re: #5 Destro

Bullshit. Assad is as secular dictatorship like Saddam’s was. Just because you don’t like the regime does not mean you have to deny reality.

I’m glad you’re now acknowledging at least that it’s a dictatorship (though that’s actually pretty inaccurate, Assad not being the sole power-holder, but closer) rather than socialist. But as to being secular, can you explain why a secular country requires all laws to be based in Islamic jurisprudence? In what way is that secular?
