Trotskyist Salafites

"In addition to these voices, however, there are figures that, without supporting Assad’s regime, have become alarmed by the “militarisation” of the Syrian uprising, and with it the risk of Western military intervention. These include the popular Lebanese blogger As’ad AbuKhalil, Palestinian professor Joseph Massad, Guardian columnist Seumas Milne, and veterans of the global anti-war movement like Tariq Ali and Sami Ramadani."  No, dear. My concern (and the concern of comrade Joseph) is not about militarization: it is about the ideology and sponsors of militarization.  Get it now?  (thanks "Ibn Rushd")
