Title says it all, how was Syria before the the war over there?
Thing is, I am living in Germany, and I have several people in my class (vocational school for IT-Engineers) who are from Syria. They are decent people, no extremists spotted so far. Before I ask them personally and risk being na cunt that asks stupßid questions, I ask you.
amazing. it was the hub for learning arabic. 1001 nights is actually syrian. The people are generally fair skinned and fair eyed. it was amazing.
the ONLY reason why syria is in war rn is because CIA/Mossad spread propaganda that they are not free. Assad didnt even want to lead, he wanted to be a doctor but his dad unexpected died so the people WANTED him to lead. USA poisoned minds of the youth by teaching them "this is dictatorship! rebel!" and started arming terrorists like al-zenki.
Syria is a rich country and has a lot of oil underneath it. USA profits off instability in middle east.

>USA profits off instability in middle east. how
Jayden Sanchez
i went there before the war and it was good , bashar pictures everywhere ofcourse , but other than that i didnt see opression
Dylan Moore
what happens here? are they an epic anarchist community?
I am not looking for fooling anyone, I just want to avoid inconvenient silence.
Easton Wright
Petrodollar and military industrial complex.
It's geopolitics 101 user.
Isaac Sullivan
I am not even talking about opression, everyday life is what I want to know, especially from Syrian people. Was it a kinda normal place or were they behaving like religious savages, how about alcohol, women, fun? Stuff like this.
Thats what I want to know. I do not really care about geopolitical stuff.
Isaac Cox
What I want to know
What I do not care about (geopolitical stuff)
Sebastian King
>he doesn't know how the US is built on the misery of other nations Yikes
Jonathan Perez
USA profits off of countries being unstable because then they're weak. weak countries are easy to take advantage of. Its why we hate russia, nk, china, Iran, and now syria. Its why we hated gaddafi and saddam. they werent puppets and hence had to go. every other country is basically our bitch.
We like monarchs if they are our puppets. Why does our media always attack bashar and always portrayed saddam and gaddafi as so evil but never comments on Prince Salman?
watch some of assad's interviews with reporters on youtube. you will realize we(america and western countries) are very dishonest in covering syria.
I knew a kid who is a syrian refugee when i studied engineering. whenever id talk to him hed avoid convo because he was worried he'd be in trouble if he expressed support for Assad. But once we grew comfortable he told me almost everyone in syria wants assad to be their leader.
Grayson Russell
what are the U.S' profits? how much have they made? :)
Elijah Miller
no , it was much like lebanon , even now syrians arent religious savages , jordanians are but not syrians not sure about the alcohol tho
Levi Wilson
it has always been some sand shithole
Jayden Lopez
It's expected after what the savages did with their country. If Syria survives this war they'll become a much better society IMO.
Christian Roberts
>behaving like religious savages, how about alcohol, women, fun? it was kinda like jordan today. a semi-monarch but less jewish control. safe, and good place to live. not much poverty surprisingly but like every society it existed. it was also pretty safe.
Julian Ramirez
Why are Jordanians more well behaved than Syrians and Lebanese?
Evan Allen
it was far closer to jordan than lebanon, but better than both
Ayden Clark
>he told me almost everyone in syria wants assad to be their leader. Except for the ones who got their homes bombed by him and had to flee, right?
Samuel Williams
Untold trillions. Look into the defense contractors and oil companies that made a fucking killing off of the wars in the Middle East.
Jack Brown
found the urduni
David Torres
Except forNoones answering my question.
The role of the USA or whatever is not important here.
Isaiah Stewart
I'm Egyptian but its true, Jordanians are very well behaved people
Cooper Myers
>The people are generally fair skinned and fair eyed.
Kevin Johnson
i was saying you are more likely to find religious extremists in jordan than in syria didnt mean it as an insult , just an observation
Josiah Morris
>religious >extremists No such thing. Being very religious means you are good person and I someday wish to rid myself of the agnosticism disease
Carter Robinson
Actual extremism or the what you mean I can't drink alcohol kind of extremism. Levantines are truly disgusting creatures
Jason Harris
based
Alexander Morgan
im talking about the guys like turduni and the jordanian refugee on canda who post here often , dont tel me you think they are the good guys >agnosticim just become a shia bro we will fix you up
Chase Walker
I don't know either of those posters and I thought you had to be born a shia?
Ethan Ward
OP here. I see, no reason to ask you, mostly no serious answers here. So be it.
Get fucked, cunts. Even Jow Forums would be a better source.
Landon Campbell
i meant supporting isis kind of extremism and seaze your racist language please
Jayden Cooper
no , its druze you are thinking off these two posters are isis shils
We're a nation of literal vampires who feed off the suffering of innocent third worlders. Didn't you know?
Zachary Garcia
A slightly more secular than average, still Islamic shithole. Like you would expect a pseudo-socialist dictatorship to look like. Poor as shit, basically no real opportunities beyond oil refining. Corruption out the wazoo. Favoritism to the coastals (Alawites). Education was merely adequate, but at least it wasn't terrible. If you were in on the system, you had it reasonably good (for a Syrian). If you didn't, you certainly didn't complain, or you disappeared.
Kayden Hernandez
>The people are generally fair skinned and fair eyed. it was amazing. third line and you're already talking about race
The defense contractors are just a handful of Americans profiting from the taxes of other Americans though. Doesn't the whole thing cost more than any oil they get?
Nolan Garcia
we belive that the prophet named imam ali to be the caliph after him and we belive in 12 imams the last imam is living among us and is waiting for allahs order to revolute , most shia cleriks belive that he will appear in our liftime
Nathan Wood
wew
Brody Wilson
>it was the hub for learning arabic. 1001 nights is actually syrian Sounds good >The people are generally fair skinned and fair eyed Okay sounds like bullshit >Assad didnt even want to lead, he wanted to be a doctor but his dad unexpected died so the people WANTED him to lead Just stop
Samuel Ward
no he is right , assads brother was prepared to lead the country , but he died in an ''''accident''' they called in bashar from britain to lead
Elijah White
Retard
Samuel Thomas
For the tax payer? Sure. For the elite? its not their money lmao, and they can justify their billionare weapons contracts
Jeremiah Miller
The last part about the mahdi is cringe, but what about your beliefs actually differ in practices and worldview? Do you drink?
Dylan Morgan
The people didn't WANT bashar, as if they even had a choice, it was the decision of his father, who's ruled the county for 30 years, since the other brothers were such fuck ups
Noah Lee
no we do the same practies as sunnis , but some minor differences , you dont need witnesses or a sheik to get married . but yo do for divorse we have a bunch of duaa from th imams that we read
Camden Davis
nothing they have done is really that revolutionary, just some collective communes, still wish I could have been their with them when they took raqqa
Thomas Ortiz
OP here. This.
Few people her know how to make sense.
Bentley Cook
Seriously? Catholics and protestants have bigger differences if what you say is true
Dominic Cook
yes , we share like 80% of our practices
Lincoln Gonzalez
Don't you guys get tattoos?
Ryder Price
OP here, not gonna care anymore.
Juan Sanchez
some do , go ask a syrian refugee from your class
Wyatt Perry
go to the syria general in pol. it would obviously be biased but its very interesting and we have real syrians in the groups
Charles Lopez
I do not care anymore even.
Sieg Heil.
Samuel Reyes
>how about alcohol? Alcohol is all over Damascus, there are a few craft beer bars. Drinking in public is prohibited by law but you always have a paper bag to help you. From 13:40 youtube.com/watch?v=HGGfFr-o0ZM
