LBAM,
is it true that you support Al-Nusra?
If yes, why do you support them?
First of all, feel free to go through my posts see where I've "outed" myself as an al-Qa'idah supporter. I haven't. I just haven't been, "OH NO, JN WAS VICTORIOUS. THE SKY IS FALLING. ASSAD COME BACK."
I don't hate JN, I don't love them. I leave judgement up to the Syrian people themselves because they're the ones there on the ground and from the looks of it, they either support JN or, at the very least, tolerate them because they prefer them over Assad.
I think people are mainly just making JN guilty by association instead of looking at their consistent actions.
One of the more balanced posts I've seen on this thread was Supreme's.
That's the real value this thread. Without realising it, LBAM does illustrate just how awful the situation is for the Syrian people. Because there is nobody to cheer. No hope for Syrians to not live under brutal oppression and bigotry.
Yet they're still cheering whenever the rebels come and free their towns from the grips of Assad's forces even though they know that means Assad will retaliate with attacks (chemical weapons and barrel bombs). I think they would know more about the reality they face than people in the West who just see a certain name and assume it must be terrible for them.
Many Syrians were livid by the US targeting of JN in its campaign against ISIS. That should tell you something.
