Syria is the Last Secular Country in the Region
Secular doesn't mean anti-religion, which is what radicals try to interpret it to. Secular means you worship whatever you want and let others worship whoever they want.
The land from where the 3 divinely religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam spread to the whole world, is also the land where secularism is the identity of the country.
Just pay a bit of attention to this spontaneous photo taken during the funeral of martyred Major General Issam Zahreddine in Suweida, south of Syria
The martyr's mother (Druze), Grand Mufti of Syria (mainstream Muslim), Druze Sheikh, Syrian Arab Army woman General and Orthodox Bishop Luka.
Not the first of its kind.
In the above photo, Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad in the center surrounded by clerics of all faiths and all sects.
The Syrian Arab Army has the full support of the Syrian people, the conscripts of the army are those young men from all sides of Syria. Volunteers in the Syrian Arab Army are alike with a good number of women from all over the country reaching higher ranks in the army.
Syrian women are pioneers in politics, science, economy, social and charitable. Zanobia ruled the Palmyra Kingdom during the Romans times centuries ago.
Turkey in the north of Syria is being radicalized towards the anti-Islamic Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood doctrine, sponsored by NATO member states USA and UK. http://www.syrianews.cc/encyclopedia/erdoganstan/
Israel in the southwest of the country is aspiring to become a 'Jewish State' on stolen land.
Jordan, south of Syria, is a lost in between fiefdom that will follow whatever Saudi instruct.
Iraq in the east is already in the process of being split: Kurdish, 'Sunni' and 'Shia' states...!
The last to be divided so 'creative chaos' can be sowed as per the plans of the neo-con Zionists in the US is Syria, thus the destruction using tens of thousands of imported radicalized brainwashed anti-Islamic Wahhabi (http://www.syrianews.cc/encyclopedia/wahhabism/) Sex Jihadists (http://www.syrianews.cc/encyclopedia/sex-jihad/) to destroy the country and kill its people into subjugation.
