Sorry, the Syrian "freedom fighters" ARE terrorists. They are only "freedom fighters" for the US Media.

Assad is not that good himself, but the "freedom fighters" are just a bunch of muslim fundamendalists that have slaughtered innocent people and have little popular support.

The Syria situation is not like Egypt or Turkey.

"During his time in Syria throughout much of 2012, videographer Robert King followed Aleppo's Al-Tawhid Brigade as he dodged bullets and rocket fire to learn more about the largest brigade of the Free Syrian Army. Somehow Robert managed to track down Haji-Mara, the Al-Tawhid Brigade's commander, for a rare interview, during which the former-businessman-turned-freedom-fighte­r espouses the many difficulties the rebels face against the alleged brutality of President Bashar al-Assad's regime."

Yes, one sided propaganda. What about it? In Europe people have followed the story decades before Robert Kind even heard of Syria, and know both sides and their backgrounds and goals.

I hadn't seen that series, brave journo.

What, their being a terrorist or not is conditional on how many times a day they pray?

[coldtea]

No, it's conditional in whether they have popular support and/or represent a change for the better, or are just thugs that want to enforce a Taliban style rule.
