This is funny stuff here.
Syria is killing its people at will, the monitors (not peace keepers) are quitting there observations because Syria will not heed the warnings.
They can not get an Arab solution that they are requesting, so now the U.N.
This all means that Muslim dictators are allowed to indiscriminately kill whoever they want and nobody can control them. And now they are ensuring the continuation of the killings by taking it to the U.N.. (Useless Nitwits)
And really, Nobody else in the world seems to care.
(Reuters) - Gulf Arab states withdrew their observers from Syria on Tuesday after it rejected an Arab League plan for President Bashar al-Assad to surrender power, prompting the group's chief to call for U.N. help in ending Syria's bloody upheaval.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem accused the League of plotting to engineer foreign intervention. Thousands of civilians and members of security forces have been killed in the 10-month-old uprising against Assad.
Despite Syria's anger, Moualem agreed to extend by a month the mission of the remaining Arab League observers who are monitoring implementation of a plan to end the bloodshed. But he scornfully rejected the League's latest proposal.
"Definitely the solution in Syria is not the solution suggested by the Arab League, which we have rejected. They have abandoned their role as the Arab League and we no longer want Arab solutions to the crisis," Moualem said.
"Heading to the Security Council will be the third stage in their plan, and the only thing left is the last step of internationalization," he told a news conference in Damascus.
"They can head to New York or to the moon. So long as we are not paying for their tickets it is none of our concern."

Dozens killed in Damascus explosion
While the regime squarely blames the opposition movement for the violence, opposition leaders have voiced skepticism, suggesting the government itself may have staged the deadly attacks two weeks ago in an effort to paint the anti-government groups as terrorists.
So who is it then?
Who is killing the people of Syria, Assad or a terrorist group; maybe the protesters themselves.
Either way, Muslims are killing Muslims at an alarming rate these days, not surprising given their religion; between Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, and not to leave out the countless other Islamic countries that have their problems, the worlds population is getting smaller.
Islam, the religion of murderous population control.
CBSnews
Syrian officials blamed a "terrorist suicide bomber" for an explosion Friday which appeared to target a bus full of police in central Damascus, causing deaths.
State TV reported the blast in the central Damascus neighborhood of Midan killed at least 25 people and wounded more than 50 others, with "most" of the casualties being civilians...
While the regime squarely blames the opposition movement for the violence, opposition leaders have voiced skepticism, suggesting the government itself may have staged the deadly attacks two weeks ago in an effort to paint the anti-government groups as terrorists.
Echoing that sentiment on Friday, the Syrian Revolution Coordinating Committees - an umbrella organization representing opposition groups - said the Assad regime was behind the attack in Midan.

scores killed in assault on Syrian village
More Muslim Killing Muslim Violence in Syria.
Islam, the religion of killing your own people because they disagree with you.
L.A.Times
In one of the deadliest reported episodes of a nine-month uprising, Syrian security forces assaulting a village near the Turkish border surrounded and killed more than 100 people in a hail of tank and machine gun fire, opposition activists said Wednesday.
Tuesday’s attack on Kfar Owaid in the northwestern province of Idlib came as government forces pressed an offensive against a mountainous region where there have been weeks of protests and fierce clashes with military defectors fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army.

Assad losing control as 10,000 soldiers desert Syrian military
Slowly Assad is losing power.
And he will continue to kill his people everyday that he is in power, nobody wants to step in on this one to help out.
Haaretz,com
More than 10,000 soldiers have deserted the Syrian army, sources say, with as many as half the conscripts not reporting in the last three call-ups.
According to Western intelligence agencies, even though the top brass is still loyal to President Bashar Assad, lower-level officers are deserting in large numbers, and in some cases, whole units have deserted en masse.
The army is considered the main factor safeguarding Assad's regime, after mass protests began in the south in March and spread throughout the country, inspired by the demonstrations elsewhere in the Arab world.
On Tuesday, at least 73 people were killed in Syria in clashes between the army and opposition, most of them in Homs in the west and Idlib in the northwest. The 73 dead added to the 100 who were killed on Monday, among them 14 soldiers ambushed by opposition forces, human rights groups said.

U.N. estimates 5,000 killed in Syrian uprising
Some more Muslim Killing Muslim peaceful violence in Syria.
Yep that's right, peaceful violence; only in Islam !
(CNN) -- As explosions and gunfire continued to ripple in Syria, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights on Monday raised the death toll from the Damascus government's crackdown on anti-regime activists to close to 5,000 people.
"This situation is intolerable," Navi Pillay said in a briefing for the U.N. Security Council.
The same day that Pillay spoke, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and a resident of Homs -- an opposition hotbed and frequent site of violence in recent months -- reported that a gas pipeline exploded near the city, following by gunfire and circulating military airplanes.
The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, or SANA, played up local elections Monday as an expression of "democracy and free will." Yet the Homs resident said there was no evidence of voting in that city. Instead, this witness reported nonstop shooting and bombardments.
Such violence is nothing new in Syria, with Pillay reporting more than 200 people have died in the last 10 days and "the Syrian population continues to live in fear of further violent repression."
The Syrian government, meanwhile, has consistently blamed the violence on "armed terrorist" gang members and denied any efforts to target peaceful civilians.

Syrian forces killed, tortured 256 children
It quoted one former soldier who said he decided to defect after witnessing an officer shoot a 2-year-old girl in Latakia, then claim he killed her so she wouldn't grow up to be a demonstrator.
How nice ! But this is Islam we are talking about, the worlds death cult.
yeah people will say that this is not true but yet, everyday I can find a story saying different; a suicide bombing here, a honor killing there, 256 kids murdered another time...
Islam is a Death Cult, Bashar al-ASSad is the latest reigning cult leader and he is no closer to being taken out than he was a few months ago.
Newsday
A U.N. investigation has concluded that Syrian forces committed crimes against humanity by killing and torturing hundreds of children, including a 2-year-old girl reportedly shot to death so she wouldn't grow up to be a demonstrator...
The report by a U.N. Human Rights Council panel found that at least 256 children were killed by government forces between mid-March and early November, some of them tortured to death.
"Torture was applied equally to adults and children," said the assessment, released in Geneva. "Numerous testimonies indicated that boys were subjected to sexual torture in places of detention in front of adult men."...
It quoted one former soldier who said he decided to defect after witnessing an officer shoot a 2-year-old girl in Latakia, then claim he killed her so she wouldn't grow up to be a demonstrator.
The list of alleged crimes committed by Syrian forces "include murder, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence," said the panel's chairman, Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, a Brazilian professor. "We have a very solid body of evidence."

More than 50 killed in Syria in 1 day
Pres, Assad has no intentions of stepping down, he is perfectly content with the struggle that has developed in Syria; and with killing whoever stands in his way.
50 here a dozen there, ever wonder how many Muslims in total are killed everyday?
AP
A wave of violence killed more than 50 people in Syria in one day, many of them Syrian soldiers who came under attack from army defectors, activists said Tuesday.
The unrest in Syria is escalating as President Bashar Assad comes under mounting pressure — not only from the West but from his Arab neighbors, as well.
The U.N. estimates the regime's military crackdown on dissent has killed 3,500 people in the past eight months. November is shaping up to be the bloodiest month of the uprising, with more than 250 Syrian civilians killed so far, activists say.
Although activists say the uprising has remained largely peaceful, with street protesters calling for the regime's downfall, an armed insurgency also has developed in recent months targeting Assad's military and security forces.

Syrians Protest Arab League Suspension
Syria, not very happy with this one.
Being suspended from the Arab League has taken them by surprise, I guess they thought that all other Muslim countries would not go against them in the vote.
Foxnews
Tens of thousands of Syrian government supporters poured into the streets Sunday to protest an Arab League vote to suspend the country's membership, as Turkey sent planes to evacuate diplomatic staff and their families after a night of attacks on embassies.
Facing growing isolation, the Syrian government called for an urgent Arab summit to discuss the country's spiraling political unrest and invited Arab League officials to visit before its membership suspension was to take effect on Wednesday.
In a significant concession, the government said the Arab officials could bring any civilian or military observers they deem appropriate to oversee implementation of an Arab League plan for ending the bloodshed.
The 22-member bloc's vote on Saturday was a stinging rebuke to a regime that prides itself as a bastion of Arab nationalism and left Syria increasingly isolated over its crackdown on an eight-month uprising that the U.N. estimates has killed more than 3,500 people since mid-March.

Arab League to Discuss Suspending Syria
Heh, Syria may not care though, that's how dictatorships work.
Foxnews
The Arab League has called an emergency meeting Sunday to discuss whether to suspend Syria, officials said, ramping up the pressure on Damascus to end its bloody crackdown on anti-government protesters.
Suspension is unlikely to have a direct, tangible impact on Syria, but it would still constitute a major blow to President Bashar Assad's embattled regime by stripping Damascus of its Arab support and further deepening its isolation.
Despite the growing international chorus for an end to the crisis, Assad has shown no sign of backing down or easing his campaign to crush the seven-month-old uprising. On Sunday, security forces opened fire on a funeral for a slain activist in the east, while security forces arrested at least 44 people in the capital's suburbs in house-to-house raids Sunday and more than 900 people in the central city of Homs over the past week

Syrian Death Toll, 3000.
And still nothing will be done.
BBC
The United Nations has said the death toll in seven months of protests in Syria against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad has reached 3,000.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said at least 187 children were among the dead and that 100 people had died in the past 10 days alone.
The UN also says hundreds of Syrians have been arrested.
Ms Pillay warned that Syria's "ruthless repression" threatened "full-blown civil war".
The government in Damascus blames armed "terrorist gangs" for the trouble, and says 1,100 members of the security forces have been killed.

Syrian Spies in the U.S.
A Syrian American gathering info on other Syrians who have been speaking out against the Syrian Government, in order to what?
“silence, intimidate and potentially harm the protesters.”
How Islamic is that.
The New York Times
The Justice Department on Wednesday accused a Syrian-American man of secretly working for a Syrian intelligence service. It said he collected information about people in the United States who were protesting the Syrian government’s crackdown on the country’s pro-democracy movement, as part of a scheme to “silence, intimidate and potentially harm the protesters.”
The man, Mohamad Anas Haitham Soueid, 47, a resident of Leesburg, Va., was arrested on Tuesday and charged with six offenses, including serving as a foreign agent without registering and making false statements, authorities said. They described him as a naturalized American citizen born in Syria.
“The ability to assemble and protest is a cherished right in the United States, and it’s troubling that a U.S. citizen from Leesburg is accused of working with the Syrian government to identify and intimidate those who exercise that right,” said Neil H. MacBride, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “Spying for another country is a serious threat to our national security, especially when it threatens the ability of U.S. citizens to engage in political speech within our own borders.”

Dozens killed in Syrian clashes
It has been a busy weekend in Islam, dozens of people were killed everywhere in Muslim countries.
So peaceful is this religion.
BBC
At least 31 people were killed across Syria in a series of shootings on Sunday, Syrian activists say.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) they included 14 civilians and 17 security personnel.
Seven civilians died in the central city of Homs and the troops were killed in clashes with mutinous soldiers refusing to shoot on protesters, they said. There is no confirmation.
Nearly 3,000 people have died since the protests began in March, the UN says.
"It was like a war scene in Homs where blasts and sound bombs were heard all over town, with heavy machine-guns also being fired," a statement from the Local Coordination Committees (LCC), which organises protests on the ground, said.

Syrian troops kill 7 on start of Muslim holiday
And Syria celebrates the greatest Muslim Holiday with Murdering some civilians.
Islam the Religion of celebrating with a few Murders.
Associated press(Linky no worky?)
Syrian security forces killed seven people on Tuesday as they opened fire to disperse thousands of protesters rallying against the regime on the first day of a Muslim holiday that marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, activists said.
The activists said security forces fired at protesters in the southern province of Daraa, in the central city of Homs and in Damascus and its suburbs following morning prayers on the start of Eid al-Fitr, a three -day holiday.
"Eid is when the regime goes," read a banner held up by protesters in the city of Daraa, where the uprising against President Bashar Assad's autocratic regime erupted give months ago.
Amateur videos posted by activists online showed fired up protesters calling for the downfall of the regime and execution of the president. Some called for international protection of Syrian civilians. "We are being killed every day," read another banner.

U.S., Israel Monitor Syria's Suspected Cache of Weapons of Mass Destruction
This seems to be a common theme when it comes to Islamic Dictators being taken out of power, what is going to happen with their WMDs ?
Foxnews
The U.S. and Israel are closely monitoring Syria's suspected cache of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), fearing that terror groups could take advantage of the revolt against President Bashar al Assad to obtain blistering agents, nerve gas and long-range missiles, according to officials from both countries.
U.S. intelligence services believe Syria's non-conventional weapons programs include significant stockpiles of mustard gas, VX and Sarin gas and the missile and artillery systems to deliver them, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
United Nations investigators also recently concluded that Damascus had been secretly constructing a nuclear reactor with North Korean help before Israeli jets destroyed the site in late 2007. U.S. and U.N. nonproliferation officials continue to worry that Pyongyang may have provided Syria with additional nuclear-related equipment.
"We are very concerned about the status of Syria's WMD, including chemical weapons," Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Michael Oren, said in an interview. "Together with the U.S. administration, we are watching this situation very carefully."

Assad Warns Against Military Invervention in Syria
I don't believe anyone wants to intervene in Syria, it is a shame what is going on but if there was going to be an intervention we would have heard talk of one by now; not just BS about sanctions.
Foxnews
Syrian President Bashar Assad said Sunday his regime was in no danger of collapse and warned against any foreign military intervention in his country as the regime tries to crush a 5-month-old popular uprising.
In his fourth public appearance since the revolt against his family's 40-year rule erupted in mid-March, Assad insisted that security forces were making inroads against the uprising.
"It may seem dangerous ... but in fact we are able to deal with it," he told state-run TV in a 40-minute interview. It was the first time he has agreed to take any questions, although the state-owned network is a mouthpiece for the regime.

Syrian Navy Ships Join Attack on Coastal City
“Bombing, shelling and shooting all night long,” said a 29-year-old resident of one besieged neighborhood who gave her name as Muhra. “Shooting all over the city and shelling over our heads. We hid inside our house and closed all the doors.”
Taking it from all sides now the Syrian people are in some deep trouble.
All that talking by the U.N. and a few Countries (the U.S. Included) has done nothing to deter Bashar al-ASSad from stopping.
With nobody willing to step in the Syrian People will either die or just give up.
The New York Times
In yet another escalation of its crackdown on dissent, the Syrian government unleashed navy vessels, tanks and a mix of soldiers, security forces and paramilitary fighters against the port city of Latakia on Sunday, killing at least 25 people, including three children, activists and residents said.
The attacks in Latakia marked the third weekend in a row that the government has defied international condemnations in its campaign to snuff out a remarkably resilient uprising, which began in March. The attacks have stoked fresh outrage, in part because they have come during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, traditionally a time of piety and festivity when observant Muslims fast from dawn to dusk.
The attacks grew in ferocity on Sunday, and activists and residents said for the first time that gunfire was coming from navy vessels anchored off the coast. As in Hama, activists said security forces fired anti-aircraft weapons at civilian buildings. In addition, the activists said, land line telephones and Internet connections were cut off to some neighborhoods of Latakia, a city of 650,000 that serves as Syria’s main port.

Turkey gives Syria ultimatum to stop violence
Turkey to Syria,
"Stop it or we will no longer be friends"
pretty tough talk right there, I'm sure Syria will stop killing its people now !
Ynet
Turkey is not ruling out international intervention in Syria, if President Bashar Assad's regime continues its military crackdown against civilians, a senior official in Ankara told Turkey-based Hurriyet paper on Saturday.
The source said that Turkish President Abdullah Gul sent a letter to his Syrian counterpart through Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, in which he delivered an ultimatum to Damascus, demanding to end all violence against protesters.
"Up until now, we've tried to convince the Western nations to give Assad more time to implement reforms. We were as friendly as we could be – we held joint cabinet meetings and canceled the need for visas," Hurriyet quoted the source as saying.
"But if the Syrian regime doesn't listen to our advice, as their friend and neighbor, and continues to shoot on its own people – we can no longer be Turkey's friend," he noted.

U.S. could call for al-Assad to step down
Oh, now its gonna get serious; the U.S. is talking to the U.N.(Useless Nitwits) about talking to Bashar Al-ASSad about stepping down!
This Should get some quick results, like more tanks and deaths!
Keep talking folks the Syrian people will keep dying while you try to figure things out between all of ya !
CNN
The international cries for Syria's government to end a bloody crackdown on civilians could intensify Wednesday as activist groups reported fresh onslaughts in several cities.
The United Nations Security Council is expected Wednesday to follow up on a statement last week that condemned the Syrian regime for attacks on peaceful protesters and called for both sides to end the violence.
Meanwhile, the United States is moving toward issuing an explicit call for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down, U.S. government sources told CNN Tuesday.
The move is expected to be announced in coming days after U.S. officials consult with the United Nations Security Council, the sources said. They said the question of whether to call for al-Assad to step down has been under discussion over the past few weeks, the sources said.
While international leaders mull their next steps, heavy gunfire, explosions and tanks permeated the eastern city of Deir Ezzor on Wednesday, an activist group and a resident said.
