Mr Glazer needs to read this:Looks like Jordon's King does not agree with Mr Glazer either.

Jordan's Abdullah: Syria Chemical Weapons 'Scare Us All'

"What scares most of us is the chemical weapons falling into rebel hands," Jordanian monarch tells CBS.
Gil RonenKing Abdullah II of Jordan expressed his concern over the situation in neighboring Syria, and especially over the potential use of Syria's chemical weapons.

In an interview with Charlie Rose on "CBS This Morning," Abdullah was asked if Syrian strongman Bashar Assad would use chemical weapons against his rivals. "I hope to God that he wouldn't because I think that would be a tripwire for many nations in the international community," Abdullah said.

"The chemical weapons (are) something that scares everybody," he added. "What scares most of us is the chemical weapons falling into rebel hands. And who are those rebels? And obviously the use of chemical weapons against innocent people."

Abdullah repeated his "tripwire" statement, in an apparent warning to Assad that use of the weapons would cause other countries to intervene militarily in the fighting: "...There's so many levels of attention against Syria. So as we're working on the political level, trying to find a solution, if he uses chemical weapons, is that the tripwire that all of a sudden... the international community has to react? So I hope he understands that this would be a major miscalculation. More complicated than that, what happens if some of those storage depots fall into rebel hands?"

Abdullah said he thinks the weapon sites need to be secured by the international community but also appeared to warn against an invasion in response to the use of chemical weapons. "I hope that you're not looking at it as a reason for intervention," he said. "I think it's a crisis where we have to react. And the problem I am weary of people looking at it as a reason in other words, I hope people are not planning to sort of push whoever there may be to make sure that those storage sites fall into... the minute you cross the borders then no plan goes the way you planned it. So the minute you cross the border with armed forces or the military, then it's anybody's guess what the outcome is."

The king estimated that Assad will continue to "stick to his guns" indefinitely. "I'm worried about the longer we take to find a political solution and the more the chaos continues then we may be pushing Syria into the abyss." He defined "the abyss" as "complete and utter civil war, which will take us, I think, years to come back from."

Muslim Brotherhood Joins War in Syria

By Ben Gedalyahu

The fractious civil war in Syria has reinvigorated the countrys branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is supplying rebels with arms, according to the London Telegraph.

Arutz Sheva reported last week that the Muslim Brotherhoods deputy leader vowed that Syria will become an Islamic state after the presumed fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Now, the Islamist terrorist political party, which won the elections in Egypt, is raising funds to arm Syrian rebels, who are fighting themselves as well as Assad.

The "Armed Men of the Muslim Brotherhood has raised $40-50,000 to arm rebels who are not allied with the Free Syrian Army (FSA), the London newspaper stated.

The Muslim Brotherhood is exploiting a split between the Free Syrian Army, funded by Saudi Arabia, and the Syrian national Council, funded by Qatar and seen as close to the Islamist ideology and jihad trumpeted by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Israeli military officials have drawn up several scenarios of what will evolve in Syria. One is a fractured country, with Assads Alawite supporters ruling a small region and the revels dominating the rest of the country. In the meantime, the IDF has deepened trenches and beefed up patrols alng the border with the Golan Hiehgts to prevent terrorist nfiltrations.

The civil war has evolved into a race between terrorist groups trying to turn Syria into a new Islamist country, and Al Qaeda, which President Barack Obama has claimed is on the way to being destroyed.

Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri, who succeeded assassinated leader Osama bin Laden, broadcast a videotape Saturday urging Muslims countries bordering Syria Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey to join the war against Assads cancerous regime."

Suicide bombings, likely carried out by Al Qaeda terrorists, have become more frequent in the raging war, which has claimed the lives of nearly 20,000 people in 18 months. Two suicide car bombers struck last week in Aleppo, where Assad has attacked rebels and civilians with aerial bombings.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 4 or 5 Arab or Muslim nations, e.g. Egypt, have recently fallen to rebels or oppostion and all of them have become nations led by the Muslim Brotherhood or other Islamofascist groups, how can Mr Glazer be so ignorant as to who will take over when Syria falls? In addition, all of the Arab countries which have fallen to Islamofascists are now allies of Iran, so how can Mr Glazer think that anything will be different with Syria?

The "Arab Spring" has been shown to not be a democracy movement, but an anti-monarchy movement. The democracy established by "Arab Spring" has in all cases and will cause in Syria a rise to power of islamofascism. We know this not only because it has happened every where else this has happened, but a Pew study a few years ago found that 70% of Arabs want an islamic state, so democracy for them only guarantees the establishment of another Islamic state in Syria.

But this is really just a repeat of Iran of decades ago. This is exactly what happened in Iran and it is inevitable that it will happen all over the Arab world including Jordan and Saudi Arabia. It is just a matter of time.

It is really quite strange that Mr Glazer would think it could happen any other way, when we have had such changes in governments in the Arab world for the past 30 years and all of them have become islamic states and all of them are allies of Iran. What makes Syria any different?

Even democratic Turkey has turned into an islamic state and has become a friend of Iran.

What we are witnessing is the return of the caliphate, one state at a time. How Mr Glazer can think that this is good, especially with Iran close to development of the nuclear bomb, is beyond my comprehension.
