From Alfred: "It is a fact that Arab Christians in the US enjoy more freedoms of speech than
Arab Muslims. It is a fact." [From my post yesterday].
It
is not easy to demonstrate for Assad in the US, unless you have a large strong
united community that you can rely on like in Allentown, PA. The entire Arab
Christian community (and not just Assad supporters demonstrating) would
be viewed
by the ignorant American public as backing a tyrant just like when Serbian
Christians in America were demonstrating in support of the Serbian government
during the war in Kosovo. But, in Assad's case, he is not ONLY viewed as a
tyrant but, an Anti-Israeli and (automatically) anti American
tyrant.
But,
for a Muslim community to support Assad, it is a lot worst...they would ALL be
viewed as "terrorists".
