I am glad you are doing this blog. Thank you for your clarity and your honesty at a time and place where it is probably very frightening to do so. Your courage is inspiring.
I presume its written for the world to see as well otherwise why would it be in english as well… Ironic indeed… I wonder if the relatives of the people being rounded up including 80 year old men and whose children have been murdered still believe in Bashar??
Occasionally, it comes up that there are some prejudiced Americans about Arab people, or that there is some feeling that Americans blame Arabs for all their problems. I would just like to say, there are some of us Americans who believe in you (although we do not have a billboard). I support you and your fellow peoples' efforts for a free society.
It is also a myth that America is truly free. Every day, there are groups of people working against the freedoms of Americans even within our own country. The true beauty of America is that the nation's founders gave its citizens the tools to resist tyranny and oppression. Here's hoping that your nations new founders yet to come will give you the tools to do the same, as the reality is freedom is always a struggle.

Rule of thumb in totalitarian regimes:
The larger and more numerous the public pictures of the leader, the more oppressive the regime.
I hope things settle down there
