The modern Arab people have become scattered, it is hard to become re-united as one single state as thousand years ago.

Although Syrians are Arabs, but their leaders have chose to become the political ally of Iran, even you say the Assad government is illegitimate, but how about Iraq? It is a Shia majority Arab state, and its government represents the majority after the regime of Saddam.

Will you guys want to overthrow the Iraqi govt after Assad is gone?

I think it's hard for others to understand what's among Arabs. Before Algerian independence in 1962, Arab students in all over Arab world donated their modest allowances for Algerian struggle against France occupation and most of the capable countries sent arms and supported them politically and financially until they got their freedom. My father told me, in old times, students were chanting Algerian anthem in public schools. And this went on all Arab states. KSA and Egypt fought each other in Yemen in 60s, but KSA rushed to support Egypt militarly and financially in 1967 war as well as 1973 when she with all oil Arab countries cut off oil from the world, athough the leaders were the same ones who fought eachother before. Egypt along with many Arab countries sent troops to Kuwait to detter Iraq from invading it, but Kuwait itself supported Iraq with tens of billions of dollars in it's war with Iran in 80s. Arabs fought all together Israel in 1984, 1967, and 1973. Jordanian, Iraqi, Syrian and Egyptian armies were built by GCC, Libyan and Algerian money. And they still financing us. Lebanon was rebuilt by GCC and Arab money aftermath 2009 war. In 1968, Algerian president, Ben Bellah gave Egypt an empty cheque to put down the amount of money she needed to rebuilt it's army. Iraq, Morrocco and Algerai sent arms to Mauritania in it's war with Senegal... And the list goes on...
We as Arabs interacted with all Arab revolutions and felt their pain, that's why you see me here defending Syrian just cause. You would see demonstrations in all Arab capitals in support of Egyptians, Palestinians, Iraqis and others. During Egyptian and Libyan revolutions you would rarely Arab family doesn't following up News with great concern. We don't need to unite but rather develop our relationships and take GCC as a model. Syrian regime doesn't represent Syrians and he is hijacking Syria which will be freed soon.

Ok,why don't you support your Arab 'brothers' in Bahrain?Maybe because they are 'criminal blood thirsty Shia murderers' who only demand democracy and want an end for minority rule over majority?Doesn't that show hypocritical face of yours?Supporting Arab 'brothers' in Syria while suppressing Arab 'brothers' in Bahrain?

I know,now you want to say revolution in Bahrain is an Iranian plot and blah blah,please don't say it,because we are sick of hearing the same bs everyday.

The first question I ask myself when people of a specific country rise for a revolution, what are they protesting for? And as I interact with most Arab people directly or indirectly and follow up their News for a very along time closely, I can say I know what is going on inside many of them. I hated Egyptian and Tunisian presidents even before the Arab spring, and I knew how those regimes were sadistic and oppressors. However, as for Bahrain, there is nothing to protest for, I agree that Bahrain isn't the best model for democracy but it is one of the best in the region. Shia had representatives in Parliament and had Political parties. Living standards in Bahrain one of the highest in the world, free taxes, free medical treatment and free education. 35 were killed among them policemen, and the police who tortured or shot them were sued and punished and some of them were sentenced with 10 years. You must be joking when comparing Bahrain with Syria

I'm sure you can find 'Kosur' over there almost anywhere so it probably isn't problematic to conform to one's religious dietary sensibilities.

What are you doing here?! You better get Mosa an another mule. It seems he is not satisfied with one in hand.

Saudis snub Russian trade delegation

Manama: Two Saudi trade bodies have refused to receive a Russian delegation to protest Moscow’s support to the Syrian regime.
“The Russian delegation was not official and comprised seven businessmen,” Abdullah Bin Mahfoodh, member of the Chamber of Commerce in Jeddah. “They were in Saudi Arabia to visit some trade shows and they asked their consulate in Jeddah to coordinate a visit to the chambers of commerce in Riyadh and Jeddah,” he told local Arabic daily Al Sharq.
The delegation visited the Jeddah trade body where they were received by employees, but they did not meet any businessman, he said, adding that four of the members were Muslims and they performed Umrah.
Makkah, where Muslims perform Umrah and Haj (pilgrimage), is about 70 kilometres from the Red Sea resort of Jeddah.
Ben Mahfood attributed the “lack of interest” of the Jeddah commerce chamber in organizing a meeting between Saudi and Russian businessmen to Moscow’s support to the Syrian regime.
A statement from the chamber denied remarks posted on social networks about an official Saudi reception for the delegation despite Moscow’s siding with the Syrian regime.
“The delegation members were received by the head of directorate, but there was never an official meeting with any of the chamber leaders,” it said. Thousands of Saudis launched an online campaign against the planned Saudi Russian meeting and used popular networks to denounce it, saying that it was a source of shame.
Last week, Saud Al Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, said that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states were losing hope that a peace plan spearheaded by United Nations and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan could put an end to violence in Syria.
Al Faisal said that Russia needed to change its stance on Syria.
“The time has come for Russia to change its stance from supporting the Syrian regime to working to stop the killing and (supporting) a peaceful transition of power,” he said at a news conference.
Ahmad Al Ghamdi, the head of the chamber media centre, said. They remained committed to the official Saudi Arabian position on the matter.
“Saudi businessmen have turned down all invitations by their Russian counterparts to take part in common activities,” he said, quoted by the daily.
The Russians arrived in Saudi Arabia through an invitation by a private company and the chamber had no role in granting them the necessary papers, he said.
“The limited reception went ahead only after we made sure that some of the visitors represented Muslim areas,” he said.
Abdul Rahman Al Jaraisi, the head of the chamber of commerce in Riyadh, said that the cancellation of the meeting with the Russian delegation was “an expression of compassion with the brotherly people of Syria and a protest against the Russian position on what is happening there.”
“We refused to meet because we wanted to convey the message from the Saudi business community and from Saudi Arabia that we have reservations about the unfair and unjust way they have been dealing with Syria,” he told Al Sharq. “Russia will be the greatest loser and if they stop exporting iron or wheat, we will not lose anything. There are Saudi substitutes for the iron and several other countries are ready to export to us iron and wheat,” he said.

"The Kingdom learned with strong astonishment and surprise about the comment by the Russian Foreign Ministry's representative on human rights which represents a blatant and unjustified intervention ... in the internal affairs of the kingdom," SPA quoted a Foreign Ministry statement, attributed to an "official source", as saying.

So they can intervene in Syria's matter, DOUBLE STANDARD

Saudi people are close brothers of Syrians, we are all Arabs. And we have every right to intervene. While Iran and Russia are foreign states and don't have any right to intervene there.

I would rather die before you call your self Syrian people brother, you are nothing but a traitor and back stabber.

If Saudi Arabia has a right to condemn this,then Syria has also a right to condemn Saudis for arming and funding terrorists and suicide bombers and for interfering in its affairs.SA tasting its own medicine.

Here comes the defender of most brutal man born on the face of the earth who has killed several Muslims what Saudi Arabia have done to stop it is not enough they should do more than that

Having a couple of nukes doesn't make you a super power. There is no room in region for Russia, they need to wake up and realize its not the 60's anymore.
