Won't matter how many buildings you build as long as you hold your women back you remain in the stone ages.

butthurt or jealous because your assad doesn't have the power or the money to make something like this.
they atleast try to do something with their economy, while your assad on the other hand has done nothing to improve the economic situation of Syria. no wonder people like you are in USA.

why do u have this feeling that in every Saudi thread you Assad lickers have to make this statement?

no one knows what the future will be like. maybe they will have more freedom than people in Syria one day, who knows!
