http://www.hudson-ny.org/2562/syria-fundamentalistsFor many Syrians, the only choice today is between a murderous secular regime led by Assad and Muslim fundamentalists seeking to turn their country into an Islamic state. Assad's brutal crackdown on his opponents, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 3,000 Syrians, as well as his failure to implement major political reforms, is driving more people into the open arms of the Islamists.i have been told that during irans revolution, the fact the Khommeni was an islamist was "unexpected"....well now we have an uprising in syria with the islamists making their move, anybody surprised?
warning: the writer appears to be a liberal, concerned with freedom and civil rights more than anything else....
and one might note, that i have not put forth an opinion here....
