A Sectarian Syria…

هذا الحديث دار في باحة حمام السوق في دمشق القديمة… الأسبوع الماضي
أهلين وسهلين. شو الشباب شكلون مو من الشام؟
إي والله من اللاذقية
أهلين. يعني من اللاذقية نفسها وللا من ‘الضيع’؟
جواب من أحد الأشخاص… إي من الضيع. من القرداحة. ليش في شي؟
!!!

This conversation took place only last week, in the hall of a Souq Bath [Hammam] in old Damascus.

- Welcome, I reckon u guys aren’t from Damascus, right?
- Not really, we’re from Latakia.
- Oh, u mean from Latakia itself or the ‘countryside’?
- An answer from one guy… Yes from the countryside, Qardaha, is there a problem?
- !!!

YES, They did turn Syria into a sectarian shit-hole, just waiting to explode.

I AM SYRIAN, JACKASS.
I AM HUMAN, JACKASS.

    hey front bumper, for your information syria has always been that way, it’s not something totally new besides syrians are traders and traders are pragmatic by nature they need to find out where you come from first to relate to you so they can deal you in a way that doesn’t offend you and at the end they wanna make money, they don’t care if you’re alawii or whatever, it’s just their way of being friendly to you so that you can do your business with them….for me it really seems like a very innocent question but as we say “illy ta7t abato msalleh btenkhazo” !!
