kurtis Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I don't know about that... Seems like they're all playing a game until someone gains power. Look no further to post Gadafii Libya... well said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in Libya there are people who genuinely want positive change. A lot of these views that the only alternatives are islamic militants or dictators are coming across as pretty racist.

Hugor Hill Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Not sure why you're referring to the rebels as one homogenous group. There are moderate rebels who genuinely want positive change. I'm not sure where this notion that supporting "rebels" means supporting ISIS. Yes, ISIS is one type of rebel, but there are plenty of good guys in there too. Yes. This Vice News video documents these good guys pretty well. The rebels they follow here are fairly moderate guys who want neither the Assad regime or ISIS in charge. Skip to 13:05 to hear a rebel's rant. It is very level headed. And go to 4:55 for some moderate Muslim humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Saddam, Gadaffi they were all level headed in the beginning until absolute power made them corrupt and twisted.. They're just playing nice to gain support from the general populace. History suggests there aren't many revolutionaries that live up to their promises. I mean I could be wrong... but I doubt drastic changes would occur..

He was a Muslim and was trying heavily to convert his co-workers before he got fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
