Well poo poo, now I gotta know if Saladin actually had a chin under that beard

Even more hilarious Assad's idol was a Kurd.

Not to mention Saladin was even admired by the crusaders since he was a honorable man who would often grant clemency to defeated enemies.

if he's the Lion of Syria, then maybe the US just needs to send a dentist from Minnesota over there?

he grants them swift and magnanimous clemency after they spent six months starving to death.

it's their fault for trying to hold a castle against Saladin.

The real shocking thing about Assad is how he even has tanks left after 4 years of war.

if saudi arabia was willing to let idi amin have an awesome palace sorry google tells me it was a 'spacious villa' im sure theyll give one to the assads

that first lady seems like the kind of person the huffington post wouldve written a glowing bio about like five years ago

It would also be hilariously ironic too given how Saudi Arabia has provided both arms and men to the sunni side of the conflict.

it'd suck to be a muslim in moscow, though, since russians are all about vodka and muslims can't drink

Most rich arabs don't follow that part of Islam in private
