    It's an alien culture. It's just not familiar at all to most westerners, for example. I often meet self-proclaimed agnostics and atheists online and they typically know something of the structure of Christianity and it's basic tenets. That's probably because our culture is steeped in Christianity and most of us have a Christian background regardless of whether or not we believe. When it comes to Islam that easy familiarity simply isn't there.

    That's a good point. I don't even have a basic foundation upon which to build more knowledge.

    Sadly, Islam is thrust into our consciousness in ways that make it unappealing to say the least.

    AP – 34 mins ago.....
    BEIRUT (AP) — Tanks took over a main square in the besieged Syrian city of Hama and electricity and telephone phone lines were cut off Wednesday as President Bashar Assad's regime showed no signs of halting the intense military assault against an uprising now in its fifth month, activists said.

    Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday met with U.S.-based Syrian democracy activists as the Obama administration weighed new sanctions on Syria. Congressional calls also mounted for action against Assad's regime.

    About 1,700 civilians have been killed since the largely peaceful protests against Assad's regime began in mid- March, according to tallies by activists.





    Thus the Syrians are not playing with these Arabs..... :-\

    I can't help but wonder how this situation is going to end. It's been smoldering for months now, it seems like even with the acts of violence the protesters are not giving up. It will probably get bloodier. :-\

    Should there be that much emphasis placed upon this uprising by the Sunni over that of any other Arab countries where we see these uprisings? Should the Syrian government make concesions to the Sunni when they are not the majority of the population in Syria? The Sunni make no Concessions for any Shia. So wouldn't it be prudent to let the Syrians do whatever it wants to any other Sunni Government or Country if they try to meddle into Syrian affairs. It's not like Assad is trying to keep them there.

    Who/what is it that is placing such emphasis on the uprising? Do you feel that the U.S. is overstepping its bounds with threats of sanctions and other actions against Assad? I would agree that we should not be involved.

    Yes.....I think the US is getting involved. If you look at my first post I think Mullens told the iraqis we are not getting involved. Then Clinton meets with Ex-Patriots??? What Syrian ex patriots that no ones has heard from for almost 30 yrs?

    Plus the Obama did say on World-Wide television that Assad holds no more legitmacy. What does a US President making such a statement without involvement say to the UN Security Council and the UN? Plus Obama did not say IF Syria becomes democract. He Said WHEN!!!!!

    :-(

    One would have hoped he'd learned his lesson with Libya. He needs to STFU. It's almost as if he's a neocon.
