What did Reagan do when Assads father whacked the muslim brothelhood in Syria?

Quote:

The Hama massacre (Arabic: مجزرة حماة‎) occurred in 2 February 1982, when the Hafez Syrian Arab Army and the Defense Companies, under the orders of the country's president Hafez al-Assad, besieged the town of Hama for 27 days in order to quell an uprising by the Muslim Brotherhood against al-Assad's government.

[1][2] The massacre, carried out by the Syrian Army under commanding General Rifaat al-Assad, effectively ended the campaign begun in 1976 by Sunni Muslim groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, against the government.

According to Syrian media, anti-government rebels initiated the fighting, who "pounced on our comrades while sleeping in their homes and killed whomever they could kill of women and children, mutilating the bodies of the martyrs in the streets, driven, like mad dogs, by their black hatred." Security forces then "rose to confront these crimes" and "taught the murderers a lesson that has snuffed out their breath"

Syria wasn't a problem before Obama starting arming muslims to take on Assad.

Does anyone remember the Aussie doctor who went to Raqqa to join the Islamic state?

Quote:

He still loves ISIS': Australian doctor turned terrorist poster boy is 'very famous in the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa and has an English-speaking wife with a baby son'

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

As of September 2016, the number of Syrians in Saudi Arabia is estimated to be around 2.5 million,[2] [3] and consists mainly of temporary foreign workers.[4] According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' representative for the Persian Gulf region, Syrian nationals are referred to as "Arab brothers and sisters in distress".[1] Saudi Arabia does not consider Syrians as refugees. They are provided free access to education and healthcare, and allowed to take up jobs.

According to Wikipedia, Kuwait has 120,000. It has a population of 4 million.

You?

If you read the Wikipedia article on Saudi Arabia, it's not clear if those Syrians are refugees or were settled there beforehand. The exact number of Syrian refugees in Saudi Arabia is unknown.

The fact is that Arab countries aren't taking enough refugees.

The fact is they take them all. Between the Saudis and Lebs, that's almost half the population of Syria. The Turks have another few million.

The Middle East has taken most of the Syrian refugees. If you read the article, you know that.

Don't play FD's games, Augie. We can discuss the truth here, or play mindless rhetorical tricks. That's up to us.

Watching 4 Corners.

Just amazing stuff, and there are some here who ask why people want to get out of there.

Fight for your country, don't run away. Aren't you glad those cowardly french men and women built the resistance to help us in WW2 rather than running away? Did we we see mass exodus of the French?

Was any French City/Town/Village totally destroyed like Raqqa has been/is?

You're question was a joke ..yes?

There are some that were never rebuilt ... I'm astounded you asked that question. Roll Eyes

According to Karnal, Saudi Arabia has taken in over half a million refugees and Turkey even more.

Saudi Arabia claims about 100,000 re-settlements. For a rich and neighbouring country (if true) it's very low. Considering that Germany took in 800,000.
