- koenigdavidmj 9y agoThis was not at the hands of ISIS, but the 'official' Syrian government. Equally scummy, but not generally a group with any interest in destroying historical landmarks for religious reasons.
- gcoda 9y agoI understand this. In a place with a lot of Muslims he will not get much love by trying to undo damage done by Muslim extremist. edit: Not government, just a lot of people with some authority disregarded his life and let him die. In the time of slavery, not everyone hated salves, nobody cared enough if one of them was falsely accused and executed. And this happens a lot, in Muslim countries, mob will decide to stone women, one cop will decide to throw a gay man from the roof, and nobody care enough to lift a finger about it. Not much people will care about a guy who tried to preserve Syrian culture

- gcoda 9y agoI ment it's considered dicatorship, and it is nonsense that any official country would even talk to Assad. I do not believe he is secular dictator, and he is supporting what everyone calls 'terrorists' and they have no value in human life. Maybe I am ignorant, sorry
- gcoda 9y agoHalf of world leaders is "Trump like", hate and fear, and they got their supporters. Putin have his true supporters, Assad have, Ukrainian president have a lot of supporters and he said a lot of lies. But for some reason untill Trump won you never understand how much of such people exists. And I am not remotely anti Trump or anti Assad, just consider how much fringe radical groups support Trump, and judging from that I assume people like that are empowered in Syria and Ukraine, maybe I am ignorant, I am judging from the far
- jim-jim-jim 9y agoWhat's up with the scare quotes around "official?" Is there another Syrian state we're not aware of?
- koenigdavidmj 9y agoI probably meant to type 'legitimate' there. Elected or not, the west prefers that Assad not be in power.
- jim-jim-jim 9y ago"Legitimate" is whatever the west wants?
