JFKvsNixon Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yep. They were trained and equipped by their own people - sure these people should do the same instead of running away. Isn't part of the problem that their own people, i.e. their own government are also attacking them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomgeg Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Oh, I think I get it now, you can only be xenophobic if you're English . But isn't it a bit xenophobic to accuse an English person of xenophobia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrea Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Isn't part of the problem that their own people, i.e. their own government are also attacking them? You mean defending Syrian citizens from a rebel force that tried to overthrow the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have I suggested that you can only be xenophobic if your English? Thanks for making me laugh though with your suggestion that it's xenophobic to accuse an English person of Xenophobia!!!!

Their own people re certainly the problem. Some of our people in WW2 were Fascists. We had fifth columnists then. We had (and still have) communist sympathisers in the cold war. We have pro muslim agressionists here in the UK now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 You mean defending Syrian citizens from a rebel force that tried to overthrow the government. OK, a very brief summery of my understanding of the situation in Syria. Assad brutally mistreats his citizens, they rebel. The rebels sprinter off into different organisations, one of which becomes Isis. So you have citizens caught in between a three way battle between the oppressive Isis, Assad and the allied backed rebels. ---------- Post added 07-09-2015 at 20:09 ---------- Their own people re certainly the problem.

Some of our people may have sided with the enemy, but our government never turned against the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Do you think they should stay behind in their own country and fight to oppose factions like ISis who are imposing barbaric religious laws etc. on people? A lot of people seem keen to volunteer others for almost certain death. Perhaps these QUERTY warriors should pop over to Syria and show 'em how it's done? Remember Syrian refugees, we're right behind you. About 1900 miles behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Syrians Support Bashar al Assad http://www.globalresearch.ca/why-syrians-support-bashar-al-assad/5405208 Syria is probably not unlike the UK, we have a government that some people believe mistreats its citizens, do you think they would be justified in violently attacking the government and its supporters.
