You call unarmed civilians going against an army with tanks, bombs and guns a jihad? It is a slaughter and the people who have started the rebellion are only aggravating the Tyrant. Only bloodshed will be acheived. Revolution and Rebellion are not the Muslim way. Real jihad fee sabillilah is when you fight in ranks against the kuffar with appropriate weapons. It is part of kufr politics to instigate revolutions and coup. Sun Tzu a Chinese strategist taught that battles can be won in without fighting, it sounds like Muslims need to learn strategy and they need leadership, not a leaderless mob of un armed revolutionaries.

Brother, you speak alot of sense. But the people of Syria, directly or indirectly are suffering from this conflict. In light of this, may I ask, what would you see as the way forwards here to bring an end to the continued warfare, destruction and death?

On the matter of Imran Hussein, following his talks on economics and global affairs is one thing - which he is good at - although maybe not articulated in the best fashion. On matters regarding Islam and primary sources, Qur'an and Hadith etc, I would avoid giving any credence to his views having heard some in his talks in the past.
