Western condemnation after Syrian forces kill 72

But this is the Islamic Way.
Just another day in the Islamic World.

DAMASCUS: Western leaders condemned Damascus after Syrian forces shot dead at least 72 people in one of the bloodiest days of a month-long uprising after thousands had taken part in “Good Friday” protests.

The deaths signalled no let-up from President Bashar al-Assad, whose forces used live ammunition and tear gas against demonstrators in several towns and cities nationwide, witnesses and activists told AFP by telephone.

The bloodshed came amid street clashes one day after Assad scrapped decades of emergency rule and as demonstrators gathered to test long-sought freedoms.

The official SANA news agency said security forces intervened using tear gas and water cannon to “prevent clashes” between protesters and passers-by.

SANA spoke of 10 dead, including police, but rights groups put the toll much higher.

“The Syrian security forces committed massacres in several towns and regions today, so far killing 72 people and wounding hundreds,” said the London-based Syrian Human Rights Committee in a statement received by AFP.

These killings are commonly held in Syria what is doing The U.N.? these killings must be stopped and the the Syrian government must apologize for these killings and leave their posts immediately otherwise the U.N. send their coalition forces to the Syria and take necessary action against that cruel government.

War is sad and very alarming because innocent people die. People now don’t realize how precious life is. Preserve and proctect, these are our duty as people not to kill one another.

This is a disgusting outrageous human disaster...peaceful protesters fired upon with live ammunition!?!?! Assad must go and the will of the people to institute the reforms they need for the welfare of their fellow beings should be heeded. How could anything that Assad says authenticate his position? Truly, he is just another dictator on a growing list of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity.

Its true it is disgusting, but this is Islam, there were dozens if not a hundred or so civilians were burnt to crispy critters and hacked with Machettes over Easter weekend. this and things like it will continue in all Muslim countries regardless of what the U.N or NATO or the U.S. will do to help out!
