    I mean, even if the opposition did take over, many of them have committed war crimes just as bad as Assad, and are just as bad as Assad, and even if Assad's regime was taken over, the opposition would likely quarrel and fight amongst themselves just as the mujahideen did in Afghanistan, and the worst possible group would likely take over in the midst of the chaos...a group worse than the original...this is because the rebel groups have vastly different objectives, and goals for Syria.....

    No. It is not the lesser of two evils. If we take it just from the aspect of religion alone, then Bashar al-Kalb belongs to the `Alawiyyoon, whom even the general 12 Imaamer Shi`as regard as Kaafirs. He is a worse Kaafir than a Jew or a Christian. For a Jew or a Christian to rule is not as bad as for him to rule. That is how extreme his Kufr is. Obviously, all rule besides the Sharee`ah is Baatil, whether it is by a Jew, or a Christian, or a Shi`a; I am just giving an example here to explain the issue.

    I am here talking about the possibility of further civil war and suffering and oppression and injustice and youre here talking about the religion of the potential ruler?????? a kaafir or heretic can be the lesser of two evils, and a Muslim can be the greater of two evils....just look at Afghanistan, and what about there with the mujahideens' adventure.

    Re: Is it bad to view Assad as the lesser of the evils in Syria?

    It´s not a question of what religion person believes. If he has done bad thing, he is bad. The idea of lesser evil is invalid too. If person is bad he is bad.

    Kafirs may do bad things as well believers. We can then of course say that if believer do bad thing, he isn´t believer any more but then we have a problem that we shouldn´t say someone isn´t believer because only Allah knows who is and who isn´t. It´s like asking is daesh lesser evil when it kills Muslims than Assad when he kills Muslims (or order this soldiers to kill them). Are war crimes of Zionists lesser evil than war crimes of Sunni rebels? No. Crime is a crime. We should be honest to ourselves and be ready to condemn any kind of crimes against other people, just same who is the criminal.

    Wow, just my opinion.

    From Occupied Palestine:

    We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.

    The protection and preserving of religion is the greast interest in fiqh. There is no greater evil than the corruption of religion. So fighting to prevent this from happening is necessary, even it requires sacrifice.

    Some scholars argued that the chaos and weakness caused by revolting against a fasiq leader is a greater evil than staying under his rule. Though this allowed too, the case of Bashar is far greater than this, as he is imposing his false nationalist and kufr doctrins on the people and thereby corrupting the religion.

    I'm sure almost all Syrians now would rather live under the relative peace and security of Assad than this American fueled war. The same goes for those of Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Brohter shame on you, no creation of Allah is a "kelb". Secondly: Bashar Al Assad is the best, when I was younger we went there as visitors to our family there and I saw what Bashar Al Assad has built up, he repaired Syria, he let palestinians enter syria and built for them houses and gave them Jobs. You only think that he is bad, because you see so in the media. You know what, collect your news more accurately and rather ask someone who is for example from Damascus. You and me both know who really built ISIS and who built up that group that is fighting against him, I dont wanna mention who but its clear

    Not to the majority of Muslims. The majority of Muslims take the opposing stance from your view. The media makes him look bad is such a poor poor argument.

    Well, judging by your username, you're not someone who can give guidance in this matter. You're probably a teenager, am I correct? You have no idea what you're talking about, child.

    It might be better if you rather spent the time playing video games, instead of praising one of the vilest Kaafirs on earth.

    A small quiz to open your mind up:

    What did Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم - and the Salaf after him - refer to the Khawaarij as? (Note: The Khawaarij are not even as bad as the `Alawiyyoon that Bashar al-Kalb is a part of, yet they were referred to like this. Many `Ulamaa even said that the Khawaarij were still Muslims.)

    What Were the Khawaarij Called.

    Well judging by my username, but you dont know me so please respect other people and behave like a muslim, are any of the creation of allah doggs, what you said is Haram, just because he is a Kafir we should blame him ? Men learn to respect others even if they are not muslims and built up your own mind instead of following the media ! Allah will judge about the people if you or me or Bashar Al Assad are Kafirs

    It seems like you're just throwing the word 'kaffir' around without any possible logic or explanation to it... And I don't get your sentence about if he should be blamed or not even if he is a Kafir. It's not about being a Kafir. It's about the actions that has been committed.

    Well brother I ask you, were you in Syria once ? Do you have seen attacks once live in Syria ? I did, it was horrible and without even knowing the media puts it up like "Assad killed 100 Civilsts" and then I think "who told ya that" they only show what they want, they wont show when the ones against Assad torture the civilists. I have family there who keeps telling me whats going on and I tell you there is a big difference what is shown in the News and what I got to hear from my Family

    Lol I'm not going to take your view because you say "I have family there! I know what's going on" there are many Muslim journalists that have gone and back. Gone and stayed are reporting Haqq. The truth. Charities. One I'm currently with have heard witness stories. I don't need to believe you on whether Assad is beautiful.

    Re: Is it bad to view Assad as the lesser of the evils in Syria?

    The question isn't going to be answered, I see.

    Let me answer it, then:

    Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, and this Hadeeth can be found in Sunan ibn Maajah, it can be found in Musnad Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, it can be found in Sunan at-Tirmidhi. Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:


    الْخَوَارِجُ كِلَابُ النَّارِ


    "The Khawaarij are the Dogs of Hell."


    Ibn Abi Awfaa رضي الله عنه is the Raawi of the Hadeeth as it appears in Sunan ibn Maajah and Musnad Imaam Ahmad, and Abu Umaamaah رضي الله عنه is the Raawi of the Hadeeth as it appears in Sunan at-Tirmidhee.


    So this لقب (You're an Arab boy. You know what is لقب المدح ولقب الذم, correct?) This Laqab has been applied to the Khawaarij from the time of Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم until the present day. "The Dogs of Hell".


    Now, who is worse? Khawaarij or `Alawiyyoon? The Sahaabah like Hadhrat `Ali ibn Abi Taalib رضي الله عنه did not make Takfeer of the Khawaarij, Yet, this term was applied to them. When it comes to the `Alawiyyoon, whom the entire Ummah is unanimous upon them being Kuffaar - in fact, even the Ithnaa `Ashariyyah Shi`as regard them as Kuffaar - then how more deserving aren't they of this term? And their president himself, Bashar al-Kalb. Bashar the Dog of Hell.

    There are also many videos on YouTube - if you do a search - which shows some of the things which Bashar al-Kalb and his regime have perpetrated. There are some torture videos as well which have been uploaded. People present recorded with their phones.
