I had predicted this before: that the alliance between the "secular" intellectuals of the Syrian "revolution" and the Islamists of Syria (of the various strands) and the sponsoring Islamist regime would repeat the history of Tudeh's alliance with Khumayni. Today, the Islamist gangs of the revolution, which have been lauded by intellectuals of the Syrian National Coalition, kidnapped some of the same non-Islamists writers and bloggers of the "revolution". Yassin Hajj Saleh called for the release of his wife and Razzan Zaitoni but only because the kidnapping is "bad for the image" of the "revolution".
