Russia Today: International mass media paint the situation in Syria as a never-ending Sunni-Shia feud and hatred towards President Assad. But somehow they keep silent on how thousands of Sunnis have found friends in the Shia-dominated Lebanese regions.
Instead, they say Sunni support for Syrian government is a result of Assad propaganda.
The Sunni refugees from Syria prove the international media wrong. Their experience shows that the Shia treat Sunnis as friends, while foreign militants stoke religious hatred and bring along nothing but devastation.
None of the refugees I talked to was a civil servant. All these people’s homes and lives were destroyed by the war.
Some had initially sympathized with the revolution, but as things went on, they changed their minds. Propaganda tells them to despise the Syrian government and the Shia, and to welcome the rebels, their liberators. But these people see the Syrian army as liberators and they are thankful to the Shia.
“Of course our relations with the Shia are good – how else can it be given that we have fled to join them?”

Excellent and important article…
The international media has only time for ‘black and white’ stories. The Syria conflict comes in all shades in-between…
Sunni-Shi’a antagonism is farce
In fact Sunni-Shi’a antagonism is distorted by anti-Islamic media in order to keep them fight each other, helping the enemies of Islam.
Sunni-Shi’a are twin brothers meant for creating genuine peace atmosphere globally.
An impression has been deliberatley created by anti-Islamiic to confuse and fool the Mulsims with the vengenous propoganda of incombatability of Sunni-Shia’ brotherhood.
Muslims need to be on vigil agianst all such poisonous smear campigns by the enemies of Islam.
In recent years, Islam has lost millions of adherants in the so-called “war on terror” which is indeed war on Islam.
