Quick Background- Religion

Syria's population is approximately 90% Muslim and 10% Christian. Among Muslims, 74% are Sunni; the rest are divided among other Muslim sects, mainly Alawites (accounting for 10% of the total population) and Druze (6%), but also a small number of non-Druze Ismailites and Shiite, which has increased dramatically due to the influx of Iraqi refugees since 2005.

Islam:

Islam, the third Monotheistic religion, was started by the Prophet Muhammad, a descendant of a long line of prophets. Muhammad (P), had, through the Angel Gabriel, the revelation of the Koran, the word of Allah (The word 'Allah' translates into 'The GOD'). Islam spread like a field on fire, and was soon taken as the main religion of Syria.

Christianity:

There are several Christian communities, who, on a whole, constitute approx. 8 - 10% of the Syrian population. Christianity in Syria is divided into three parts: Catholic Churches, Orthodox Churches, and the Protestants. The Catholic Churches are divided into the following: Greek Catholics, Syrian Catholics, Armenian Catholics, Chaldean Catholics, Maronite Catholics, and Latin Catholics. All have their own Patriarch, although the highest position is the Pope in the Vatican. The Orthodox Churches are divided into Greek Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox, and Armenian Orthodox. These Churches also have their own patriarchs and all belong to the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All East, however the Armenians are under the guidance of a Patriarch in Armenia. Protestants are few and are under the guidance of a Thinodus (A level of Priesthood). Their representation in the academic and economic life of Syria far exceeds the percentage of their population.

Christianity in Syria is strongly recognized and National holidays include Christmas, New Years day, and Easter. The Armenian Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas on the 6th of January. As for Easter it is celebrated on two different dates, the customary Western date (celebrated by the Catholic Churches, Protestants and Armenian Orthodox), the other date is celebrated by the Syrian and Greek Orthodox.

Judaism:

There is also a tiny Syrian Jewish community that is confined mainly to Damascus; remnants of a formerly 40,000 strong community. After Israel occupation of Palestine, many fled to Israel and only 5000 Jews were left in Syria. Of these, 4000 more left after agreement with the United States in the 1990s. As of 2006, there are only a few hundred Jews left in Syria.

Overall life in Syria:

Christians and Muslims in Syria lived together as brothers, there is no separation or segregation at all. Syria does not profess a state religion, and does not officially favor any religion over another. However, now after the incidents that are going on in Syria there are some outsiders that trying to create sedition between the brothers, sadly the most of world is supporting the sedition. But Syria is stronger then that. We will not fall to their trap, the whole world fear us, they fear or unity, they fear us being together and living peacefully and happily. 
I'm not Christian nor Muslim I'M SYRIAN. 

Quick background and quick questions

Before I start i would like you to know that English is my second language


What is really going on in Syria?
This question is on everybody's mind these days. Some people go online and search "Syria" and the first thing they see might be news about Syria, such as "Syrian tanks entered this city". And people mind just stop thinking and they read the article that's full of lies. Well when I see that headline I ask my self why did the tanks enter the city?? what is going on in that city? and why the media is only worried about Syria, like Syria is the only country in the middle east.

This is my first blog and Im gonna make it short, if  people start have an interest about the truth, I will continue. I will immediately get my point across.

Religion in Syria:
Islam: about 90% ( Mostly Sunni)
Christians: 10%
There are some Syrian Jews, however most of them left, and now there are about 200 Syrian Jew in Damascus.
 The life in Syria (before the "revolution") is peaceful and easy. Syria is a country where religion don't matter between people, Muslim, Christian that did not matter. We just lived together, the neighborhoods consisted of both Christians and Muslims, and they both got along well. We celebrate everything together there was no difference. In Syria we believe, The nation (Syria) for all, and religion for God, which means that we all live together, we all share Syria because we are all Syrians, and the religion is between you and God only. However there are some uneducated people, who see something else, and they are extremist and those are rare in Syria as far as I know they are mostly in the villages not in the cities, but after the "revolution" started, unfortunately they showed up, and got support from the outside.

Peaceful demonstration:
I don't think this think exist at all, peaceful demonstration ? How is it peaceful demonstration, when the army and security forces are dying everyday? How is it peaceful when they are bombing and killing people? I am sure that non of you heard about the soldiers who are dying everyday, I am sure the media you are following does not cover those stories at all, and i will cover that issue later on in my blogs.

Media:
The media is causing the bloodshed going in Syria, the killing of both army and civilians. The media is not covering the true story about Syria. Have anyone of you seen the millions who went out in every city in Syria to support  the reforms the President Alassad doing? 99% of you heavent heard of it. Not just in Syria, rather in the whole world, in United States, in Europe and other countries. Just last week on September 4th the largest Syrian flag in USA (223 meters) was in Allentown, PA, the rally was to show the support for the president Alassad, all of these Syrians came to show the world the truth, but the media did not cover that. It's happening in their own country and not covering it, do they only cover outside of USA events?

Anyway, this was just some points that I will go over in details later, every point will be explained with reasons. However i will only write one every other time (maybe every weekend) because of the time.

Finally, I want all of you to ask yourself, Why Syria? Why its only Syria on the news? Why Bahrain and Yemen are not on news? Why USA only makes statements and sanctions on Syria, but not on Bahrain where the real killing of civilians is really happening?

May God open your eyes to see the truth.
