International Aim is not to Bring Peace to Syria

The war in Syria is unprecedented for many reasons. Fighters from 70 of the 196 countries in the world are fighting in Syria. More than two thirds of the world are taking advantage of the unrest in the Syria to fight. Some fight because they believe the Syrian government must be changed, but most are fighting because they believe it is their religious obligation to kill Shia Muslims. The conflict in Syria has become an opportunity for those who have wanted to kill Shia Muslims but, until now, had no way of reaching them.

 

According to telegraph news the number of international fighters has doubled in Syria. Now the number of confirmed foreign fighters has surpassed 11,000. The study did not specify whether this number included women who are fighting, either directly using weapons or by providing emotional support and sexual services to fighters. 

 

If the fight was only about freeing the country from the current government, then why are cities that are populated by Shia Muslims, but unimportant strategically and militarily, (e.g. Nebel and Al-Zahraa) under constant siege? Why are Shia families the only ones being slaughtered? Why are Shia historical shrines being destroyed? Shia Muslims who are being killed in Syria have no ties to the government; many of them are not even Alawite as the government, President Assad’s branch of Islam. During the past decades while the Assad family ruled Syria, the government was not recognized as Shia, but secular. However, now that the chaos of civil war has created the opportunity to partake in ethnic violence, Assad’s government is classified as Shia to justify the targeted killing of Shia Muslims

 

It seems as though the international committee is willing to fight to last drop of blood not to let peace reach Syria. SRW hopes the world’s leaders who are to meet next month in order to find a solution to the war in Syria leave their political and religious disagreements aside and keep in mind the millions of Syrians who depend on them to return them to their homes.
