In polite society, statesmen are revered for their diplomacy and ability to bring people together, but in Syrian tribal societies, they apparently deserve to be barbecued and “eaten” like a lamb kebab. Literally.
Ahmad Al-Shlash, a tribal leader in Syria, gave an interview to the Arabic language channel Al-Dunya TV in which he, along with his “cousins,” reportedly called for the U.S. Ambassador to Syria, Robert Stephen Ford, to be cooked and eaten like “American mutton,“ either ”with salt or without salt.”
According to MEMRI TV, Al-Shlash also reportedly vowed the U.S. ambassador would only visit the Syrian town of Deir Al-Zour “over his dead body” and that he would “personally” stop the ambassador were the emissary to ever show up. For good measure, Al-Shlash cursed the American flag, calling it a “piece of….”
Of the U.S. ambassador, Al-Shlash reportedly said:
“That man, sitting in his embassy… I don’t get it. Who does he think he is – Christopher Columbus, exploring the area here? I don’t get it. I would like to convey a message to the security forces and to the entire world. The young people of Deir Al-Zour will not let him set foot in their city. I am talking about my cousins and my tribe. If they let me down, I myself will prevent him from entering Deir Al-Zour. By Allah, over my dead body will he ever enter Deir Al-Zour.
“One of my cousins said: ‘I swear by Allah, we will blow up the ground on which he sets foot. We will turn the road into smoldering coals.’
“Another cousin of mine said to me: ‘We are known for having the best mutton in the world. For the first time, Allah willing, we will be eating American mutton. Whether his flesh is bitter or not, with salt or without salt – we will eat him up.’
“Let me issue a warning. We cannot vouch for this man’s safety if he so much as sets foot on the threshold of Deir Al-Zour.” […]

Posted on July 20, 2011 at 11:46amIt‘s good to know that our Secretary of State and President’s apologizing for America tour has won us so many new friends in the Middle East. They do not fear us anymore and they certainly do not respect us. What do you call someone who apologizes for their own country and tries to suck up to the leaders of other countries? Sycophants and traitors. Until the U.S. has leaders with backbone who believe this is the greatest country in the world to live in and commands respect from other nations because we earn it, we will be lost.

Posted on July 20, 2011 at 6:28pmThis religion is a religion of hate. Even the Islam which means submit not peace is a word of intimidation. After spending a year researching this I have concluded that the koran is a handbook for hate and conquest. I can not accept such philosophy as good.

Posted on July 20, 2011 at 4:30amMore impressive examples of humanity from the “religion of Peace”.
In contrast, when Jesus’ disciples wanted to level a town by calling down fire on it (like Elijah did against the priests of Baal) for refusing to listen to Jesus’ message or give them customary hospitality, Jesus REBUKED his disciples for their BAD ATTITUDE!
“But turning He rebuked them. And He said, You do not know of what spirit you are.
Luke 9:56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save.” Luke 9:55
The magnamimity of Jesus is off the chart. You followers of Mohammed (may the truth shine upon him) SHOW ME where Mohammed was even a glimmer in the eyes of MY MASTER, Jesus the Anointed one of old?

So they have chosen the next target in line, the US, and possibly the French as well to see which will rise to the bait and give Assad the diversion to an external enemy he desperatly needs to have right now.
