BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian government appeared to have fallen early Sunday in a stunning end to the 50-year rule of the Assad family after a lightning rebel offensive.
The head of a Syrian opposition war monitor said President Bashar Assad had left the country for an undisclosed location, fleeing ahead of insurgents who said they had entered Damascus after a remarkably swift advance across the country.
Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali said the government was ready to “extend its hand” to the opposition and hand over its functions to a transitional government.
Can’t tell if this is edgy Atheism or Islamophobia.
In the unlikely event you actually want to get out whichever bubble you’re in, that phrase is extremely common in that part of the world. It’s a nothing burger, calm down.
Theocratic rule, no matter which theology, never improves things for the citizens.

When an country forces its citizens to follow a state-mandated religion or else face death or severe punishment, and enacts laws that severely limit its citizens’ freedom in the name of their chosen state religion, is it really considered “edgy” to be against it? I dunno, being against tyranny doesn’t sound like something exclusive to atheists. The tyranny being religious in nature doesn’t change that.
I think them using the term ‘edgy’ was just projection. It’s best to avoid taking the bait when trolls do their thing.
Why don’t you live somewhere with theocratic rule?
Weird that part of the world is so dangerous for women, LGBTQ, atheists, Christians… anyone not Muslim…
Im sure it has nothing to do with their minds being stuck in ‘repeat religious phrases non-stop’ mode.
Yeah, but you’re just as bad for pointing that out

I heard it’s all the Democrats fault for not fixing it when they had power.

Yes it is a common phrase but how many governments honestly benefited from having a religious influence? It’s not phobic to be concerned that this new government will be created with any religious groups ideology as guidelines instead of foundational morals and freedoms at it’s core.
To your point, removed hard r was a common phrase as well unfortunately is becoming more common again in the us.
Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it should not be laid ro rest
Religion as a base of government is shit, regardless of which make-belief you got bred with.
I don’t like labels, cause they simplify an opinion you might hold. But i suppose i have some atheistic views, and that’s it.
