It is about time to expose the real face of the so called secular regime in Syria. What is happening in Syria now is a criime against humanity. The Ba’ath regime represented by Hafez Assad and his brother Rifa’at killed about 40000 innocent civilians in Hama and other city in 1982. We will overthrow this ugly regime. We beg the world to help us to take them into account for their horrific crimes against their people. Today, Bashar who is illegal president is repeating his father’s history. Enough is more than enough.
