Another writer doesn't like the word terrorist
Reader comment on item: The Shi'ite crescent holds its ground

The Christians of Syria don't fear the Syrian armed forces. On the contrary they fear Sunni Takfiri fanatics and a host of other barbaric terrorist groups. The author is also playing "the Sunni card." Strange because vast numbers of Syrian armed forces are Sunni and clearly Syria is pro-Palestinian and most Palestinians are Sunni.

The author appears to be egging on Sunni sectarian elements by highlighting the numbers of Shia compared with Sunni Muslims. I guess we could say the same about Jews in Israel being a clear minority in the Middle East region.

I conclude that the author may state "rebels" about the "terrorists" who did September 11?
