Saudi Arabia’s harsh Police of Vice and Virtue seem to be setting up shop in northern Syria, with locals reporting that rebel forces have establish Saudi-style religious police around the outskirts of Aleppo, and at least one high-ranking member of the Saudi version was seen in a video taking part.
The police are charged with enforcing an extremely harsh interpretation of Sunni Islam, and while the rebels insist they are aimed at “fighting crime,” the locals say that mostly they are forcing people to pray and stopping women from driving cars.
Women are expressing serious concern about the trend, saying that they were on board for a “revolution for freedom” but the rebels are determined to take away social and individual freedoms they enjoyed under the Assad regime.
Secular rebel factions insisted that the entire story was “made up” by the regime to discredit the rebellion, but Islamist factions seemed to endorse the move, saying that a virtue-and-vice squad is “part-and-parcel of the freedom revolution” and that since Sunnis are a majority in Syria they have a right to impose such rules on society.
Since 1980 the world has intered its Neo Fascism faze for the first time, in 2012 the world is intered its second faze of neo fascism starting with the most industrialized countries.
The real question is : why are we still calling it a pro democracy revolution ? … It is an Arab sponsored act of aggravation to get rid of the Only Iranian ally in the Arab World .
Mark…, whatever it is that they do is boils down to one thing.., stop any and every progressive country-government that is out there…, especially in middle east…, even as little as Syria…, Thats what Paul Wolfovitz have said and thats what these people follow.., otherwise their functioning brian is not even close to what they do.
The Arabs/Turks/Brits/Frogs don't do a thing without Washington's nod.
Exactly right. To weaken Iran, (for the sake of Israel), the Syrian people are to be sacrificed, their nation destroyed.
Whodathunkit?
Whatcha talkin bout Willis?
Virtue and Vice police. They are raving mad, locos de remate. The Saudies are crazier than most people. The Pakistanis just killed a man for supposedly talking bad of the Koran. Leave them alone for 500 years !
Good job, Dennis Ross and the rest of the neocon criminals, including the funders of Barada TV in London.
There are Christians groups in the US that feel that exact way. Anti-big government except for the part that enforces their interpretation of morality.. And of course killing people around the world with high technology or at a pinch, torture them to death, but Jesus would approve.
This is what the US, the EU and the GCC will be gifting to the rest of Syria. When the Jihadist are slaughtering Alawites and other Muslims they consider heretics and cleansing the country of Christians western pols will be sitting in their capitals tsk-tsking.
"Christians to Beirut. Alawites to the grave."- Syria's Muslim Brotherhood.
This was reported by voltairenet.org in November.

The US does it again! It falsely clamors about Al-Qaeda and Islamic "nuts" but all along it supports, finances, arms and trains these very people. Any secular Arab country is then sought after and destroyed. The house of Saud and Bush have had a long history that the current house of Obama seems more than content in continuing.
