Hello
After the Arab spring, many people had great expectations about the future, including me, we thought that freedom would soon lead the Arab countries into prosperity & civilization ; sadly the opposite scenario was the conclusion of the spring.
I'm very scared, really. The situation is a disaster, something is wrong but nobody can know what it is ; arabs are acting in a very chaotic way, without showing any sine of wisdom or change in mentality. Yet Arabs are still thinking in a religious & suicidal mentality which promises a new dark age for the middle east ; all of it.
Syria was the starter of that sad scenario. The Syrian revolution started as we all wanted it to be : protests against a tyrant. Soon enough the killing started, mostly against the protestors.
The first days of the Syrian revolution harvested many lives. The protestors started to change their motto, from "freedom & prosperity" to "Jihad & Sunna". The Syrian revolt turned into a religious civil war in a surprise that nobody could've imagined.

It's officially a civil war right now, between Sunna & Shia.
I gathered some links over the net which might show you how many this change is really true, not just a myth that I'm broadcasting.

Especially the last link contains some very interesting mentality :
This speech reminds me with Al-Qaida. This is the same mentality which we saw many times.. If Al-Qaida reached syria & stationed there ; may god have mercy on us from what's going to happen..
Iraq is witnessing a similar scenario.
Right now, there are protests against the government, many think it would also turn into a civil war between "Sunna & Shia". The current Iraqi government is Shia, the majority of the protests are taking place in Sunni cities & provinces.

This scares me a lot.
You see, for almost a whole century Arabs never thought this way. There was no civil wars based on religion.. The middle east is very multi-culutral, civil wars in there would mean a disaster.
Sadly Iran is providing the perfect fuel for that war for Shia, while Saudi Arabia is doing the same for Sunna.
The main reason for the Syrian revolution to turn into a civil religious war was the Saudi propaganda ; the first to declare it as a holy war.
Let's also not forget the west, which acts like a ballet dancer around this matter. If the west didn't provide supplies & support for these leaders, we wouldn't have faced this scenario in the first place. If the west remained silent without supporting any faction, we also would've not faced this.
The west is providing help the Sunni fighters in syria, everybody knows it. But after the end of that bloody war, those factions would start raiding on us, OTHER MUSLIMS AROUND. This devastating conclusion means that we're facing another afghanistan ; but on a massive scale.
This area is facing a dark future if they continued to do what they're doing. I don't blame foreign countries only ; the main problem is from us.
The only way for Arabs to skip this dark fate is to start living in this world. Arabs must put their differences away & start doing something for themselves, start acting like humans..
It's sad to see human beings reaching this level of ignorance & lack of primitive mental abilities to unite & accept..
Funny thing is ; Jihadists are fighting for "god" since the cold war. Why didn't we see them win a single objective ? they literally achieved nothing. The west crushed them almost everywhere, and now they turned their fire against other Muslims after loosing hope in defeating the west.
I really don't know what to do.. Should I run & turn into a self hating arab, or simply hold my ground with the knowledge I have, and try to fix my community ? which would make me an "infidel" in the eyes of these people ?
Maybe I need to start doing something for myself. Maybe I must ignore everything around me & just like many other Arabs are doing..
IDK...
If somebody read this topic seriously ; you can share your answer with me, what would you do if you're in my shoes ?

Quote:Our brothers in faith, we are the Brigade of Mujahidin in the Levant and we have arrived to fight in the name of Allah and to raise the word of Allah. How many opportunities have we missed ? The reason is because we haven’t unified the word of Allah and we ask Allah that the fall of this tyrant would be done by us and that we will be able to raise the world of Allah in the blessed land.
