In the last couple of weeks we have seen those that are pro-regime call the protesters in Syria as Traitors and conspirators against their country. I have been stunned to hear from a couple of people that I talked to (some are family members) that what the regime is doing is just because these people (protesters) want to destroy the country. They call them "mukharebeen" that is people that sabotage, vandalize and to put it simply, terrorists. They say those that attack public goods like buildings and such deserve what they are getting.
What this reflects is two things, first, to these people human life is not sacred, secondly, materialism and worldly desires have blinded them so much that they have become selfish. In their eyes a nation is a place, a land, a building or a park, a road and a billboard. They are Wrong. A Nation... is a PEOPLE. People not stone or bricks, not a tree or a building. It is the people. People make up nations, they build nations.
So when you deprive your people from liberty, justice, freedom, security when you strangle their aspirations, hopes and dreams, when your doing this to your PEOPLE, your destroying your Nation; your Country.
Those that kill their people, kill their nation; those that say it is alright to kill some people for the sake of security, in fact are aiding to the destruction of their nation; and those that feel nothing when they see a person killed have no regards to their nation, they don't respect or love their people or nation. They are selfish, they are slaves to materialism. And They Are, most importantly, Traitors.
A nation is not a place, a land, a building or a park, a road and a billboard. A nation is a People.
