Are you saying that they are so stupid to ruin their new fragile government by setting fire to the tree? Or are you too prejudiced to see this is meant to make Syrians look bad?!

I love it when someone who has never heard of a country named syria posts something like that just to spread hatred among the ignorant.

Assadcucks still calling for regime change? It’s time to accept “multipolarism” in Syria.

People are taking the time to vandalize. It’s what happens when your government fails. Trust me, if your country's government collapsed, I’m sure you would see this kind of behavior.

It was literally rebuilt by the “jihadists” the same day. Christian’s in Syria have been historically apolitical the only semi “religious war” you’d see would be done against alawites

There is no good reason for purging a religious minority regardless of the shitbags that claim to belong to them. This kind of mentality is toxic and dangerous.

You are right, I rather meant "understandable" reasons.

If you disagree then I would know that you probably don't know much about what happened in syria since the french occupation or simply from what the western media bothered to report.

This goes deeper than simply the Assads were Alawites.
