Couldn’t believe my ears hearing that demonstrators in Damascus, the Syrian capital, set fire to the buildings that house the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish embassies and the European Commission this afternoon.
While it is unquestionable that such a reaction will undoubtedly harm the diplomatic relationships between Syria and these European countries and the EU, will put Syrian politicians in a difficult situation, will tarnish the image of Syrian people in the eyes of the world, it will serve the case of those who strive to depict Islam, a religion of peace and harmony, as a doctrine of terror and violence.
It was most unexpeced that such an extreme reaction would take place in Syria of all Islamic countries.
The failure of Syrian police and security forces to hold the furious crowd back is another unexplainable facet..
