is, and always was, about the fall of Assad and what it means to Iran. It's very unfortunate that Islamists have gained so much power in Syria. It's sad to see what Syria has turned into and to see the people's suffering on such a major scale. That's the last 2 years of Assad's rule for you. Another 2 years and it will be even worse than what it is now with Islamists gaining even more power. The only way to start reversing the Islamist gains in Syria is to stop the chaos, put a legitimate government in place and start stabilizing the situation. Hopefully that will come through a negotiated peace process, but if not Assad simply does not have the legitimacy to continue and this conflict needs to end as soon as possible.
You see Massi, most of us here are concerned about stopping 4 Islamist groups, whereas you and China and IR supporters are only concerned about one! I hope that answer is clear enough this time.
